Whats the latest you've traveled or will travel in your pregnancy?

DH and I are currently at 40,000 feet in the air on our way to Houston and I'm 31 days from my EDD.  We're heading down to do some house hunting and will be flying back in 2 days.

Re: Whats the latest you've traveled or will travel in your pregnancy?

  • My doc said I can travel as long as I want...

    I haven't wanted to.  I'm so uncomfortable as is, and getting so swollen, that the idea of being on a plane hasn't been at all appealing.  The last time I was on a plane was in June, when DH and I went to San Francisco for our "pre-pregnancy babymoon."  We might have actually gotten pregnant there, actually. :-)

  • I just flew from Minnesota to Florida for a 4 day work trip by myself at 32-33 weeks. The flight sucked because LO hated being in that position for that long but overall the trip was really great!

  • I flew with my son to Chicago at 34 weeks for a long weekend.  That'll be it for me now.
  • I'm driving to Los Angeles (a 2 hour drive one way) and back on Sunday for an event, and that'll probably be the last trip.

  • Tony and I flew to Mexico for his godmother's wedding at the end of January, which put me at about 32 weeks. That trip just about did me in.

  • I traveled to FL from MN at 32/33 weeks with DS1 and from MN to Chicago at 36 weeks with DS2. I was uncomfortable with the car ride to and from IL, but was otherwise fine. My MW didn't give her blessing on the trip, but DH was a groomsman in a wedding.

    This is the first pregnancy I haven't traveled a few states!

  • I was told I can travel til my 35th week and then after that to stay within an hour of my house. Only condition to all my flying is compression socks, plenty of water, and getting up once an hour for a short walk. So far so good.... Have completed 10 trips since January and I have two more flights booked with my two weeks of travel left. 

  • DH and I just got back from a trip to Oh. Where we flew out at 33 weeks and drove back to Co. at 34.5wks. I'll tell you that plane ride was miserable!! I was super tired, couldn't get comfy, it was terrible. Driving back wasn't so bad. We brought DH's truck so I was able to stretch out in the back seat with a ton of pillows and blankets :) but the stopping to pee often wasn't so fun. I think I'll just stay put now unless LO seems to be ok with arriving late then I'm begging DH to take me to the Rockies first home game. 
  • My doctor said that up to 36 weeks I was free to travel by plane, train or automobile.  But after that I need to stay close.

  • My dr told me 34 week cutoff for air travel - so next weekend (just past 34 weeks) is our last trip; a flight to DC for the weekend to get together with several friends for an impromptu college reunion, sans kids.  I'm looking forward to it!

    I will likely be driving about an hour & a half - two hours away 5 days before my due date. I haven't mentioned it to my MW yet, and not sure what she'll say, but I don't really care if she doesn't like the idea. My dad is turning 70 on Easter Sunday, and it's very important to me that I be there for that.

  • My dr. told me that I can travel up to 35 weeks. My Husband and I will be driving from Minnesota to Michigan for our baby shower and I will be 33 weeks going and 34 weeks coming back. I'm not looking forward to the drive. :-( 
  • I can fly up to 36 weeks. I will be flying at 35 weeks exactly, but it is only a one hour flight.
