I have to travel for a family function next month and ill be around 24 weeks by then. Thoda tension ho raha hai about taking a flight in this condition. Anyone travelled by air during pregnancy, how was it?
I traveled last month mainly because I wanted to visit my mom's place for some authentic homemade sweets and pickles! It was totally safe for me, but I kept munching on lemon candies to prevent motion sickness during the flight. Just ask your doc once and carry your favourite snacks along!
Since I had an IVF pregnancy, we decided to be extremely careful and avoided all flights completely during the first trimester. Your body has gone through so much, so even if flights are technically safe, always consult your specialist. Your peace of mind and baby's safety are the absolute priorities.
Having PCOS, my pregnancy was a bit delicate from the start, so I was super cautious. My doctor told me to strictly avoid flight travel in the first trimester to avoid any unnecessary risks. If you really have to travel, please let your doctor do a quick scan to make sure everything is stable first.
I traveled by flight in my second trimester just a few months back and it went very smoothly. The crew was super helpful with luggage and gave me extra water. Just remember to wear comfortable shoes and loose clothes, and get a checkup done right before you go.
Yes, it is generally safe till 36 weeks if your pregnancy is uncomplicated. But make sure u carry a doctor's fit-to-fly certificate because airlines ask for it. Keep walking in the aisle every hour to avoid leg swelling and stay hydrated.
