Q.	What has been your experience with pregnancy and air travel?	Related Search: Pregnancy
	I'm going to be traveling to mexico in May. I will be 20 weeks along. Have you guys had an easy or difficult time flying while pregnant, especially around that time-frame? Thank you gals:)
A.	There are some precautions that a pregnant traveler should consider: Talk to your practitioner before flying. If you are more than 36 weeks pregnant, many airlines will not let you fly for fear that you'll deliver on board. Try to do the majority of your traveling in the second trimester. Not only will you be more comfortable, but in general the risk of miscarriage and preterm labor are lower. Avoid excessive flying. Although there are no hard and fast numbers. The flight attendants with the higher miscarriage rates flew on average 74 hours per month. Make comfort arrangements. Try to get seats with more leg room, plan to walk in the aisles, potty breaks, and water... Avoid travel to countries that would require immunization. Talk to your practitioner for more info on immunizations. So remember, flying is not contraindicated in an uncomplicated pregnancy, but use your common sense and speak to your practitioner about your travel plans.

Q.	Is the air travel advisable during the last 4 months of pregnancy? What might be the negative effects?	Related Search: Other - Pregnancy & Parenting
	I've heard that after 6th month of pregnancy, its dangerous to travel by air coz of thge air pressure and shortage of oxigen. Further, it can result in pre-mature delivery,dont know whats right n wats wrong.
A.	I checked out the rules at three different airlines plus consulted with my doctor when I recently flew at seven months pregnant. The airlines generally do not allow travel in the last four weeks of pregnancy and the doctor said she could not see any reason why I shouldn't travel at seven months. As long as you're healthy and bp isn't elevated, you shouldn't need to worry. Just make sure to drink lots of water and sit by the aisle if you can, so you can easily get up and stretch. Also note that you are not allowed to sit by the emergency exits when you're pregnant.

Q.	Can a pregnant travel by air in her 7th month of pregnancy?	Related Search: Other - Pregnancy & Parenting
	Can a pregnant lady in the 7th month of her pregnancy travel by flight ,can she tighten her seat belt and is there any harmful blood pressure variations during the flight journey may occur?
A.	You are safe to travel by plane from the beginning of your pregnancy all the way up until the end portion of your last trimester (usually 9th month) and can manage what ever kind of trip(s) you want to do as long as you and your pregnancy are healthy and the pregnancy is progressing normally. As long as everything is fine, air travel does NOT increase the risk of miscarriage or pre-term labor. I traveled internationally (14+ hours each way) this summer while pregnant. I left when I was 13 weeks and returned when I was around 30 weeks. I also am on another short international trip (left at 32 weeks and return at 34 weeks). I have also traveled internationally with my first two pregnancies (my children are now 8&5). All airlines make up their own rules and regulations regarding pregnant women. Some do not restrict travel at all, no matter what stage of pregnancy a women is in, and others start to restrict at 7 months, although the majority restrict around 36 weeks. You should get a check-up from your doctor to make sure you are in fit enough health to fly. Most airlines will require a medical certificate from your doctor dated 24-72 hours before your flight once you reach your third trimester (27 weeks), so you should check on that. FAA Airline regulations state : Obstetrical patients are free to fly, but pose a significant risk in later stages of precipitating delivery during flight. Pregnancy past 32 weeks should be carefully considered for restriction from flight and must be accompanied with an authorization note from a doctor. Those past 36 weeks should be prohibited from flying unless personally accompanied by their doctor. (Taken from my husbands flight security and survival manual & FAA site) [Link] While traveling I advise you to keep your medical records, and the name and number of your doctor. You should also get the name and number of a doctor where you will be staying/visiting in case an emergency comes up. To keep yourself safe and comfortable on the trip, follow these simple things: drink plenty of water avoid caffeine don't eat food that causes gas for at least one day before you travel* (pressure builds up as you ascend through the altitudes and could cause pain) walk around as much as you can (up and* down the aisles) stretch while sitting wear loose fitting clothing wear slip on shoes (your feet may swell) wear maternity support pantyhose or socks try to get an aisle seat or a front row seat for more leg room eat light foods eat small meals or snacks at frequent intervals rather than big heavy meals do not eat salt Wear your seat belt just under your abdomen (depending on how big you are, you can also ask for a seat belt extender - just be sure that that too goes under your abdomen) relax For more in-depth information, please visit: [Link] If I can be of any more help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.
