A member asked:
If i am 38 weeks pregnant can traveling to a higher elevation cause my water to break or can traveling at all cause me to go into labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Travel: You really should not be traveling at all at 38 weeks pregnancy unless you want to risk going into labor in an unfamiliar environment. Play it safe and stick close to home.
