Third Trimester of Pregnancy Answer A31893
Hi, and thanks for your query on eHealth forum!

If everything is going normal, and you take it easy and stop in between to stretch your legs then yes, you should be able to travel. The road should be good, there should be no undue jerks, and most of all you must get a clearance from your gynecologist that you can travel. Hope this helps. Take care!
