Answer 1 :
As long as there have been no complications, i dont see why not.. I mean as long as you wont be away from home for more than a couple days
Answer 2 :
Yes, just make sure you get out of the car and stretch out every hour or so, also drink lots of water.
Answer 3 :
I would assume it would be safe, but see your GP first to make sure he says its fine to travel considering your almost full term and you don't want to go into labor whilst traveling.
Answer 4 :
Some Dr's prefer you don't but if it's ok with them there shouldn't be any problem
Answer 5 :
Oh yea you can travel. You might just want to stop half way so you can stand up and stretch. Get your self repositioned and head on your way
Answer 6 :
We drove from Ny to Virginia when I was in my 8th month and I was ok I just have to warn you- make sure you stop along the way to walk and move your legs. Your circulation will be very poor from being in the car that long and your legs are going to swell. Make sure you stop and I don't suggest driving yourself. Let someone else drive. Make sure you have room to put your feet up and don't plan too much on the first day as you should probably lay down and elevate your legs. The swelling can be miserable. We drove down and I slept for awhile then walked along the beach and it was wonderful. A last vacation for baby arrives and I am so glad to have done it. Go with you but bring your baby stuff just in case, insurance info and your birth plan in case of emergency. Gl and enjoy your trip.
