safe to travel?

[momsg]

Is it safe to travel long hours by flight at 9 weeks pregnant? cant afford to cancel the trip which was planned many months ago.. Will it effect my fetus?.. And im worried if morning sickness strikes in the plane..

I travelled 7hrs @ 34wks no problem but would advise to do earlier if can. 9wks is a good time I felt more anxious if went into labour but a lot of ladies do if they have to!

I actually asked my obgyn this question since I often travel internationally. She told me that long travels are ok by 34th week. She advised me not to do it after that. If anything happens on the plane, who is going to help you? What if you go into labor? I don't mean to scare you or be insensitive. Just think of your own safety and your baby's well being in case you do need medical care. Whatever you decide to do, good luck!

Do not worry. Drink water enough to keep yourself hydrated during flight. It is not dangerous at all. Just be carefull not to carry heavy bagagge by yourself. It all will be fine.

Not at all unless ur dr advises u not to. Its usually when ur further along like in ur 8-9 month that they dont want u traveling.
