Need your opinion on this one.
My ILs want to take us to Hawaii in October. I will be 20 weeks. I think there is no way in hell I should be going that late (or at all, really), especially with how high risk identicals are.
MH thinks I am being "too conservative" and "overly cautious." I probably am, and obviously wouldn't do anything without asking the peri, but the ILs were trying to book it this weekend. I told them not to book it. I don't even start seeing the peri for 3 weeks, and I know that he really wouldn't be able to make a decision until right before the trip.
Would you have felt comfortable traveling to Hawaii (5 hour flight each way) at 20 weeks pregnant?
Thanks!

Re: shannon&alan and tifersue
Hawaii at 20 weeks.....??? I prolly wouldn't...I would LOVE to, but that is REALLY far away from home. (I might have a little earlier on if i had permission) Granted I did go to havasu at 24 weeks but that is only a 4 hour drive....not flight. and my doc had told be specifically NO traveling anywhere once into 3rd tri AT ALL (i know 20 weeks is still 2nd, but still).....(visiting family an hour ok, but I mean anything like havasu or long drives etc etc) But i WOULD definately ask your doc, bec identicals do pose a higher risk. I take everything appt to appt and you are so early right now its hard to say what will or will not happen. Everything might be great and no probs, but then maybe not.....
I personal;ly try not to be too conservative and overly cautious but its hard...you have to start thinking abotu other people already and you want to the best for them too :-) Hope this helps???
It does help, thanks.
I guess it's the 5 hour plane ride over ocean that gets me. And yes, it's REALLY far! I just wouldn't feel comfortable with it, no matter how well the pregnancy might be going. I also think that it will be appt to appt. I have heard stories of girls who are fine one week and on bed rest the next, just like that.
Of course I would LOVE to go, but Hawaii will always be there and right now, my priority is laying low and staying healthy and safe.

I am glad you BIP! Thank you for offering up your opinion. And I totally agree with everything you are saying.
I am so sorry about your cousin.

The bottom line is that I could give twoshits about going on vacation this year. Life changed the other day, and my priorities have changed. And no, I would never forgive myself if something happened while over there. Plus, the flight home is from 11 pm - 7 am and that just sounds mizzo for a pregnant lady.
MH finally understands. He is still bummed about not going to Hawaii, but there isn't much I can do about that.
