Hey everyone, Im 19 weeks pregnant on friday. Im goin on holiday (abroad) on 16th September. My midwife said its fine, all i have to do is let the airline know that im pregnant. I will be 21/22 weeks when i go.

Sunbathing is Ok???? Not too much tho, Sunbathe in the shade..

Answer 1

If it's a long flight make sure you stand up and walk around often to avoid possible blood clots. Also be wary of any local seafoods. (Mom of five)

Answer 2

Buy some of those flight socks! Good luck! Make sure you are insured incase something goes wrong! For pregnancy too!!! have a nice time, you sound sensible! I flew from uk to austrailia whilst 8 and  12 weeks pregnant! Felt sick the whole time! But I wore the flight socks!

Answer 3

Don't do anything you wouldn't do in the UK (in your home country)! - same rules apply re: sunbathing as they do in the UK (in your country), make sure you put lotion on and don't sit and roast

Be careful of foods that are on the no-go list.
