What is the best recommendation for a primigravid client at 28 weeks who plans to travel?

The recommendation to take the trip, provided that the client makes stops every 1 to 2 hours to walk, is sound advice for a primigravid client at 28 weeks. During pregnancy, especially in the later stages, it is crucial to maintain circulation and prevent complications such as venous stasis, which can lead to deep vein thrombosis (DVT). By stopping regularly to stretch and walk, the mother can enhance blood flow and reduce the risk of discomfort and potential medical issues associated with prolonged sitting.

Moreover, by allowing time to stretch, she can also help manage common discomforts associated with travel during pregnancy, such as leg cramps and back pain. Since she is in the second trimester and still fairly early in the third, she is generally considered fit to travel, as long as appropriate precautions are taken.

Traveling during pregnancy can be safe, particularly when the traveler takes steps to ensure comfort and health. This includes staying hydrated, taking breaks, and listening to her body's signals. In this context, the emphasis on regular breaks aligns well with established recommendations for traveling safely during pregnancy.
