Answer

I'm flying! All throughout my pregnancy actually starting at 16 weeks) 
I'm not worried- I think you'll be fine too! Keep super hydrated (even BEFORE your trip starts) I've also added compression socks to my travel accessories bag! I've packed a ton of snacks ( I'm also a picky eater) a good book and earplugs! Oh and comfortable clothes! I usually like to wear flowy dresses with leggings(if it's cold) 
Happy travels! You'll be fine!!

Im taking a 6 hour flight to California from Texas for my sister's baby shower. I'll be 15 weeks. I plan to dress comfortably, get the biggest water bottle I can find, and make sure I have something to eat along the way. So basically how I always travel lol.

Answer

I'll be flying for a nonstop 6.5 hour flight at 14 weeks and then back home at 15 weeks. It's a red eye, so I'm hoping I can just drink water and sleep. Although, I'm sure that's wishful thinking.

My husband and I flew a 9 hour flight at 8 weeks (11 now) and the whole trip there took 14 hours it was ok just get up to use the bathroom and never let the snack/drink cart sneak by without grabbing something! Hah! The worst part was I have been on progesterone suppositories so being it took over 12 hours meant I had to take it on the plane hah!  But over all it went well stay hydrated and try to relax and move around when you can

I flew to Hawaii from msp and back at around 7weeks. It was about 9 hours one way. I drank tons of water-brought my own big bottle and always snagged water from the beverage cart. I brought Snacks and got up to walk around to the bathroom etc. I won't lie I was not comfortable my any means. The altitude change affected me much more then normal so I had a terrible headache and the bloat was much worse on the plane probably also from altitude change. But it was certainly not terrible. Wear comfy clothes if possible. Yoga pants or leggings something stretchy.

My last pregnancy we travelled from the uk to Australia - 23 hour flight. I was 24+6 going there and return I was 27+6 weeks.
I'm not going to lie it was exhausting but it is a very longer flight. I made sure I had plenty of fluids and walked around the plane as often as possible. I was quite big for gestation as well as it was my third baby and he was very big at birth.

Answer

I fly multiple times a month for work. The biggest thing is to stay hydrated and eat. I tend to not want to eat or drink when I fly and have to force myself. For a flight that long, you will need to get up and walk around a lot

Answer

I'm flying at 13 weeks this week and will just stay hydrated and try to relax. My dr dos not seem concerned at all.

Answer

I'm flying at 16 weeks. I am very afraid of flying to begin with so being pregnant is just making me more anxious. I plan on doing as others said and having some relaxing music to listen too as well as download some movies. Ugh. Not looking forward to it.

Answer

Flying alone from Amsterdam to Nebraska in 3 weeks time when I'll be 13 weeks. Not nervous at all. It is going to be a 16hr trip but I'm sure it will be just as boring as usual. Just buy a big bottle of water past security to bring on your flight as flight attendants don't always come by as often with fresh drinks.
