Traveling while Pregnant?
Hello Ladies 
So I travel for work, a lot. I'm wondering how my travel schedule will be impacted once DH and I actually start TTC/get pregnant (I know how it effects the actual conception part 
). I travel primarily within the continental US but occasionally into Canada and down to Puerto Rico.
For those ladies that are pregnant or have been pregnant, did your doctor put travel restrictions on you? If so at what point in pregnancy?
Thanks Ladies 
Re: Traveling while Pregnant?
I wasn't ever placed on restrictions, nor did I ever fly while pregnant. So I never asked my doctor about it. A lot of it will depend on your specific pregnancy and if any complications come up. They may even look at family history since you have never been pregnant before. It seems like they don't want you flying even before 32 weeks but I could be wrong there.
We drove to Vegas for my best friend's wedding when I was six and 1/2 months pregnant. I also drove to Phoenix fairly often, but once I got to 36 weeks I didn't even feel comfortable with that and stopped going.
I had a fairly simple pregnancy in comparison to what others have been through, but I personally would not have flown past 7 months pregnant, but that was just me and not based on anything my doctor or others said.

I travel weekly for work and am gone sometimes just overnight, sometimes all week. My job does have the potential for international (just Canada) but it's very rare. I'm not very far but I'll give you my experience thus far.
First tri traveling sucks because you're tired and you feel like crap. I generally feel tired from traveling just because of time zone changes, long nights and early mornings, and general dehydration from being on planes. It's harder when all you want to do is go back to sleep 2 hours after you've woken up. I haven't told anyone at work so they see me yawning and wonder what the hell is up with me. I can generally excuse it by saying it was a late night. It does suck dealing with nausea, vomiting, and heartburn because it's not like at the end of the day I can run back to my bed and climb in and hibernate. I'm either getting on a plane or going back to a hotel room and I need to work for another 2-3 hours.
I haven't seen my doc yet, but my biggest concern is the lifting. I almost never check my bag and I want to be sure that it's okay to keep hefting my suitcase into the overhead bin. I know that after a certain point, I'll be cut off from hopping on the plane and after I tell my work, we'll work on a plan to let me work at home exclusively for a few weeks or something. I do plan on returning back to traveling a few months after I give birth. As for things going wrong, it honestly doesn't worry me. I travel primarily to hospitals and doctor's offices for work so I have very good access to medical care should an emergency arise.
I don't want to sound whiny but at this stage in the game it's not like I get to sport a bump that let's people know I'm knocked up, and that's why I need to know where your nearest bathroom is. I do love my job and I know that this part will pass, so it's all good.
