    Hi Sneha..

    Congrats dear :) I had travelled Malaysia and India twice during my 3rd month of pregnancy...It was perfectly normal. Do ask ur doctor abt this..make sure u have a complete check-up before ur trip.

    Also since I had an abortion previously..my doctor gave me a hormone pill..it would avoid any miscarriage . Do check with ur gynec :)

    Dear Cinduja,

    You can do Air Travel during pregnancy. When I was 9 weeks pregnant ,I travelled from India to US.It was cool.I took my tablets including tablets to avoid vomiting and pre natals. I brought fitness certificate from my Gynec.Took some help from the airline staff to handle my luggage.

    Information from our ILites, helped me a lot. If you go thru the entire thread you'll be clear on this.

    Pinky.

    Hi Sneha,

    CONGRATS ! Your doctor knows very well about your condition. So, discuss with her and follow her advice.

    All the best !

    Re: Is it safe to travel in first trimester

    Hi monlisa...

    Please check with your doctor, because this is really hard to advice that you should go or not go. In my case, a week before we went on cruise, I found out that I was 5 weeks pregnant, so much money was spent and vaccation time was taken. So, I consulted my doctor, even though my doctor considered me high risk pregnancy, she let me go on cruise and people who took us around the city in the buses, the roads were bumpy and uncomfortble ride. But by the grace of god I made it fine. But I was so worried. So, you never know what to expect when you are on the road. Its totally upto you and your doctor.

    Take care.
