Is it safe to fly overseas in a plane while being pregnant 4 month?

Question

I fly quite often...about 3 times or 4 times a year in a plane.I fly overseas once a year and I was planning to go to europe once again to visit my family in june.By that time if all goes well I would be around 4 month pregnant.How safe it is to fly long distances while being 4 month prgnant.I mean 9 hour flyight + 2 hour rest period ,then another flight for 1 hour.

Answer 1

It is said that is is generally safe to fly up until the 35th week for long flights as long as you are not at risk of having premature labor or possibilities of having any placental abnormalities. If your pregnancy got any complication, you should avoid flying at all costs. Otherwise if you are sure, your pregnancy is perfectly sound and healthy , then nothing to worry. Be reminded to keep in mind few things that would help to avoid few problems or discomforts while you are on the air :

Travel in loose fitting clothing as you might get mild edema. Take extra care of your meals and fluids.Be seated near the isle near the bathroom if possible as you might need to go more often. Try to take a walk every hour and move about as often as possible during the flight to avoid lower limbs edema and improve your circulation. And be reminded to be extra careful from the x-ray machines at the airport.

Check out airline requirements for a pregnant traveler as there might be some forms you need to fill up and medical certificate requirements.

Take rest as much as you can while traveling. Goodluck!

This is very important.. You should call your embassy, I called mine and they said I must fly before 7 months for the length of the flight. They also say you have to stand up and walk around at least every two hours, or you can harm your baby as your blood pressure is low anyway, and in an airplane even lower, alot higher risks of thrombosis. 4 to 5 months you are at a good time to travel, although if you can avoid travelling long distance it is always better, but if it's already planned I hope you enjoy your trip. Many companies wont let you fly in your 7th month even with a letter from a doctor, if you can see your tummy alot make sure you have a letter from your doctor for the airline and immigration saying that you can fly... Also some countries are a little strict on giving visas to pregnant woman so call the embassy of the ocuntry you will visit before flying aswell

I will fly from Mexico to Australia (My home, Aus) in May I will be 6 months so have been looking into all of this alot

Best of luck and a safe journey

Answer 5

Check with your Ob-Gyn before you make the long flight. Let them give you a clean bill of health. They mostly don't like you to fly around your 8/9th months.

Answer 6

Since you are in your second trimester, and if you feel up to it physically, then I don't see why not. Be careful to get plenty of rest and to not get exhausted.

It is not advisable to fly in the 1st or 3rd trimesters, nor to go anywhere remote where there is no medical care available.

Answer 7

Yes. If you're worried discuss it with your ob/gyn but it shouldn't be a problem until the end of your 8th month or 9th month.

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

I think you should consult your doctor.
