Is travelling while pregnant okay to you?plans ruined 😢

Ashley

So everyone gave me a hard time about travelling so much... and then while pregnant! My husband and I usually go on a vacation every few months so when I got pregnant we definitely slowed things down but everyone felt the need to comment that it’s not good to travel so much, when my doctor said it’s totally fine!

- I had a miscarriage a week before our trip to nyc for Christmas. We started trying right away. Some even felt the need to say it was from the travelling. Funny thing is I had the miscarriage before this trip and didn’t fly around the time I would have become pregnant

-I found out I was pregnant the day after coming home from hawaii in January.

-I was soooo sick from 6-16 weeks that I didn’t even leave the house more than needed.

- went to Vegas in the end of May and again the end of June!

- well my 30th birthday is coming up and wanted to go Seattle for my birthday weekend. I never celebrate my birthday! But the big 3-0 is coming and so close to baby. So why not 🤷🏻‍♀️ also I would have to go on a Saturday Sunday because I’m on sick leave and not allowed out of Canada during the week. So go late Friday night and then go to Vancouver late Sunday night! Great plan right? Well I then look into my extended healthcare and I’m not covered for travel into the states after 34 weeks and 6 days. Which puts me to the day before my birthday... like really! What are the chances! So guess that’s out lol so next best thing???? ROCKY MOUNTAINS FOR THE WEEKEND! even though it’s double the price, we’re so excited to have our baby moon and my last free birthday away together. But... there’s still people saying I shouldn’t be travelling!!!! And it’s unhealthy! Unsafe! And I should just be enjoying my time at home! News flash! We like to travel.

Why do people need to be so negative???? And why do people like to pretend they’re my doctor? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I would never risk the safety of myself and my baby to go on a trip!
