Is it advisable to travel when I am pregnant?
Patient: I live in reno Nv.. which is about 4200 feet above sea level. I wanted to visit my mother in-law tomorrow for mothers day. she lives in lake tahoe nv. which is about 6300 feet. the drive is only 1hr15mins. but i am 35weeks and 4 days pregnant. is it ok to go, or not? Doctor: hi I understand your concern. as per your history I can suggest you can travel but with great caution.because at your stage chances of preterm delivers are high.I could not detect from your history that it's a high risk pregnancy or low risk one ...by saying this I mean hope you are not having placenta previa etc.if that is not there then you can travel but try and take progesterone support 2 days before going and continue it for one week.ang be gentle with the driving.hope this solves your query.
