Graco Nautilus Car Seat - Traveling With "a Bump" And/or Small Children

Traveling pregnant is simply a warm-up exercise for your life for the next few years

. It is a peek into your future living with a two to five year old. You will know the location of every restroom along your route! Then there is the irritability - being bothered by everything, not limited to whining, crankiness, and cravings. And is there actually space for all of the things you have to bring, much less for the actual people in the car?

Seriously - if you must travel during a pregnancy, be sure to do it while in the 2nd trimester, when you're past the distress of the first, but before you have grown large in those final weeks near to the baby's due date. Make sure there is sufficient room to be at ease in the passenger seats, particularly if you will be driving. Keep your medical info conveniently at hand, determine where the local hospitals are along your route, and stay out of dangerous areas.

Pack lots of more snacks - finger foods and little drink containers. Experience tells me to recommend water as the beverage of choice - it tastes the same whether it's warm or cold, and it doesn't spoil. If it spills (and it will!) water doesn't stain or leave a sticky smelly residue that requires an immediate roadside stop for a complete change of clothes.

Snacks? Cheerios (the original kind) are every mom's greatest friend -they are not sticky or way too sweet (inviting nausea) and they are not so salty that they need to be rinsed down with lots of liquid (prompting more potty pitstops). GET OUT Of the Vehicle for meals - everybody desires to stretch once in a while for comfort and safety, and you need some civilization as you dine, even if it is just fast food burgers.

Remember, too, that your pregnant self may recoil in horror from stuff that other individuals might see completely pleasant. When my wife was ten weeks pregnant with our first kid, we traveled to Florida to visit relatives and the Super Bowl. We were eating sushi that came by on platter after platter (no raw fish, not that I was precisely craving it) when she began to be sick. After that, every little thing associated to the sea - water, waves, you name it - made her nauseous. What a trip that turned out to be!

Traveling with a toddler when you are expecting a second baby is horrible. Our advice is: "Don't. It will just be exhausting." My vice president's wife explained to me one day, "Did you ever notice how helpful strangers could be when you are pregnant - 'Oh, let me get that door for you!' - versus how unaccomodating they are when you are pregnant and have a kid?" She will never forget staggering to the back of an airplane with a diaper bag swinging from her shoulder, trying not to whack anybody, at the same time holding her tiny daughter's hand and struggling a large car seat that didn't fit front-ways in the aisle.
