You can travel after the TIFFA scan is done at 20 weeks.Once everything is normal in TIFFA scan and the placenta is fundal ,you can travel in your own vehicle slowly taking small breaks in between. While sitting at one place in the car for a long time you should wear compression stockings in your legs.Also it should be ensured that it is not a jerky journey. Try to travel in the earlysecond trimester and not towards the end of it
