Is it okay to travel long while your pregnant ?

With Precautions.: Long travel requiring extended periods of sitting is not good for anyone. Pulmonary emboli can occur. Move around. In a pregnant lady the risks are greater. If you have to travel long distances stop frequently and walk around as much as possible. Clot usually form in legs so use your leg muscles as much as you can.

Risk of DVT: Long travel. Meaning not being able to walk for three or four hours at a stretch is risk for developing blood clots in the leg veins or a Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT). Therefore if you must have a long journey try to take short walks in between, stay well hydrated. Of course consult with your doctor about flying in late pregnancy.
