We have a family wedding next month and it needs a flight. Im in my 5th month now and feeling fine mostly. Did anyone fly around this time? thoda nervous about it.
Hey, don't stress too much about flying! The second trimester is actually the best time to travel, just get a quick checkup and a fit-to-fly certificate from your gynac before booking your tickets.
Because of my PCOS history, I was extra cautious about everything and avoided long flights. If your doctor gives you the green light after checking your scans, it's safe, but do take it easy and rest.
Beta, while modern doctors say it's safe to fly in the second trimester, I always suggest avoiding unnecessary travel if possible. If you must travel, drink coconut water to stay hydrated and take a walk every hour.
In my experience, flying during the second trimester is quite comfortable. I flew at 20 weeks after checking with my doctor, just make sure you wear comfortable shoes and stay well-hydrated.
