When is it safe to travel after delivery ?

Hi Ilites,

I am 9 weeks pregnant and I am due in Feb. I live in the US and we have decided to deliver the baby in the US since I am hypothyroid and I don't want to change the doctor. Unfortunately my mom has health issues and she cannot come here to help us out during delivery. My MIL has volunteered to come and help us out during delivery but she wants us to go back to India 15 days after delivery. I would like to know from friends here
If it is safe to fly to India with a 2 week old baby ?
Do u think I can recuperate within 2 weeks and be able to travel ?
Is it possible to manage without any help?
Please let me know.
