i’m 15 week pregnant my delivery date is 11th july
my bil is getting married this year in pakistan, between september and december
my baby would be 2 to 5 month old, i want to go to pakistan, but i just went once there i got ill myself, i think it would happen again, so what would you do, would you take the risk of getting ill or would you say i’ll listen to the bla bla of the relatives and stay at home
i’m not sure what to do

last time when i went to pak i had have injunctions but it didn't help
i did just use mineral waterbought from the shops
but the food there was not the right thing for me
what if i go but get ill and cant take care of my baby
Re: would you go to pakistan????
Many things to consider here. First, x-rays which would be concerning if you have not yet delivered your baby. Next is the consequence of illness with an un-vaccinated newborn baby. In the summer months, there is a surge of mosquito-borne disease for which I think your baby would be too young to get vaccinated against. These illnesses may be easy for most to fight off but for an infant under 6 months of age, the consequences can be dramatic.
Definitely not"bla bla" but rather good advice your relatives give when they tell you to stay home. Its not what you want to hear maybe but once you have little ones, your needs and wants are so much less important than the needs and wants of your baby.
Me? I'd not take the chance. But if you still want to go, talk to your pediatrician.
i did not meant their advise by bla bla, but that they would say why i didn't come, like my nand goes to pak every year she would it's easy to go pak
i talked to her and she said: lo, nayi baat sunlo
but i'm not used to the food and air of pak
i didn't not say i want to go in any case
Re: would you go to pakistan????
first of all congo for your pregnanchy and may u have a safe delivery...!!=)
...and come on it's just pakistan...nothing will happen to you or your baby inshallah....!!
...just drink mineral water and stay away from food from outside and inshallah you will be fine and am sure your hubby will be there to help you out etc as well...!!
Dont go for the safety of the baby and yours!
I think you should be careful of what you eat/drink there. Take medicince with you that you need. The time you are going isn't as bad. Its summers over there that is harsh. I think you will be fine. Just make sure you have everything in your room you need there. Good luck!
