Travel Question- Flying
I haven't been to my first appointment yet and we are confused on how far along I am! This is my third and I am showing like I am 3 and half months when we are thinking I am 9 weeks. I'm confused but I have a week until my appointment. People keep saying I must be having twins :o
We are going to Disney World in December and I am freaking out because what if I am farther along than expected...? Or if I am having twins.. What have you guys been told on traveling... (flying) when are you not aloud to? Like how many weeks? I know it is different with twins too.

I traveled back and forth from Minnesota to Mexico 4x doing 2 way stops thru my whole pregnancy I wasn't high risk or anything and coming back home I was 8 1/2 months prego..my dr. Knew but was fine with it and everything came out just fine :) just ask your dr. First if your not sure.
I just went from nj to fl (22 hr drive with 2 kids!!!) And im 31 weeks. Im not sure about flying, but if my dr said it was okay to go on a car ride that long a plane ride should be alot better!
Look into your airlines policies about flying while pregnant. We are military and fly a great deal when my husband takes leave. We flew from Rapid City, SD to Pittsburgh, PA when I was 25 weeks pregnant with 1 layover and had no problems. (Delta doesn't require paperwork until you are in your third trimester.) Flying home I was 27 weeks and had a little bit of a problem because they didn't believe that I was 27 weeks. Luckily they still let me on the plane. Make sure your doctor clears you to fly and ask suggestions about what you can do on the plane to be safe.
My doctor basically said to stay super hydrated and to stretch my leg muscles every 20 minutes to prevent blood clots. I did both of those things and was perfectly fine. Make sure you take mints also to settle your stomach, depending on if there is any turbulence, it might make you very sick, like it made me!

It really just depends on your doctor, and how your pregnancy is. I flew at 35 weeks and I was just fine.
My mom is a flight attendant she worked full time while pregnant with my brother my sister and me and she never had any complications
It is ok to travel during pregnancy and i was high risk miscarriage with my first my midwife says if the baby didn't make it so he wasn't going to even if i avoid to travel..
So i know it is ok until u'r 32W bc the pressure might start u'r contractions , so just in case u don't want to have the baby on the plain lol

That is weird.. I thought travel was not aloud just towards the end at like 30 to 40 weeks? But I don't know for sure. Are you having twins? I don't know about that time frame though.
Im too worried about the same. I will have to travel next month. Im 6weeks now. My doctor suggested to cancel my flight if possible. But im not sure if i can:(
