traveling pregnant

[edomin02]

Hello ladies.. so today I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I need help. I've been having my vacation planned for months. And I'm goin to be flying alone to meet with family. The flight is 3 hours... Is it ok to fly during your first trimester? Don't want to do any harm to the baby. And also is it ok to lift luggage as well. I'm taking about 40lbs... Please help, thank you.

I flew when I was 12 weeks. I was just told that if it was a long flight, to get up at least once an hour and walk to the bathroom, to prevent clotting.

40lb suit case no you will be just fine in a flight for 3 hours but you might want to get something you can roll and have someone pick it up for you but u shouldnt be really carrying anything       .... call your doctor i drive 4 hrs when i was 15 weeks and i also got on a planr to go three hours from charlotte nc to miami flordia with a lay over in atl but didnt have a heavy bag

I'd definitely ask your doctor. I have heard they don't want you traveling in your first & last trimester and that it's not good to lift heavy objects. But it also depends on your pregnancy. So I'd give them a call & double check.
