Yes I’ve just come back from Italy and Greece and had no issues at all, all just seemed very normal! X

I flew home from Lanzarote on a 4.5hr flight at 24 weeks and it was 100%
Bit uncomfortable near the end of the flight just from sitting for so long but otherwise was just the same as pre pregnancy xx

Just flew a few days ago, had no issues. Be sure to use the bathroom right before you get on the plane if you can!

I’m just home from Australia and 26 weeks! I had no issues. Depending your flight time just make sure you wear compression socks and try to wear them up to 24 hours after you land if you’re flying long haul ☺️
Try to get up every hour or so and walk the aisle too!

Main thing is make sure u wear compression socks I've travelled loads whilst pregnant u just can't after 35 weeks x

I came back from Tenerife yesterday, I’m 27 weeks and all was ok! Only suggestion is to get up and keep moving, my feet swelled up a lot and was quite uncomfortable where I slept the whole flight 😊

I have and didn’t have any issues at all. I think it’s once your 27 weeks + you may find it more uncomfortable.

I flew 3 times during this pregnancy and everything was very straightforward and normal. Last time I was 25 weeks and it was 5.5 Hours flight. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and get up for a walk during the flight every hour 😊 enjoy!

I did , don't make the mistake I did by not getting up and walking around more. I was only on a 4 hour flight and then 1 hour coach to Greece. My hips killed because if been stationary and they hasn't hurt much before that. I was much better on the way home as I moved more :)

I went to Malta a couple of weeks ago, which is only a 3 hour flight and it was fine. I’m always uncomfortable on flights anyway, especially being tall, with no legroom but made sure I had an aisle seat, so I could get out for my multiple wee breaks and also so I didn’t feel claustrophobic. My main concern was the airport itself and queueing, as I suffer from fainting/ feeling faint but luckily it was all good, as we got through everything pretty quickly and just sat down for as long as possible when when they stated boarding, to be the pretty much the last on the plane, to avoid unnecessary standing around x

We flew back from Santorini when I was about 24 weeks and I found it very uncomfortable, was pleased it was only a 4 hour flight as previously wanted to go to Bali 😂 but obviously is different for everyone.

Very uncomfortable but other than that fine if your flying somewhere hot make sure u drink plenty and stay in shade xxx
