I plan on flying to California at about 30 weeks... Are there special things you have to do when pregnant and flying... Whether it be with Drs, the airline or anything

[MrsMount1217]

Basically yeah you could. Try to book with the same airline both ways so you'll know their regulations.

I would def call the airline u will be flying on because some won't let you on if you are 36+ weeks

[meg_ftm_sohappy]

Oh my. So if something happened i could get suck in California?... If i went over their requirements?

[MrsMount1217]

There are flight restrictions on pregnant women, after so long they won't let you fly but idk how many weeks..id call the airline and ask before you buy tickets

You have to check with the airline you will be flying. They have their requirements on their websites. Most require a doctors release since you're in your 3rd trimester.

Does the 4hr thing include lay overs? And what are antenatals? Sorry ftm.

[twobecometgree]

Not sure what happens over there, but here is Australia you should carry your antenatal record at all times and if after a certain gestation you need a doctors letter, also there are restrictions over here for flying more then 4 hours after so many weeks during pregnancy. I'm looking at flying at 38 weeks. Perhaps you could call the airline and ask what needs to be done as each airline has different protocol too.

I'm in Ohio if that makes a difference
