Long flight on third trimester?

Question

Has anyone flew overseas on their third trimester? Is it safe? Any advice?
I’m planning on going to visit my family on the other side of the world on Christmas and I’m considering if it’s better to fly now while I’m pregnant (28-29 weeks) or wait till next Christmas when my baby is already about 10 months. I’m kinda weighing the safety and convenience of both and would like to hear others insight about it.

Answer

If it's a question of either or... Would your family not sooner want to see your child at Christmas time next year?

Answer

I’ll be flying back to the USA from England when I’m around 31 weeks. My doctor said it’s perfectly fine until you’re 36 weeks!

Answer

Hmm, I probably wouldn't personally do it. However, make sure you check with the airlines policy. Even if your doc clears you, many airlines have strict policies about flying in the 3rd trimester. Some will let you fly up until 36 weeks, some won't. So just double check!

Answer

No overseas you can’t fly after 25 weeks I think is what my OBGYN told me (it’s been a while) but you can fly in states your entire pregnancy
