400 miles at 38 weeks - feasible?

[AlteredCarbon]

Hi everyone, I am currently 36 weeks into my first pregnancy. I am 29 and have been in good health throughout with the only issue being very low blood pressure. I will be spending Christmas at home in Lincolnshire with my family but it has been planned that we will spend new year with DH's family in a house they have hired in a small village in the north of Scotland. I don't want to ruin all their plans but am beginning to wonder how realistic this is.

Am I crazy to be contemplating a 400 mile journey at 38 weeks pregnant? I've heard that first babies are usually late and we plan to travel back home by my due date (which would be another 400 mile drive at 39 weeks) Any advice or experience would be gratefully received.
Thank you

My experience mirrors Indigo - twice over. What is fine at 36 is not at
38!

I'm pretty sure the midwife will say no to either trip, with the caveat that it's up to you of course.

And btw, who in their right mind pressurises a heavily pregnant woman to travel hundreds of miles for a social visit. Seriously, I wonder what goes through people's heads. If you were my daughter/DIL, I'd honestly want you safely at home, ready to head to hospital if anything happens.

I'm with Bedtime on this. Astonishing that they're persuading you to travel so far even at 36 weeks. But v glad you've put the stoppers on travelling so far at 38. I'm 38 weeks now and the very thought gives me the shivers!!
