Travelling during first trimester?

I'm supposed to be 7wks LMP but sca. Showed 5kw2d and only a small sac, too small to s3e if there's a yoke. I have a planned flight for a weekend on my supposed LMP 11wks, should I still go? Anyone traveled during first trimester?

Hi there, Traveling during the first trimester can be a bit tricky, especially given your ultrasound results showing the sac at 5 weeks and 2 days. Generally, many women do travel during the first trimester without much issue, but there are a few things to consider to ensure you and your baby's safety. Firstly, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider before making any decisions. They can give you personalized advice based on your medical history and current pregnancy status. Given that you mentioned the sac is currently too small to see a yolk, your doctor might want to monitor you closely over the next few weeks. Here are some tips if you decide to go ahead with your travel plans: 1. **Stay Hydrated**: Air travel can be dehydrating, so make sure to drink plenty of water. 2. **Move Around**: Try to stretch your legs and walk around every hour or so to prevent blood clots, which pregnant women are at higher risk for. 3. **Comfortable Clothing**: Wear loose and comfortable clothes to stay relaxed during the flight. 4. **Healthy Snacks**: Pack some nutritious snacks to keep your energy levels up and manage any nausea. 5. **Medical Records**: Carry a copy of your prenatal records just in case you need to visit a doctor while you're away. If your doctor gives the green light, there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy your weekend trip. Just take it easy and listen to your body. Safe travels! https://invl.io/cll6she
