My husband is posted abroad and im thinking of flying to join him, im currently in my second trimester. A bit nervous about the long flight and managing things in a new country. Anyone travelled out of india while pregnant, how was it?
It is doable but really depends on your pregnancy being low risk. Most airlines have rules near the due date too, so check that. Please get your doctor to clear you before booking anything.
When we planned a Dubai trip, I asked my doctor and her staff exactly what week was safe and what to avoid. They gave me a letter and a list of precautions. I would say talk to your hospital clearly before deciding, they know your case.
One thing people forget, medical costs abroad are crazy expensive, so get proper travel insurance that covers pregnancy. Also keep copies of all your reports. Check with your gynac on timing and you should be set.
Mine was a slightly risky pregnancy so my doctor advised against long flights, every case is different. Dont go just on what others did. Please get specific clearance from your own gynac first.
I travelled abroad for work in my second trimester, that mid phase is usually the most comfortable to fly. Get a fit-to-fly note from your gynac and sort travel insurance that covers pregnancy. Also carry your reports just in case.
