[nandaa]

I'm 29 weeks and this weekend my bfs family is having a family reunion. Everybody gets together for a camping trip up in Sonora Im kind of worried being away from home don't want to be far away if anything happens.. is it safe to travel at 29 weeks? Any advice ???

Your best bet is to talk to your doctor/midwife. They know your history better than anyone here (other than you :) ) and could help with that. I know I was supposed to fly down to San Diego at about 31 weeks but once I went high risk for preterm labor, doc shut that down.

We're going camping in a few weeks, I'll be 33 weeks.  We will be about 5 hours away.  You can ask your doctor what they think, but I cant see a problem with it!

Well my sis in law just traveled to our family reunion at 34 weeks. She seemed tired and worn out by the end of the trip. but said that there is no actual health risk to flying just discomfort. Mind you she seemed pretty darn uncomfortable.  Take lots of pillows with you!

Most drs would say yes so long as you have had no problems. You can/ should call your dr and ask if they have any concerns about you going. But, I wouldn't see it being a issue provided you aren't at any added risk of problems. Happy camping :)
