    It really depends on various factors like how far into the pregnancy she is (travel when you’re 2 months in is vastly different to travel when you’re 8 months in), how urgent the need to travel is (traveling to go to an anime convention is vasly less urgent than traveling to lay your mom to rest), how far you’re traveling (a weekend saunter to the next town over is different than traveling half way around the globe (which it sounds like she did)), whether the doctor overseeing your care says its okay, and other stuff.
