Traveling on plane?? ✈️

Question

Has anyone ever traveled on a plane while pregnant I’m worried something bad will happen I will be 23 weeks when I go to Portugal and  I have some concerns xx

Answer

I just flew and I’m 20 weeks and everything is fine just walk around every 45 min

Answer

The concern with traveling isn’t really with flying itself. You should definitely stay hydrated and get up and move around when you can. The main concern is after a certain point you could potentially go into labor. The same can be said for travel by car or train or boat. It costs airlines an absolute fortune to make an emergency landing somewhere, and then you’re stuck. In an unfamiliar place with doctors you’ve never seen, trying to have a baby. My doc said traveling (for me) is ok in the second trimester but he doesn’t want me leaving in the third. I’m having twins so risk of preterm labor is much higher. Most docs say that 34-36 weeks is the cut off for travel for normal, low risk, singleton pregnancies. 
Good luck and have fun!!

Answer

Perfectly fine! I flew at 25 weeks and 28 weeks, it was fairly comfortable still. Just remember to hydrate as much as possible and avoid salty foods for the day. Also move your legs as much as possible.

Answer

just prepare ahead of time. i traveled on my 25th week and came back home on 30th week. i needed to hop on 2 planes to get to my destination, one flight was 5 hours and another was 3— which also came with 3 hrs each of layover back and forth 😅 boy was i exhausted. bring plenty of snacks, always ask for water when you run out, compression socks, walk on the aisle every 2 hours, also wear comfy clothes.
