  • You can drive that far but you have to stop and take frequent breaks. I would just double check with your doctor though too. Where in Ohio are you and where in Wyoming is he?
  • Are you driving to visit or going there to have your baby? My doc has told me if you need to do a long drive take lots of breaks to stretch your legs and if you are not driving keep your legs propped up. If you can maybe stop halfway and rest
  • Check with your Dr first to get the ok. Also stop at least every couple of hours so you can walk around to prevent blood clotting in ur legs.
  • Ok thts wat I thought..my moms tellin me I cant n I know I can as long as im nt 36wks n I stretch n walk around every 60-120mins. Im goin to work my marriage out..and to have our little family together..n I want him to b there for her birth. Im in beavercreek oh n hes in cheyenne wy..@headersue @leslow @BeautifulOne
  • If you have problems with your feet swelling you might want to think about support hose or socks. My feet and ankles swell even on short trips.
  • It's possible, but just to warn you it won't be pleasant. Me and my bf drove 7 hrs to Indiana last weekend and I'm 32 wks. We stopped 3 times each way but my legs, butt and back still hurt so bad. I got real bad leg cramps too. Oh man I can't imagine going for 19 hrs. Are you driving yourself??
  • @SaraS I dont rly swell..so thts good n @starrxoxo9 I plan at stopping alot..n ya by myself..i cant afford to bring neone w me..
  • Well good luck you are brave!! Make sure u keep a cell phone charger in your car!! And get your medical records to take with you.
  • ;) Good for you hun! Go get your man!!! *fist pump* lol
  • May I ask why you guys are in diiferent states?
  • We are taking two 24+ hr drives (TX to CA and back) in the next month and I am 28 weeks. (I'll be 28.5 and 30.5 weeks) and doc said to get support hose. I found some that are Dr. Scholls at walmart. They are diabetic and circulaton socks. And she said to walk 10 min every 2 hrs... and actually walk not just stand... Check with your doctor and make sure all is well before you leave too.
  • I'm flying to Hawaii and I'm 34weeks tomorrow.
  • I live in Dayton! And I visit my sister in Cheyenne every few months! Actually we are going to be moving there when I am done with school!
  • I just finished a 15 hr drive.. OK to AZ.... take lots of breaks! Drink lots of water.. and make lil sandwiches..... and carry powerade with you.... I wish you the best of luck :)
