Thank you Diane for your reply, it makes me feel much more calm. I think going away will be breath of fresh air after those stressful weeks

When I was 6 weeks pregnant we went on holiday to Scotland by car from Norfolk!! We were in the car for 14 hours. We had a lot of stops for toilet breaks, drinks and food and I was fine

Relax and enjoy!!

I'm now 23 weeks pregnant and have flown twice since my car journey too.

All is good!!
