Have a flight next week and im 5 months along. Got a little tension about walking through those security scanners, will it affect the baccha in any way? Pls tell me if u travelled while pregnant.
I had a very high-risk pregnancy with multiple complications, so I was terrified of everything. To be absolutely safe, I asked my doctor for a fitness-to-fly certificate and explicitly asked the airport staff for a manual pat-down instead of going through the scanner. Please ask your gynac first.
Airport scanners are fine, but why take any tension? Just tell the female security staff "I am pregnant" and they will gladly do a manual check instead. It takes two minutes and saves you from unnecessary worry ghar pe.
Yes dear, the walk-through metal detectors are completely safe for pregnant ladies as they don't use harmful radiation. But if it makes you anxious, you have the full right to opt out. Just request the security lady for a physical scan, they are very helpful with this.
I had to travel in my second trimester and I felt so nervous looking at that big scanner machine. Even though they said it's safe, I felt a strong instinct to just ask for a manual pat-down instead. The staff was super sweet and did it quickly, which made me feel so much better.
Yes, they are safe, but carry two babies in your belly and you'll want to avoid any extra standing in lines anyway! Honestly, the metal detectors use low magnetic fields, not X-rays, so don't worry. But you can always ask for a physical pat-down if you want to skip the scan.
My doctor at Cloudnine clearly told me that standard airport security scanners don't pose any risk to the fetus. Still, she advised me to carry my pregnancy reports and ask the airport staff for a manual search if I felt uncomfortable. Always get a clear go-ahead from your hospital before traveling.
