Patient's question:
Spending more than 20 hours on a train during the late stages of pregnancy, but traveling on a (sleeping carriage) train, could the high stress lead to preterm labor?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy should prepare and carry the necessary packages and items for newborns when taking a train. After boarding, contact the cabin crew immediately to prevent delivery or sudden birth during the train ride. The prepared packages may also come in handy at the right time. Additionally, it is generally not recommended for pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy or those close to their due date to travel. If it is unavoidable to take a train, it is advised to have family or friends accompany you. There is a possibility of premature birth on the train, so it is recommended to be prepared. In case of premature birth, you will be ready for it. I hope this helps, and wish you good health!
