Traveling while pregnant? Yay or nay?

Question

I’m not sure where to post this! My husband and I are TTC but I’m going to Australia in a few months with my sister (I’m so excited!) it’s about 24 hours of traveling and I’m not sure if we should put TTC on hold until after our trip or not worry about it and just keep BD? Thanks in advance 💕

Answer

I had a rough 3 weeks during my first trimester and I traveled from FL to CA. Also went to Disney World during morning sickness span and wanted to die from exhaustion and puking! I have a trip planned at 31 weeks to CT before I can’t travel anymore. It honestly depends on how well you handle pregnancy. I had to make sure to get seats near the restroom on planes and being hydrated, also walking/moving every two hours. Pack snacks too!

Answer

I had to travel 3x during my pregnancy and hated each trip. I've decided that I never want to fly again during pregnancy if I can avoid it. But I would definitely say everyone's different. Be sure to get compression socks for air travel. My feet swelled terribly when we traveled and I wish I knew about compression socks earlier.

Answer

everyone’s different flying. i’m a flight attendant so fly a lot but haven’t had a good experience flying. as long as you feel good.. just drink A LOT of water and make sure to eat. I personally get sick on the plane so you can try sea bracelets or ginger drops, etc. make sure to get up every hour to keep your blood flowing so no clots occur, you can stand in the back an stretch just let the flight attendants know. and if you’re drinking enough, you should use the bathroom every two hours so an aisle seat might be the best thing for you.

Answer

Depends on how far along you are or how you think you’ll feel. I planned out a 2 week vacation (5-6 hour plane ride) 8 months before I got pregnant so I didn’t know I would be yet. I was 15-17 weeks at the time of the vacation and absolutely miserable. I was exhausted and still vomiting within minutes after eating multiple times a day. If I had known I’d be pregnant I would’ve never planned it out 😂

Answer

I’ve traveled numerous times with my two previous pregnancies with no problems. I am pregnant with third and was actually in Europe skiing in the French Alpes and had no idea I was eight days late till the day we were leaving. Was shocked as I felt fine. I don’t have really bad first trimesters so it’s not an issue for me. Hard to know how you’ll react.

Answer

Everyone reacts to pregnancy different but I have a number of long-haul trips this summer and my OB isn’t worried a bit. Just have to schedule my appointments for when I’m in the states. As long as you’re feeling good, go for it! I’m almost 7w and feel miserable and am so thankful I don’t travel again for a couple of months! This summer should be a breeze!
