Any pregnant mummies traveling soon?

Are any pregnant mummies planning to travel soon? I’m traveling to BKK during my second trim - but thinking if it’s dangerous..

I am in my 2nd trim, departed sg on 29 july at 23 weeks to BKK. Am here in BKK currently when typing this! It’s generally okay, but night markets are not so convenient because it’s crowded and people may not notice your belly. I had to always walk behind my husband or hold my belly when I’m walking. The malls are safe and a lot less crowded. In bkk, there’s a xray machine at most entrances of malls, so do let the security know you’re pregnant and dont walk through it. They are okay with that. Same for airport scans. At sg airport is definitely not an issue, they will do a manual body search and use handheld scanners only at certain parts of your body. Not sure about bkk airport cause am only departing bkk on wed 3/8. Taking grab is safest, I feel. Easier to manage timing, can wait till grab is arriving then you stand to get on the grab. Trains… people dont give up seat. They have lifts at the stations now, so take the lift and don’t climb such long flights of stairs. But dont expect a seat on the train unless there are empty seats.

An update on BKK airport. They are also aware that pregnant ladies should not walk through the xray machine. So just remind the security when you are there, and they allow you to avoid the xray machine and do a manual body search instead. Do look for fast track lane for your passport check when we arrive AND depart BKK. The queue is much shorter and faster, and it gives pregnant ladies, monks, persons with disabilities, air crew, biz/first class passenger priority clearance.
