Pregnant during a CONUS to OCONUS OCS, tips?

Question

My husband, 1 year old and I will be driving up to Alaska for a PCS in July and I may or may not be pregnant. What are some tips you would recommend for the process? 
Note: this is also our first PCS, and we have two small dogs and a cat that will be traveling with us in a car. We are planing 3 weeks for the trip including stops and vacation time.

Answer

Hey girl ! I’m currently in Alaska with my husband we’ve been stationed here for a year an a half now .  I have a 7 month old that was born here on base and I love their obgyns on base . As far as the drive, we made the drive from North Carolina through canada and up to Alaska in 10 days driving 10 hours a day for 5 days then about 5 hours a day for the remaining 5 days. We brought both our dogs and drove in my husbands truck . The military moved our household goods.
One thing I will say is that at the border for Canada they made us empty our entire car (not sure why) and checked our orders and military IDs before letting us proceed. We drove in November and it was super icy conditions but it should be a beautiful drive for you.
Depending on where you drive through there is a lot of national parks you go through that can be packed in the summer with tourist (not sure about this summer since Covid-19) 
The hotels throughout Canada are kind of dodgy in some areas mostly like a half decent motel 6 lol but most will accept animals just have to call ahead of time .
Sometimes gas stations will be closed for 200 miles plus so I would recommend a spare gas can to bring and some money you switch into Canadian cash if possible (we did this and didn’t have to use any but better safe than sorry) 
Also our windshield got cracked on the way the roads are super rocky and your phone probably won’t work well while driving but should work decently with the WiFi at hotels . 
If you have any more questions feel free to ask that was just on the top of my head . Love to have more people in Alaska to get to know ! Hope your trip goes well!
