travel in week 12

[hub2610]

hi I am 7 weeks pregnant and we are planning to travel in week 12 of my pregnancy. This is my first pregnancy and the flight is around 5 hours long. Is it safe to travel? I am having no cramps or complications, almost no morning sickness. Please tell me should I travel or not. Thanks in advance.

You'll be fine! Drink A LOT of water and try to get up and walk once an hour on the plane. Research hospitals/doctors in the area just in case. Have fun!

I just came back from a 5 hr flight at the beginning and end of my 10th week. I also traveled during my 6th but only 2 hrs each way. A lot of peeing, so try for an isle seat! Everything else was fine.

You'll definitely be okay. I did an 18 hour flight to the Philippines when I was 5 months with my first and my doctor didn't bat an eye. Always good to be cautious though.

You will be fine :-) I have travelled when pregnant with both my children and also bump...bump has been abroad once already at 5 weeks and will be flying again at 11 weeks. Just make sure you drink plenty of water and bring your pregnancy notes. You shpldnt need a doctor's note unless you already look 6 months pregnant. The flight attendants are generally really attentive if you tell them. Oh and make sure you walk occasionally.

Yea that should be fine. But you.may need a doctors note.
