13 hour flight + 2 hour car ride during week 6

I just found out that I’m in week 5 of my pregnancy this morning. I have a trip planned for end of next week which involves long plane ride and 2 hour car ride (I will most likely have to drive). I however read that it’s not advisable to do such long trips early on as it increases risks of miscarriages. Does anyone have advice on this? #firsttimemom #advicepls #firstbaby

Hey! I wasn’t aware I was pregnant when I went on my 10 days vacation (12hrs flight with 1 transit in between and car rides of 2+hrs) but I had a hunch since we were trying and I had missed my period for 2 days before we flew. So i didn’t manage to speak to any doctors beforehand! But because I suspected I was expecting, I tried to take things easy and stress-free and do a chill vacation instead. I also gave all the heavy liftings to my husband and started being careful of what I ate (no caffeine, no raw food, no alcohol etc). I’m now back in SG and have been to my first appt and so far so good! Of course, best to seek advice from your gynae first before flying - just rmb not to be stressed out and watch what u consume when u’re on ur trip!

Good to cancel the trip as baby’s safety most important. Anddd not forgetting morning sickness starts around this time. I also cancelled my trip and save up on my annual leave. :)
