Flying at 19 weeks?

I have to go to Florida at the end of Aug, I'll be 19 weeks. The flight is only about 2 hours each way. Do you think that should be ok? I will still be in my second trimester, so I think I should be okay. Any advice or precautions I should take other than staying hydrated in Fl in Aug lol? TIA!

Re: Flying at 19 weeks?

That's fine.

I flew 2x in my first trimester and am going to be flying at least 2x in my second trimester (one is next week).

Just drink lots of water and get up occasionally and walk around (which you probably will have to do because you will have to go to the bathroom).

Re: Flying at 19 weeks?

you'll be fine! if it makes you feel better get it cleared with your doctor. im going to florida next month and ill be about 27 weeks. my doctor said as long as its before 35 weeks and you stay in the country.

Re: Flying at 19 weeks?

You should be OK - I am flying to Florida next week at 28 weeks. Just stay hydrated and get up and walk as often as you can during the flight.

Have fun!

I flew to Vegas last year at 31 weeks. Just try to get up and walk to the bathroom a few times, stretch as much as you can. Lots of water

Re: Flying at 19 weeks?

That's fine. I am flying in two weeks - I will be 24 weeks. With my first I flew at 28 weeks (my doctor didn't want me going any later than that though!)

Re: Flying at 19 weeks?

Thank you so much! You made me feel better about this!

Re: Flying at 19 weeks?

you'll be fine. I flew at 25 weeks & had no troubles. Just make sure you drink tons of water & get up to stretch your legs.

Re: Flying at 19 weeks?

Definitely okay. I flew to South Africa (11 hours) + back at 27-29 weeks and then to NY (from London, about 7-8 hours) and back at 31-32 weeks.

I wore flight/compression socks and tried to walk around a bit (although I didn't manage a lot of walking). The worst part was trying to bend down to get things that I had stored under the seat in front of me! Also, try to get an aisle seat if you can. Just makes things easier. And limit luggage and carry on - you don't wnat to have to carry too much around the airport.

Re: Flying at 19 weeks?

Perfectly fine.

I flew to Florida at 21 weeks. The only problem I had was I was extreamly uncomfortable.

Just make sure you drink PLEANTY of water before, during and after your flight, and walk around on the plane.

Re: Flying at 19 weeks?

I think you will be fine. I flew a lot in my last pregnancy and it wasn't until I hit 34 weeks that I became uncomfortable.

Just get up to walk the aisle and flex your feet.
