Traveling = bad idea

MamaAllisonMamaAllison member

PSA for those of you considering traveling - don't do it! I'm on my way back to Philly from Providence on the train and I am in agony. So uncomfortable!! I can't wait to get home and take a hot bath and sleep in my bed. On the bright side I got to meet my oldest and dearest friend's new baby and prove to myself I've still got newborn skills - he slept on my chest for an hour!

    I hear ya.  My parents are going to Gatlinburg next week and my mom asked if I wanted to come along.  I said NO WAY.  I would be absolutely miserable.

    I flew to Texas (from California) in November and it wasn't SO bad, but I wasn't as pregnant as I am now... right now I think I'd be MISERABLE!!!! :( I hope you enjoy your hot bath & bed!

    I can't imagine traveling for a long period of time! I hope you get some good rest when you get home.

    Congratulations on meeting the new baby! :)

    I can't see your sig on when you are due as I'm mobile but isn't there a limit from most airlines on how late you could fly?

    This! 36 weeks is the cut off with most airlines. I flew at 34&35 weeks this past week. I actually had to show the flight attendant my doctors note. Just be careful! (Compression maternity tights, stay hydrated and get up and walk around every hour.)

    Train ride was 6.5 hours. And just for fun LO did this really painful spin move 20 minutes from our destination. I am so sore but I haven't seen DD1 in two days and she's going to want to play with me. Maybe she'll take a bath with me in our jacuzzi tub?

    So...you are saying when I am 36 weeks pregnant it ISN'T the best idea to travel by car 7 hours to Dallas for my sisters wedding?! :) (they moved my due date up 2 weeks so I was only suppose to be 34 weeks!) my Dr. says no, other Drs and nurses I have talked to said as long as you get out and walk every hour for circulation, should be fine!

    I just took a 4 hr road trip and it was surprisingly bearable. I won't be doing it again. But I tried sleeping on and off which made it much easier.

    Yes! Horrible idea! But your sisters wedding, talk about rock and a hard place!

    @megash113 the baby smelled poopy the whole time! I guess he was just gassy but I felt robbed of an important part of the whole experience, haha!

    Yeah I know. I am just taking it one day at a time and see how I feel. I am matron of honor and will be 2 blocks from Baylor, but still getting kind of nervous about it! Plan on taking it easy and going Thursday/coming back Sunday just so it won't be all shoved together and lots of rest while I am there!
