Am I well-travelled, for a pregnant woman?

The first thing my mum told me when I told her that I was pregnanat was "Better scale down on all your travels!!"

However, I was told by my rather enlightened GP in UK as well as gynae in Singapore that its alright for a pregnant woman to travel as much as she wants to as long as she is not in any discomfort or has encountered any "spotting". Well, thank God, I do not fall into either category.
Medical research has also indicated that the 2nd trimester is the best time to fly as the mother-to-be feels the most "refreshed" (whatever that means).

Below is a brief record of my travels (on aeroplane) over the last 5 months:
a) from London to Amsterdam (4th- 5th week)
b) from Amsterdam to London (5th week)
c) from London to Singapore (6th week)
d) from Singapore to Hanoi (8th week)
e) from Hanoi to Singapore (8th week)
f) from Singapore to London (11th week)
g) from London to Austria (14th week)
h) from Austria to London (15th week)
i) from London to Venice (20th week)
j) from Venice to London (21st week)

Of course, I've also been travelling around UK. Took trains, long car-rides, and even sat on a small motorboat driven along the river at Henley-upon-Thames by both YL and my brother-in-law, BC!!

Well, I think I've indeed travelled quite a fair bit. However, it should be noted that these trips have often been done leisurely and are rather stress-free. Whats more, I've got YL who loves to travel and would willingly carry my heavy luggages (but actually, we often pack light)!

Our impression is that lots of pregant people in Europe fly. And lots of medical information that we've read also do not suggest any risk. The only consistent advice is to: (a) wear flight-socks when flying more than 4 hrs; (b) go for a 15 minute walk up and down the aisle per hour on the plane and (c) to drink adequate water. I myself had purchased a pair of flight socks. They do not come cheap, and cost me about GBP14 per pair!! They're pretty comfy, though.

Was also told that it might be worth getting travel insurance so that "in the worst case" scenario, the aircraft will not bill you for any emergency landing fee!

Still, my parents kept telling me to curb our travels. They are concerned that too much "hectic movements" would distress the baby or cause harm to the mother-to-be!

Well, on balance, I think that we should be, and have been responsible in assessing the various risks that we might expose ourselves to in our different trips, and then proceeding to take the necessary corresponding precautions. However, we believe that the most important thing is to pray and entrust ourselves in God.

Also, we claim God's promise in the Bible that "He who began the good work will be faithful to bring it to completion!" :)
