When did you stop travelling long distances for work? Advice please!

[firstimer30s]

I'm currently travelling for work a few times a week on 3 hour train journeys each way (so 6 hours each day I'm traveling)
I'm nearly 30 weeks...when do you think I should stop? Basically don't want to give birth on a train!
If anyone has had experience of travel when pg would love some advice!

Haven't any experience but know that I wouldn't enjoy it! Around 32 weeks I started to get uncomfortable in one position for a long time, but its down to you and how you feel. If you can get up and move around and are happy on the journey no need to stop until I guess you get to term,when you'll probably not want to be away from home for so long.

I may be wrong, but I've read somewhere that pregnant women are entitled to a free first-class upgrade after a certain amount of weeks. Certainly worth looking into.

36 weeks for me before stopping work at 38 weeks but I did feel fine. You need to think about how it's making you feel.

I've just been signed off at 32 weeks because I've had too many long journeys for work. My normal commute is 4 hours a day, and I've been doing additional trips on top of that.

I have had really painful ribs though. I would have carried on longer otherwise.

I have a 3 min drive to work and if I was 15 min. I'm struggling with that how an earth you are coping with 6 round trip a few times a week is beyond me. Like one of the other ladies suggested see about getting updated to first class. Is there any way you could work from home.

If I walk that was meant to say sorry

37 weeks for me. I was catching the Eurostar twice a week until that point. I would have gone further but nobody would insure me.

I managed to get upgraded for my last few eurostar trips, that was very nice!

Ooh free upgrades? Will definitely look into that!
Yes it's actually huge sitting for so long that is the hardest as my ribs get sore. Thanks for the advice ladies...reaffirms my gut feel which is that I'll go till about 35 at most and then stop.

Here it is: free upgrades on First Anglia. Sadly not my train operator but may be useful for others www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/pr1fd1b33e9641ccbb04be04f8302973.aspx

I travelled only first when working. It was wonderful. I missed the free champagne and cheese board when pregnant. :)

I commuted (bike, tube, train, total journey time each way an hour to an hour and a half) until I was 39 weeks. I don't regret it - it was the main factor in having an active pregnancy left to my own devices I binge eat cake in bed. BUT, I was within easy reach of my partner if I went into labour, he could get to me in a cab in an hour, and we needed the money. If we were wealthier, maternity leave at 36 weeks would have been bliss.
