I was stupid to have my baby shower in Virginia around the time I'll be hitting 34 weeks😞 should…

Is there a big altitude change?

No, it's just the fact that it's a 6 hour drive and I didn't know traveling at nearly 34 weeks long distance is usually a no no

@kimberlyyyy

I've only heard of altitude changes, usually from lower elevations to higher elevations being a concern, but I'm not sure about long distances. Is there a way you can ask your doctor before leaving? I would think if you don't have and risks for complications they may let you go, but it's always best to ask. Sorry I can't help you.

My doctor gave me the okay to go 8 hours away when I was 35 weeks but I didn't end up going because the plans fell through. As long as you aren't high risk or showing signs of preterm labor, you should be okay.

@kimberlyyyy, I plan to call my OB tomorrow. Everything has been looking good though. Had my 32 week check up today and my baby shower is the 19th. Thank you anyways :)

@scc2413, okay thank you 😊

No problem! I'd just call and double check but usually they tell you as long as you're feeling up to it and stuff.

@scc2413, okey doke
