Is it safe?

I was wondering... Is it safe I travel 18 hours by car at 31 weeks?? My family lives in California along with my boyfriends family. We were goin to drive down and pick up some of our things that got left behind when we moved but I just need to know is it safe to go that far this late in pregnancy?

Well I'm only 31 weeks so if you ladies I'd it at 34 weeks I should be ok. But I'll still ask my dr. I haven't had any problems with this pregnancy so hopefully it will be ok

I am 34 weeks and drove 13 hours to my parents. Doc said it was fine. Usually around 36wks they advise staying closer. Depends on your history though
