Make sure you have a Dr note so you don't get turned away.

I flew 6 hours at 31 weeks and was fine. Wear compression stockings it will help a lot.

you should be fine, just double check with your doctor. i'm flying to Argentina when i'm 6 months, so i understand your concern. aisle seat, lots of water, and walk around often. i know we can do it! :)

I flew when I was 7 months pregnant to vacation with my family. I couldn't get my money back. Ask your doctor for a note saying it's safe for you to fly. Some airlines require it, drink plenty of water because planes tend to by dry air, and get up and move around as much as possible. I flew for four hours so I tried to move around every half hour or so.

I took a trip when I was about 6 months pregnant with my first and once again about 6 months pregnant with my second.  Not the most comfortable but it's doable.  Try to get an Isle seat so you don't Keep bugging someone every time you have to get up. Also try to get a seat close to the bathroom. Your doctor might have other suggestions so talk to them.

I'll be going on a trip to know I'll be about 30 weeks along I'm very nervous about it I don't see a problem with it the pressure in the cabin or anything doesn't cause problems so you're good there
