Can i travel in flight during 7th month pregnancy?
We have a family function in another city and it falls in my 7th month. Hubby is saying flight is fine but saas is bit worried. I plan to ask my gynac too but wanted to know real experiences first, anyone travelled by air at this stage?
Haan na, travel can be so tiring during this time. Gynac se consult karna sabse best hai, and if you travel, walk around the cabin every hour to avoid leg swelling, ho na.
According to most pregnancy trackers, the second trimester is safest, but 7th month is starting of third trimester. You will definitely need a 'fit to fly' certificate from your gynac before booking.
Having PCOS made me extra cautious about everything, so I personally avoided air travel in my third trimester. If it's urgent, please ask your doctor and take all safety precautions.
I just delivered last month and actually flew in my 7th month for my baby shower. It was fine but honestly quite tiring, so do carry your medical files and keep your doctor's number on speed dial.
I had a C-section and remember my body feeling very heavy by the 7th month. Flying can be uncomfortable, so make sure to get an aisle seat and keep your legs stretched.
If it's absolutely necessary to travel, carry home-made snacks and keep drinking warm water. But please call your gynac first because 7th month is a sensitive phase, don't take any risks.
