TTC..bumpy rides....and Grandma

Soo like some of u might know..m we have green signal for ttc… Now my grandmother was tellin me that i shouldn’t travel to much… And specially not on the ‘pahari ilakey’ cuz that can loosen everythin nmay effect the start of pregnancy…or even implant…

My sis is a doc and she says its rubbish and not to believe it…but granny had given some examples of ppl who had somethin like this…

So my question s…how serious should i take this?.. I mean pk s bumpy overall… So i shouldn’t travel?.. Or is it just another myth?

Help :frowning:

Why wouldn’t u believe your sister? Dnt let the old wives tales scare you

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

Cuz i believe there can b some truth in their stories/ tales…but i dunno if this should be taken into account…

Should i wait for ttc till we get back from pk?

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

well depends on where you are travelling. if you are within cities then I don’t believe it is an issue. Otherwise, doesn’t hurt to be careful

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

unless you are climbing mount Everest on foot, there is nothing to worry about for implantation in the uterus.

It’s a good idea to take it easy for the first 8-10 weeks with strenuous exercise or heavy lifting all of that is AFTER implantation. Exercise does not effect implantation in any way. If you are upright or hanging upside down, it will happen.

Start with your prenatal, folic acid, charting out ovulation dates that’s more important for ttc, Otherwise live your life.

Thanks ladies!!

Granny told me as soon as i start i should b carefull with long safar etc :bummer:

@demesne… We r planning to go from karachi to lahore…gujranwala…lalamusa mirpur n marri…n specially on tge way to mirpur it can b bumpy etc;/

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

^karachi to lahore by road???
this can be done but you need to take breaks…you wont be able to sit for that long in car…

for murree same…take rest like after an hour of walk…
my cousin was 5months preggers and she pretty much walked throughout in murree BUT with breaks,she took rest…drank water…juices,ate something…

consult your doctor to be on safe side!

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

Is it a leisure trip? why not wait and go once baby has arrived,just to be on the safer side. My 2 cents :slight_smile:

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

Yeah we r r planning a tour… And there deffinatly will b some breaks betweenbthe rides… Thanks:D

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

My sis is getting married inshallah so we have to go… Plz pray for me that i conceive …

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

traveling with a baby, u gotta be kidding, it is better to go on such a road trip without babies.

well anyway, you are NOT even pregnant yet, hellloooooooo! go on the trip and have fun. I was pregnant with a baby in pak on these bumpy roads and nothing happened.

^^ thanks Saadia B…
Do remember me in ur prayers :slight_smile:

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

If it’s relevant, the day i had an embryo transfered to me, we asked the nurse and doc if i should go home and lay down and stay on the bed for a few days. She told me that i could jump on a trampoline all day and it wouldn’t fall out. You just have to make sure your body temperture doesn’t go high, like a fever or strenuous exercise.

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

Aah thanks KS09!!! That is really helpfull :slight_smile: may allah bless everyone with a healthy baby (ameen)

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

The road from Karachi to Lahore is super messed up now. I would recommend listening to granny on this count then. You haven’t seen messed up roads till you see those in Pakistan. We have a very loose definition of “road”

Re: TTC..bumpy rides…and Grandma

Is it?? :s i havnt done the journey ever by car… ALways by air… Lets hope that things go well n that i do conceive :confused: will take extra care inshallah

Thanks demesne :slight_smile:
