A member asked:

Is it safe to travel by road around 27-28 weeks pregnant? i.e drive from jhb to durban

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Travel at 28 weeks: Travel at any time in pregnancy is not generally a problem unless in an accident or other risk factors are present in the pregnancy. Ask your OB provider about your obstetric condition and possible risks of early labor before your trip.
