traveling when pregnant

When is it safe to fly?

Re: traveling when pregnant

I'm pretty sure that unless you are high risk, most people can fly up to 36 weeks if they move around and drink a lot of water.

But you'd have to ask your Doctor what they are comfortable with.

Re: traveling when pregnant

every airline has a different cut-off.... usually somewhere around 34-36 weeks.

HOWEVER, I'll tell you that I was traveling from 26-29 weeks (europe), and then a second short trip to MD at 31 weeks.... and the 2nd trip was a killer.

I was totally fine until I hit about 30 weeks, but after then, fatigue, edema, and a lot of other problems made travel much less comfy.

so if you can avoid traveling long distances well into your 3rd trimester, do so!
