What is everyone's opinion on flying at 32 weeks? My dr gave me clearance but it seems like everyone who hears I'll be going on vacation at 32 weeks they think it's crazy!
If ur flying to l.a. It's really not that much different than if you worked sitting at a desk all day ya know? I agree just hydrate get up stretch etc. the flight from L.a to Hawaii is gonna be easier. I would just make sure that you are as comfortable as possible and maybe bring a pregnancy pillow with you and other stuff that helps u stay comfy. As long as u feel good go for it.
Just make sure you get up to walk on the plane and hydrate. Being pregnant you run a higher risk of blood clots in the legs, but walking, stretching & water help prevent them
@lizibear84 thanks I read on the airlines website and it said you can fly up to 37 weeks. I requested a letter from my dr just to be safe but some of these comments from people are getting me a little worried.
@bria, I'm flying to Hawaii but we're laying over in LA to break up the trip.
I think that as long as it's not a long flight & you make sure to move & hydrate, you'll be fine. Just make sure to check with your airline that they allow it. A few don't let women fly after so many weeks. And find out if you need a doctor's note saying it's ok
Thanks ladies! I'll definitely be walking around the plane and somewhat frequent bathroom breaks will help with that. @bria I don't use a pregnancy pillow so that's one less item to pack just my millions of stomach creams and oils 😃.
