Im scared to make travel plans in advance because what if im pregnant?
My husband and I really want to go on a trip to visit his grandmother who lives on the other side of the country (5.5 hour flight, yikes). I’m not good with flying to begin with (I get so much anxiety and motion sickness) and I’m so terrified that if we plan this trip but I’m pregnant and having nausea or other symptoms from the pregnancy I’m going to be suffering.
I keep thinking we’ll make the plan once I’m pregnant and can see how bad it is for me, or maybe plan to go in my second trimester if the nausea hopefully dies down or something. But... I’m not even pregnant yet, so what if it takes us a while to conceive and then we don’t end up going for a really long time? I don’t want to put our lives on hold and delay visiting his family because I “might” be pregnant, especially because we don’t know how soon it’ll even happen.
But like, I’m in my TWW now if we just plan to go next month or something, I would be at 7-9w pregnant and at prime time for morning sickness and suffer the whole time 😖😫
I don’t know what to do ladies. Am I the only one who really stresses about making advanced plans like this because “what if I’m pregnant”? How do you handle it?
