Im in 5th month and have a flight planned for a family function. Thoda scared hu if its okay to fly right now. Anyone travelled by air during pregnancy, how was your experience?
My family was very hesitant about me flying, as they believed in complete rest at home. However, my doctor reassured me that flying is safe until 36 weeks for uncomplicated pregnancies. I took her advice, got my medical certificate, and had a very comfortable journey.
Yes, air travel is generally safe, especially during the second trimester. Just talk to your doctor once to make sure everything is fine before you book your tickets.
Yes, you can fly, baby won't pop out mid-air, don't worry! Just get a green signal from your gynac and wear super comfortable shoes. And yes, make your husband carry all the heavy bags, you just sit back and relax!
Traveling with twins in my belly felt like carrying a heavy suitcase, but I did travel once by air in my 4th month! Keep moving your legs during the flight to avoid cramps, and secure the seatbelt below your bump. Trust me, travel now because once babies come, peaceful flights are a myth, haha!
Humare yahan toh log bolte hain safar se bachna chahiye, par aajkal sab flight se jaate hi hain. Bas aap apne doctor se puch lo ek baar aur flight mein thoda garam pani peete rehna. Safar sukhad ho aapka!
Air travel is usually very safe in the middle months, but you must consult your gynac first. Since I had thyroid issues, my doctor ran some quick tests before giving me a fit-to-fly certificate. Make sure you don't skip your routine checkups before traveling.
Currently in my 3rd trimester and I can barely travel from my bed to the fridge, haha! But air travel in the 2nd trimester is actually the best time if your doctor permits. Just drink lots of water and ask for an aisle seat for those infinite bathroom trips!
