Up until how many weeks can I fly?

Question

Am trying to get pregnant but we have a holiday booked for June.

Answer 1

talk to your OB about this. A LOT of this is going to depend upon how you are fairing during your 3rd trimester. I ordered my tickets to go home over the holidays about 2 months before I found out I was preggers. I was 32 weeks when I flew out, and 34 weeks along when I flew back home. They recommend not flying after 35 weeks. But again, check with your OB, they will give you the best recommendation. Good Luck, and do your best to take the very best care of yourself and your baby as possible.

Answer 2

It varies doctors dont like you flying in the last trimester but they may approve it if you have an exam and are deemed fine as well when you do fly you have to stretch your legs every so often and drink only water and as much as you can but being february even getting pregnant now and taking holiday in june you would be around four months so good luck

Answer 3

You will be fine, even if you fall pregnant tomorrow!
It depends on the airline, but most will let you fly up to the end of your 32nd week. Some airlines wil let you fly later - BA lets you fly up until 4 weeks before your due date, so 36 weeks!
You won't even need a fit to fly letter in June because airlines generally only ask for them after 28 weeks.

Answer 4

if your not pregnant yet try not to worry about it as theres nothing to say you will be pregnant then these things take time,if you are you should still be fine to fly.It's diffrent for every airline and service so you need to check this with your tour operator the ones i know of British airways and first choice allow it up untill 5months of pregnancy sometimes you need and its better to get a doctors note as the foreign end can cause problems about it they wernt going to let my sister fly home untill she presented the doctors note confirming how many weeks she was and she was in good health to fly so something to bear in mind.

Answer 5

I just had my Baby August 8Th 2006, and I flew on an air-plane to California when I was 32 weeks and my doctor said it was OK. If you have any doubts any at all the best thing would be to ask your Doctor because I am sure if you have any complications during pregnancy that may change if you can go they may want to check you more often. Also with my first son I couldn't travel during my last trimester because my son's fluid was low and they wanted to do an ultrasound every two days. So I would say yes and ask your doctor just to be on the safe side

Answer 6

I think that if you are in your last trimester you just have to get a note from your ob doctor saying that your good to go and not expected to go into preterm labor. I had to get a not to fly and I was 28 weeks along. I don't think they want you to fly after 35 weeks at all. Doctors don't even want you to travel at all after 35 weeks.

Answer 7

It depends on your pregnancy, but in an uncomplicated singleton pregnancy the airlines will not allow you to fly during your 3rd trimester. Assuming you got pregnant today you would only be in your 2nd trimester in June, so you should be fine.

Answer 8

I think they say don't fly once you're in your 3rd trimester. So around the 27th week. If you're not pregnant now, you should be fine to fly in June.

Answer 9

Most airlines state not after 28 weeks some state 32 weeks,
However speaking from experience I would not fly after 24 weeks as if you needed the hospital quickly you are your baby would be at risk.
If you had an abruption you and your baby would be in danger,
Abruption can be life threatening,if not treated immediatly you can die, as I nearly did.

Answer 10

It depends on the woman and how the pregnancy is going. My Dr allowed me to fly at 35 weeks.
