Long distance flights safe at six months?

Question

My sister has offered for me to travel to England when I'll be roughly 6 months in July, from Australia. Which means a 10 hour flight and a 14 hour flight. 
I'm already anxious at the thought​ of something going wrong. 
My 12 week scan so far shows everything is ok (apart from not finding the nasal bone). 
Apart from being uncomfortable, what are the risks? From what I've found there's no correlation between flights and miscarriage and shouldn't be linked. 
Has anyone known someone to miscarriage at six months?

Answer

You'll be totally fine! Just make sure to get up and walk a bit every hour or two to help your circulation.

Answer

I flew uk to toronto and back around that time and it was fine, my dr recommended to wear compression socks and take a baby aspirin at the beginning of the flight as you are higher risk for blood clots while pregnant and this will help prevent them.

Answer

Perfectly fine :) I did it with my first son :)

Answer

I flew from the UK to Thailand at 23 weeks 3 days. The flight was 14 hours long. In fact, I was on two 7-hr flights with a 4-hour stop over at Abu Dhabi airport.

Everything was fine, apart from extreme discomfort. I wore compression socks the whole time so my legs didn't swell much. And no problem with DVT either. But I sweated so much. I couldn't wait to take a shower. And my tailbone hurt like hell from sitting for so many hours 😱😭😩

Answer

It's because during pregnancy you already have a higher risk of DVT, that risk increases during a long haul flight.

As long as you wear compression socks and walk around every hour or more, you would be fine.

On another note, some airlines won't let you fly after a certain number of weeks. Others will let you if you have a doctors note saying that you're healthy enough to fly.

Double check with the airline you'd be using before booking any flights because they can just refuse to let you fly when you get there.

Answer

Askn ur ob. I am 27 weeks and didn't want to go over seas. My husband went by him self. I was afraid to risk it.
