  1. Yes you can sit on airplane...


  2. Yes.

    But I would advise sitting insie the airplane, it can be kinda windy up on top of it.

  3. Yea

  4. I'm not sure you can sit on the plane - you'd need a good way to get up there, especially while pregnant. You can TRAVEL on the plane however, while pregnant.

  5. Of course you can sit...why wouldnt you be able to?

  6. Providing you don't have some major complication in your pregnancy, your OB should have no problem clearing you to fly until your third trimester when you are more likely to deliver.

    Tips to remember is that even early in pregnancy swelling can be a discomfort. If you are prone to swelling when you are sitting for long periods, be sure to flex your toes fingers feet ankles and hands. This is a good thing to do every half hour or so to help keep your blood from pooling in your extremeties. Another thing to keep in mind is to drink plenty of water. If you think you are likely to be hungry, be sure to pack some snacks. If you still experience morning sickness, pack crackers. If your flight is a long one be sure to get up and walk the length of the plane when there is no turbulance now and again.

    The only real thing to be worried about is clotting but as long as you remember to keep yourself moving now and then you will be fine. It is a rare thing to be an actual problem and chances are there are other factors at play such as obesity. If you have concerns talk to your OB. the tips I offered besides the morning sickness are basic tips for anyone flying, they just become more necessary for a pregnant person.

    Sit back and enjoy your flight!!
