We have a family wedding next month and it needs a 3 hour flight. Im in my 5th month right now. My husband is worried about travelling, is flying ok at this stage? pls share if you have done it.
Depends a lot on your case honestly. I had some complications so my doctor advised against flying in certain weeks. So please dont just go by general advice, ask your own gynac first, they know your history.
I flew for work till about my 7th month, it was totally fine. Second trimester is the most comfortable time to travel. Just get up and walk a bit, stay hydrated, and carry your reports. Do confirm with your doctor and check the airline cutoff date too.
Yes its safe in a normal pregnancy, especially mid pregnancy. Most airlines have rules after around 28-36 weeks so check that. Wear comfy clothes, move your legs during the flight to avoid swelling. I traveled both times no problem.
My sister flew to her in laws place in her sixth month and was perfectly fine. Just carry water, walk little bit and take your papers. Once doctor says okay, no need to fear.
For most normal pregnancies flying is considered safe up to around 36 weeks. I asked my hospital and they even gave me a fit to fly letter for later weeks. So clear it with your gynac, get any required letter, and you are good to go.
