What Is The Ideal Time To Do Nuchal Translucency Test During Pregnancy?
Question: Hello doctor. I am in 12th week of pregnancy from today. I have taken dating scan & other reports. Doctor said that everything is normal. I would need to travel to my home town next week (start of my 13th Week) which will be 260 Km and need to come back after 3-4 days. Is the travel feasible now? Which mode of travel would be preferable? Train/Volvo bus/Car ?

Doctor's reply to your question above...
Brief Answer:
Yes you can travel if necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Traveling should be ideally avoided during pregnancy to prevent any complications like pain and bleeding.
However, if it is really necessary, then TRAIN journey or journey by Car is QUITE SAFE in the 13th week of pregnancy because of less jerks and comfort. So, you can travel by any of these if your pregnancy is NORMAL with fine health.
During travel, you can follow some general measures like:
- Better to prefer lower seat as much as possible.
- Try to complete most of the journey in lying either supine or lateral positions.
- Prefer homemade food, AVOID eating food supplied in train and spicy/ fatty one.
- Before traveling better to consult with your GYNECOLOGIST once for check up and take care of high altitude problem (if you are going to Hill Station Area)
- Take regular tablets (IRON, CALCIUM etc), diet etc in time during traveling also.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You can go for Nuchal translucency test any time between 12 weeks + 2-3 days to 13 weeks + 6days during pregnancy.
But in my opinion earlier is better, so you should go for the test this Saturday( 12 weeks+ 2-3 days).
Please do not get tense and do not take any stress during pregnancy because it will definetily affect your baby health.
I know some situation are avoidable and during pregnancy also you are feeling some depression( due to hormonal changes).
But better avoid all this, do meditation, yoga and divert your mind.
Please be happy and enjoy your motherhood.

Good luck.
