I am 33 weeks pregnant and so far my pregnancy is going well without any problems and i'm due on january 15, 2009. I am living in Finland for 2 years and haven't seen my family for a long time because some of the live in different countries. My home country is Philippines. My sister is getting married on March 28, 2009 and it is very important gathering for us family to be together for this very important occassion.. so my plan is to go to Philippines on march 18, 2009 and take my 2 month old baby (if i happened to give birth on my due date) with me to travel in the plane and stay in Philippines for 3 weeks max then come back again to Finland. I can't of course leave my baby here because i will be breastfeeding him and also i would miss him very much.. I have talked to my nurse about it (she's the one whos checking my pregnancy health every 2 weeks) and she said that it is okay to travel with the 2 month old baby as long as he has his vaccines.. My in laws are so against it of me going there with the baby because they said it's too young to travel that far.. The same thing they are worrying about how we have 3 big dogs and now we are expecting a baby.. It is really kinda frustrating because I really miss my family and it has been 3 years that i haven't seen them.. My husband is so supportive of me though and told them that they should give me a chance to see my family because i haven't seen them for so long.. I understand that they are just worried about the baby getting sick or something. I remember when i was in philippines and had my daughter in another city, after she was 3 weeks old i travelled by bus from that city to my city which was 8 hours of bus ride.. I just covered her in a way that she will be protected very well and somehow it worked and she didn't get sick at all, in fact she was already so good with travelling that i never heard her complain at all. So that's why i am asking all the moms opinions about this.. did you ever travel in another country with a very young baby?? and you think it is safe as long as the baby is well enough to travel and have completed his vaccinations??? I really need help!!! please post your opinion about it.. thanks!
