5 hour flight tonight. 28 weeks. Advice?

Question

I'm going on a 5 hour flight tonight, I have a low risk pregnancy and my doctor didn't say anything when I mentioned my flight, but I've been googling and seeing some stuff about compression socks and getting up every hour, etc. it's an overnight flight so I was going to sleep but I guess that's not the best idea? Any advice would be much appreciated :)

Answer

I'm also doing a 5 hour flight the day after tomorrow. I talked to my doctor and she said just make sure you get up here and there to walk around and pump your feet while sitting. Let us know how it goes

Answer

Definitely get up and walk whenever you can, lots and lots of water, stay dehydrated, also if you can, wear flight socks so it reduces chances of clotting. You should be fine, good luck :)

Answer

I'm traveling to Texas this week, and my doctor's only advice was to get up and stretch and walk around every couple of hours, regardless of how you are traveling. If you're in the car, stop after an hour or two for a drink and a bathroom break. If you're flying, don't sit more than like 2 hours without getting up and stretching and moving a little.

Answer

I fly a lot. Get a large bottle of water and stayed super hydrated. Pregnant women are at higher risk of getting clots, so that's why you should drink water and get up and stretch or walk frequently.

Answer

I had to take a 16 hour flight at 16 weeks. I wore the compression socks and got up to walk down the isle every hour and drank a tonne of water. Try to keep ur leg up
