Can i have travel for flight in 5th month pregnancy?

Question

We have a family wedding coming up and its a 3 hour flight. Im in my 5th month now and feeling fine, but my MIL keeps saying flight thik nahi hai for the baby. Anyone travelled by plane around this time? Just want to know its safe before I book.

It is generally fine to fly during this time as the second trimester is quite comfortable. Just keep your gynac in loop and don't take any stress, everything will go smoothly. Have a safe journey!

I actually had to fly to my mom's place in my 5th month and I felt so nervous. Honestly, my heart was racing when the plane took off, but I had taken my doc's permission. Just make sure u keep hydrating and walk a bit in the aisle, it really helped me feel better.

Honestly, please do not rely on anyone's advice other than your own gynac for this. Every pregnancy is different and only your doctor can check your cervix and scan report to confirm if flying is safe for u. Pls take a proper fitness certificate from them before booking tickets.

Please be very careful before deciding to travel. Since I've had a loss before, I am always extra cautious and honestly, I would suggest avoiding long flights if it's not super urgent. Even if your gynac says yes, make sure there are good hospitals nearby wherever u are landing.

I am not a mom yet but we are trying to conceive and I was actually reading up on this. My bhabhi also traveled in her 5th month and she had a very comfortable flight. She just carried a pillow for back support and some light snacks, maybe u can try that too.

Haan, 5th month toh quite safe hota hai travel ke liye, mostly second trimester me normal hi hai na. Bass flights me flight crew ko extreme care ke liye pehle hi bol dena. Zyada heavy bags mat uthana aur flight me comfortable seats book karna, thik hai?
