I'm 21 weeks pregnant, and I was wondering if it's safe to travel by train for about an hour. Also, is going by car a good option or safer? Anxious to know your thoughts on this.

At 21 weeks pregnant, short train or car journeys (like one hour) are generally safe, as long as you're comfortable and take breaks to move around. Ensure you stay hydrated and avoid sitting for too long. If you have any complications or concerns, it's best to consult your doctor beforehand.
