in 3rd Trimester
Am I crazy for planning to join on my nephews 2nd birthday trip to Disney at 33wks? I can’t imagine missing it!!!… but unsure how I will be feeling. I’m 28wks now, normal aches and pains but think I can tough it out for a day. It’s a quick 1hr flight and I plan on renting an electric scooter to fall back on if needed. The hotel is close if I need a mid day break and I plan to be there more for the vibes not the rides! My OB didn’t object but said I’d be miserable and I’ve had mixed responses from the rest of the family. For reference I’m a nurse and am used to pulling 12hr shifts on my feet so feeling this would be pretty similar. Has anyone else done a trip at this point in pregnancy, how did it go??

    I think it’s totally doable but maybe look into nearby hospitals and which ones have what level of NICU care just in case. My doctor has been telling me the biggest risks of traveling in the third trimester is blood clots (not moving on long flights or drives) and being far away from your preferred hospital in case something happens. The airlines may not let you fly though if you’re showing a lot. My MIL traveled to Ireland at 33 weeks just fine, so it really seems case by case but take your precautions and extra steps!

    I agree that is doable! My friend did Disney at 35 weeks and rented a wheelchair and did great
