As for travel, the best thing is to check with the carrier (train, boat, plane) that you will be taking. Different carriers have different gestation limits for their flights/trips, so always let them know how many weeks pregnant you’ll be for the RETURN trip. Some airlines, would not accept pregnant women who are in their 7month gestation period, others, 8 months is accepted as long as it is a short flight and there is a doctor's certificate to clear her.

But most importantly, check wit your ob/gyn as each person's pregnancy is unique. So, you need to get the green light from your doctor.
Congratulations on your upcoming child! And safe travels!

There's no way any harm will come to the baby - it's extremely well protected whilst in the womb and there's nothing physically to prevent you having sex right up until the last moment.During the birth, expect her to tell you never ever to come anywhere near her with that thing ever again, but don't worry, she won't really mean it.

It is fine to have sex during pregnancy as long as your wife is ok with it, you can do it in any position but as the bump grows bigger it may become uncomfortable so you will need to experiment with the positions which suit her! Remember that if there is any abnormal bleeding you should see a doctor and not have sex until the bleeding has had medical attention. As for travelling, you need to check with your travel agent and/or airline or tour operator. Insurance provders may have to be notified too!! X
