Travelling by train is not safe for woman who is on 35 week

I am going to a native place by train for a 10 hours journey. I wonder if it is safe for me because i am on 35th week of pregnancy, and what pregcautions i need to take?

Once i have seen such a question -

I am going to a native place by train for a 10 hours journey. I wonder if it is safe for me because i am on 35th week of pregnancy, and what pregcautions i need to take?

And here are the answers of this question - we can know that it is not safe for this woman to have the travel.

1.I wouldn't chance it. You are 35 weeks which means you can go into labor at anytime. In those 12 hours you could have your baby on the train and at 35 weeks your babies lungs are not all the way developed. I wouldn't do it. You should call your dr and see what they say most Dr's wont advise it because you are so close to you due date.
2.I would not go. You might go into labor while on the train or you might go into labor while you are at your destination (and far from your doctor/hospital).
3.If this trip isn't necessary, you should try to put it off until after the baby comes. Have you spoken to your doctor about this? 12 hours is a long time to be sitting. If it is necessary, be sure to drink plenty of water and have your feet elevated, propped up on your luggage or another seat. This will help to reduce the occurrence of edema (swelling) in your feet and ankles. Get up and walk around as much as possible. Much luck!

So many moms say that if it is not necessary, she should cancel this travel. For most of all, safe us the most important for a woman in 35th week of pregnancy!
