Answer 1

my cousin flew to flordia at 32 weeks and she was pregnant with twins and the doctor said that it was ok for her to fly there should have been anything wrong. im not sure though i would maybe find a different doctor or just call and ask again to make sure at 28 weeks you shoul be fun hun. But to make your self feel better about it i would ask another doctor

Answer 2

see it's personal choice to travel during pregnancy. but air travel is not a convenient travel and can leave u very tired and can also cause DVT. The doctors normally do not suggest travelling by air during that late in pregnancy unless unavoidable circumstances. So,if u r returning by air before the delivery then i wouldn't suggest u to travel altogether. u can go after having ur baby to be on the safer side. i don't think it's worth a risk at the 28th week. the swelling and other discomforts increase during the 28th week and u shouldn't sit for more than an hour at a stretch and u can feel crammed up in the seat as there's not much of space to spread ur legs. plus many airlines do not allow women above 30 weeks pregnant to fly.

Answer 3

Okay, the final word is up to the airlines. Some won't take a woman if she is more than 6 months, so you might want to check that out. If you do plan to travel then, make sure you get up and walk frequently. Walk up to the bathroom, then walk back. Get an aisle seat so you won't inconvenience anyone, and make sure you keep walking. The reason is that you don't want to risk thrombosis in your legs or abdomen at that point, and the additional weight and pressure from the baby will have an effect on your circulation. Drink frequent sips of water and do leg lifts in your seat, rotating ankles, and all that stuff. The main thing is to keep moving as much as you can.
Hope all goes well for you.

Answer 4

You will need a doctor note if you are showing & permission from the airline, most won't allow you to fly after 30 weeks, also short flight w/o cabin pressure are a bit of a concern, longer flights that will fly at higher altitudes are safer (I called the airlines when I was considering flying)

Answer 5

My doctor said you shouldn't fly after 7 months (about 30 weeks), so I took a vacation when I was 6.5 months and I'm so glad I did. They say to just make sure you walk around every hour and drink lots of water on the plane, you should be fine.

Answer 7

At one time Air line did not allow the people to fly after 26 wks that all change with air lifts in emergency for delivery.

Some may have this, rule on their books, so check with them. All airlines have slightly different rules so check with the one that you may fly.

Answer 8

I am pregnant with my second child and flew with both. I flew from London to Wisconsin at 36 weeks and had no complications. It all depends on the pregnancy and the woman. I would suggest asking your doctor again and if she won't give you a straight answer, change your OB/GYN because obviously she isn't doing her job. That's what they're there for.
