At some point, every pregnant woman wonders if it is safe to travel. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) suggests that the best time to travel is between the 14th and 28th weeks of pregnancy, or the second trimester. The mother-to-be is usually over her morning sickness and tiredness by then. It is also the time during the pregnancy when complications are least likely to occur. However, it is possible to be safe while traveling during the 34th week of pregnancy. Significance Traveling at week 34 and beyond is especially risky because it is very close to the motherâs due date--only six weeks away.
