Tips for airplane comfort?

Question

I'll be 21 weeks when I fly to California on Tuesday. It's about a five hour flight and I already find myself very uncomfortable sitting for an hour or so. Is there anything I can do that will make travel easier?

Answer

I fly often and would recommend that you drink of water (really drink a lot before, during and after) stretch before you board, walk the aisle and if the back galley is not occupied stretch standing back there (the flight attendants don't mind). Eat easy to digest carbs not heavy proteins, wear easily removable shoes and thick sock that way you can ditch your shoes before take off (make sure you shoes are not too tight as your feet may swell during flight). Stay away from the sugary and high sodium drinks offered: drink water. Good luck, happy travels.

Answer

I live in Cali and I actually work at the airport and what I see a lot of pregnant flyers do is buy a neck pillow so you can sleep comfortably and I would bring your own snacks since the prices are up the butt! But don't wear fancy shoes since 1. When you go through TSA you may have to take them off but when you're sitting for hours on end you don't want shoes that restrict your feet. Bring slippers in your carry on and wear maybe some cute sweat pants or tights so you don't have a button or zipper digging in you

Answer

Drink plenty of water. Walk. Wear compression stockings. Book the aisle seat.
