Has anyone ever went on a airplane for a long flight while 32 weeks pregnant?

Question

And how was it...I’m so worried about not being able to sit and feel comfortable how should I make myself comfy?

Answer

I’m 28 weeks and currently on a babymoon in Iceland. The flight wasn’t bad - I bought knee high compression socks (which was a splurge but I’m serious, made all the difference in the world because my feet didn’t swell AT ALL after the full travel day), walked to the back of the plane every hour, and drank a ton of water! 
Be sure to get a doctors note (my doc just had them at reception all ready to go) that says your fit to travel, or research the airlines policy about it. I haven’t been asked to provide mine, but better safe than sorry.

I flew earlier on with this one,  but with my middle child I flew to the UK at 34 weeks and back home at 36 weeks. My advise is to get compression stocking to wear on the plane, walk around or just stand in the small area near the bathroom a few times during the flight, ask for extra water whenever they over beverage service and try to rest.

Answer

I’ll be 32 weeks when I go to Shanghai (16 hours!). If you can get the bulkhead, that’s going to be the most comfortable. On past flights so far I prop my feet up on my bag, use compression socks, and get up. The flight attendants have been VERY nice to me while pregnant so they are there to help you if you need anything

My sister flew multiple flights but the longest was 17 hours..US to Australia at 32 weeks. Dr okayd it but she was to get up and walk every hour..no exceptions. She was tired and a little sore but baby was okay otherwise:)

Answer

I will be taking a 4 hr flight one way to Texas when I’m 33 weeks, flying back when I’m almost 34 for a work conference. My doctor isn’t concerned about me flying but did advise that I drink as much as I can, get up and walk around every hour, and wear compression socks for the swelling. 
I will be taking my medical history with me, just in case anything happens as I do have a fixed heart condition.

Answer

I haven't yet, but I will be flying back to the US from Manila when I'm 35 weeks. I got the same, compression socks, will get a docs note clearing me for travel, and walking every hour. The compression socks and walking is to help reduce the risk of dvt since that risk goes up flying when pregnant. My doc is also prescribing me something to take in case I get too uncomfortable and to help keep me relaxed. I won't be taking it unless it becomes necessary. You can talk to your doctor about it.
