You need to get a check-up from your doctor to make sure that you are in fit enough health, and that the pregnancy is healthy enough to allow for you to fly.

While traveling I advise you to keep your medical records, and the name and number of your doctor. You should also try to get the name and number of a doctor where you will be staying/visiting in case an emergency comes up.

To keep yourself safe and comfortable on the trip, follow these simple things:

*drink plenty of water

*avoid caffeine

*don't eat food that causes gas for at least one day before you travel (pressure builds up as you ascend through the altitudes and could cause pain)

*walk around as much as she can (up and down the aisles)

*stretch while sitting

*wear loose fitting clothing

*wear slip on shoes (your feet may swell)

*wear maternity support pantyhose or socks

*try to get an aisle seat or a front row seat for more leg room

*eat light foods

*eat small meals or snacks at frequent intervals rather than big heavy meals

*do not eat salt

*Wear your seat belt just under your abdomen (depending on how big you are, you can also ask for a seat belt extender - just be sure that that too goes under your abdomen)

*relax

I traveled internationally (14+ hours each way) this summer at the beginning of my 4th pregnancy (I'm currently at the end of my first trimester), and I flew last summer while pregnant. I left when I was 13 weeks and returned when I was around 30 weeks. I also did another short (3 hours each way) international trip (left at 32 weeks and returned at 34 weeks). My daughter was born 23 December and is perfectly healthy and happy. I have also traveled internationally at various stages with my first two pregnancies (my children are now 8&6 and are normal, happy, healthy, lovable kids).

I wrote an article about traveling while pregnant. It gives more in-depth information if you'd like to reference it: http://jamiehassen79.angelfire.com/pregn...

If I can be of any more help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Answer 3

Why don't you call them and ask or check their website.

Answer 4

Ring the airline. Sometimes it depends where you're traveling to. Another country may not want someone to give birth in their country - too much paper work I guess.

Usually you're okay if you flying in a pressurised cabin up to 28 - 30-ish weeks.

If it's okay with your OB, it just depends on the airline (each one has different rules).

Answer 5

Usually any airline avoid to permit access of any visible pregnant woman, mostly because they do not want to be involved in complications or birth during flight.

According to their site:"Expectant Mother in normal health will be permitted to travel till 35th weeks of pregnancy."

Answer 6

till seven month they will allow to trvel... after that they wont...
