33 weeks and traveling

[Butterball66]

So my father passed this morning and i will be making the 14 hour drive next week for the funeral.....have any other ladies traveled while pregnant. Is there anything extra i should bring for myself or worry about. I will be driving a little more than half the trip because hubby cant highway drive.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your dad! My Dr just told me to move or walk around for 10 mins for every 2 to 2 1/2 hrs of travel. Safe travels.

I know I was told to take lots of breaks with my last child I don't remember how often and for how long

If ur doctor say Its ok. Also check with ur insurance. Some insurance wouldn't pay if u go out of state without a doctor's letter. My condolences to you and your family. Pray at the funeral cause its bad luck going to a funeral while pregnant.

Thank you ladies and i look into those socks. Im use to driving straight through so the extra stops will be annoying but anything to keep myself heathly.

Sorry to hear about your father. I'm Australian & I will be doing the 24 hour flight while pregnant. The most important thing is to drink loads of water which will probably mean etc batroom stops but it's important.  My doctor also told me to wear compression socks. It's to prevent blood clots from not moving so I guess it would be same while driving for so long. It's perfectly safe to fly so same goes for driving. Take care of yourself & best wishes for the hard goodbye to your Dad x x
