30 weeks and flying?

Question

Looking to go to Florida to visit my grandma one last time before baby. I’ll be 30 weeks when I am looking to go. It’s a 2.5 hour flight.  
I will of course call my doctor Monday for clearance, but has anyone been told no?

Answer

I flew at 30 weeks and it was fine. I just took a copy of my OB records with me just in case.

Answer

I flew a total of 12 hours at 31 weeks. My doctor was fine with it, told me to take aspirin the week before to prevent blood clots and to get up and walk around every hour.

Answer

I flew a few times in my pregnancy and the last time I was 35 weeks. The cutoff is 36 weeks if you have a healthy non complicated pregnancy. You should wear compression socks and get up and walk every 2 hours . As pregnancy increases the risk for blood clots .
