We have a family wedding next month and Ill be around 20 weeks then. Booking ke pehle I wanted to know if flying is okay at this stage. Pls share if any of u travelled by flight during pregnancy, how was it?
Please be extremely careful and avoid it if it’s not absolutely necessary, especially in the 1st trimester. After going through a painful miscarriage earlier, I decided not to take any chances at all during my next pregnancy. Do consult your doctor and get a green signal first.
Actually flight travel is super chill in the 2nd trimester, yaar. I travelled from Mumbai to Delhi in my 5th month and it was totally smooth. Just pre-book an aisle seat so u can access the washroom easily, and keep your doc in loop.
Haan yaar, second trimester me toh flight travel safely kar sakte hai na, but always ask your gynac first. Last trimester me flights allow nahi karti airlines due to delivery risk. Safe side check karwa ke hi tickets book karna.
Generally travel is safest in second trimester between 14 to 28 weeks. My gynac specifically said to carry a fit-to-fly certificate if crossing 28 weeks, and wear compression socks to avoid blood clots. Always drink plenty of water and walk in the aisle every hour.
Beta, flight travel avoid karo toh accha hai pehle aur aakhri mahino me. Bahut pressure and radiation ka darr hota hai bade kehte hai. Agar urgency ho toh doc se zarur poochna, aur travel ke baad coconut water and light food hi lena digestion theek rakhne ke liye.
Flights are fine but long sitting hours make your body stiff. If your doctor allows physical activity, keep stretching your calves even while seated. I used to do light ankle rotations and mild stretches during flight to keep circulation smooth.
