Being asked to travel for a large training at 35 weeks pregnant. Should I do it? I’m vaccinated but worried about breakthrough infections.

I’ll be traveling 2 days before I’m eligible for a booster.

I wouldn’t worry about COVID, I would worry about being stranded in a foreign city and go into early labor.

Psh I didn’t travel at 35 weeks pregnant even pre COVID. Hard no

Ya agree with others. Covid or no covid, I wouldn't be traveling at 35wks pregnant. Currently 36wks and it's a struggle just to get out of bed.

If you’re comfortable giving birth in that city, go for it!

It sounds like you know you don't want to travel, the question is what options are available for you to decline?

like

I would pass given it’s so close to delivery and even a breakthrough would be tough so late in the game.

Not even related to COVID but I wouldn’t want to fly that late in pregnancy.

Where are you located and how far/long is the travel? Airlines typically have policies for flying after 36 weeks or 28 in some cases and you may need a note from your doctor so I’d personally not want to get too close to that regardless of covid. Adding on any unknowns due to covid, I’d pass but it’s up to your judgment and what you want to do.

No. What if you go into early labor?

I traveled until 36 weeks pre covid 🤷🏼‍♀️

Don’t do it if you don’t want to

How about calling your doctor and getting a doctors note not to travel?

Thanks all - I can delay until after pregnancy but then I’d be doing the same thing with a newborn

I would do it after mat leave, but a 12 week old is still a newborn in my book. I’m not going to want to do a full-time training + work a full-time case + travel with Covid concerns with a 12-week old.

No virtual options.

Going back to work Jan 4 and my 3 month old won’t take a bottle. We’ve tried since she was 1.5 months and she just holds the bottle nipple in her mouth but she doesn’t suck.

For now, I’m ok with breastfeeding while working, but just in case with meetings and whatnot, it’d just be awesome if my husband could feed her.

Any advice? Is it possible to get baby on a feeding schedule that I could just put on my Google calendar as “pumping” time?
