All depends on how you think you will cope as its a family thing it WILL be past the baby around and lotand lot of advise so if thats not your cup of tea then I would give it a miss.

I traveled with DS when he was 3 weeks old from sydney to melb he went well in the car just lots of feeding stops, but as Kim said not all babies are good travelers

what happens if you are past due date you havent got much time on your side as if you were 2 weeks late then you will be having a very young baby with you and I dont think I would like to take a week old on a trip as your milk will be only just comming in.

Go and ask your midwife what she thinks of the idea she might be able to give you an idea. find out how long over they let you go as up here they let you go 3 weeks!!!!!!

If I was you I would just play it by ear if baba comes when its ment to then see how you feel at the time as you may not be up to it or you might feel great a really want to go a show off your new baby.

good luck
