Personally I would be uncomfortable going that far when I’m about 38 weeks, but it also depends on how your feeling. On my first pregnancy I struggled with a lot of back pain and I wasn’t physically able to sit in a car for long periods, so this kind of journey would not have been possible for me.
I’m doing a 6hr work trip next week, 3 hrs there, then in the office for a meeting for 4-5 hrs then driving 3hrs back.. I could book a hotel but I have antenatal class which I want to get back for and I don’t sleep at all in hotels etc I’d rather be in my own bed. I will just making sure I stop every 1/1.5 hrs, drinking plenty of water on the way, walking around loads when I stop to reduce swelling etc. I’ll be 33 weeks. Hoping it’s the last time I need to go before maternity leave!
My parents are a similar distance and I do the same. I’m 34 weeks and have been in and out of hospital with high BP the last couple of weeks so decided that’s it for me visiting them till the baby comes. If I had no complications/felt fine I might squeeze in one more trip before 36 weeks but it’s personal choice. Just take the hospital bag
I would say around 36 weeks but as long as you have hospital bag and notes with you no hospital will turn you away x
I didn’t know there was a limit! I think its fine as long as you’re comfortable and stop for regular breaks x
