travelling

Is travelling ok in the mid of 8th month by plane? And by road in car for 2.5 hours? Won't it hurt my baby?
Plz inform if anyone knows about it in detail.

I heard some airlines don't allow u to fly past 35 weeks and if u are in a car u should get out and stretch ur legs every two hours to prevent blood clots

I just flew on plain... 12 hr flight. Was 33 weeks.  Just took a letter from Dr. Confirming that. Its ok for me to fly. Was absolutely no problem. Just very uncomfortable! !!

from what i've heard, after 28 weeks many airlines demand a letter of consent from your doctor - stating that you're not having a high risk pregnancy and it's safe for you to fly. After 36 weeks most airlines wont let you fly.

also make sure you take necessary precautions, like wearing stockings (to counter the aircraft pressure and help regulate blood flow), that you walk around every now and then for better blood flow, that you use a hand sanitiser as you may be touching lot of things, that you have your prenatals with you, drink enough water to stay hydrated, etc etc.

good luck mama.

I'm in 28 week right now. May be i've to travel next month.

IF your doctor give the ok which is not likely...you need yo check with the airline. Some won't let pregnant women fly past a certain number of weeks. You're a liability if you were to go into labor mid flight

How many weeks are you? Planes dont let you fly after 36 weeks

Thats a question for your doctor.
