Hi All,
I hope everyone and their little and so not little ones are well

I have a few questions to ask..oh no! more questions from me

*Were you allowed to go on holiday?

*Where were you allowed to go to..did it have to be in the same state or could you go interstate?

*Were you allowed to fly or did you have to drive/catch a train?

*How many weeks were you and did your dr say no travelling past a certain time like 32 weeks?

The reasons im asking are:

*I would loooooove to go on a holiday.I havent been on a holiday in what feels like ages even though it was in may and i dont know when we would get one after our twins are born

*I would love to see my mum and sisters in melbourne.. plus they havent seen our ds alexi since may

*We would love to see johns dad in qld as i know he would love to see alexi again and finally introduce him to the rest of the qld part of the family like johns grandparents and on of my grandmothers

I know it probably depends on my dr but i dont see the dr for another 3 weeks so thought i would ask you marvellous multiples mums

Thanks in advance for your answers

Rhiannon

I don't see why you couldn't go on holiday if you feel fine, and your doctor says it's OK.

We were living in Germany for most of my pregnancy, and as I wasn't working I took the opportunity to take lots of holidays. I lugged a backpack around Hungary and stayed in hostels etc even though I was pregnant - and I was fine!

We flew back to Australia when I was 30 weeks, and it is just as well we left when we did, as my girls were born a couple of weeks later. So in hindsight, I would've preferred not to fly so late in pregnancy, although the doctors have said this had nothing to do with their premature birth.

You may need a doctor's certificate to fly if you look REALLY pregnant, at least I did flying internationally, not sure about domestic flights.

As long as you're feeling up to it, I think there is very little you 'can't' do while pregnant with twins!

Have fun,

Narelle

As well as whether you're up to the actual travel, an issue to consider, especially as you get further on in your pregnancy, is how you would cope if you went into labour and gave birth while you were away from home. With a multiple pregnancy there are, as you'll know, greater risks of prem labour and birth. If you were away from home and had the babies early, how would you all cope with them possibly being in a NICU away from your home area? (I know this may happen anyway if they're transferred - but it's another factor to take into account).

Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.

If you feel well enough and have the energy then do it now. You won't get as quiet a holiday again for about 20yrs.

Enjoy the relative peace while you can.

I did a fair bit of interstate travel even after going in at 22wks for a bit of trouble but travelled between 22 -29 which is when they were born.
