Air Travel

Hi Mommas,
I am currently 6 weeks pregnant and I have flights booked for my 11th week. I asked my doctor and she said it is up to me if I want to travel. This is my second child but I am still nervous. Just want some advice. We are doing three flights and the longest is 4.5 hours.
Thanks for any advice!

I drove 14 hours at 7 months pregnant just for a wedding.  Travelling is fine as long as you get up and do a little walking every few hours.  It will be fine.

I'll be 26 weeks when I fly to see my family I'm Florida. Doctor said it's fine. Just get some movement in :)

Just remember to make an effort to get up and move about every 45 minutes to an hour. That's the biggest problem I see at that stage. Congrats on the baby .
