Travel anxiety

in 2nd Trimester
I am 17.5 weeks and I've suddenly developed travel anxiety - not about the actual flight, but all the preparation beforehand and making sure the trip goes smoothly. This month I am flying from the Midwest to the East Coast three times (once for a consultancy project, twice for job interviews), and it's making me freak out a bit. I am about to leave for the second trip, and am experiencing huge anxiety about things like the clothes I'm going to wear (I have to hide my pregnancy for the job interview), not having a chance to eat as often as I need to, and feeling sick (these job interviews last from morning to night). This is really frustrating as I used to love going away for solo trips! Anyone else feeling like this?

    I feel the same way.  I don't have any flights planned but just thinking about being away from home all day stresses me out.  I get worried that I won't feel well or will get really tired.  And this is not like me at all!  I guess its just another fun pregnancy thing :)

    Yep...I'm on a business trip right now and flying home tonight.  After this trip I found out I now loathe traveling for all the reasons that you have mentioned.  Plus it feels like I am so wiped out at the end of the day but sleeping somewhere that is not my own bed is the worst.  I also don't like not having my husband with me in case something should go wrong while I am away.  I have three more business trips over the next three weeks and that wraps up my travel before the LO arrives.  I'm excited for April.
