31 weeks pregnant/ 6 hour flight?

Hello planning a baby moon and wondering if at 31 weeks a 6-hour flight will be achievable? I’m prepared to walk around the flight and wear compression socks. Would love to know others thoughts/ experiences before we decide! Thanks

I didn’t do that long but I did 3 hours at 31 weeks and honestly I felt absolutely fine. That week away was the best I felt my whole pregnancy 😂.
Just make sure you get your fit to fly signed in due time and check your airline rules. I had to print out their form from the website and get it signed I couldn’t just get a letter from my doctor x

I did a 5 hour flight at 31 weeks and I was fine but did get a bit of swelling in my hands and feet. I did forget compression socks! It triggered carpal tunnel quite bad in my hands after the holiday but was really hot when I was there which didn’t help but I still have it now nearly 6 weeks postpartum

oh no! That doesn’t sound good! Sorry to hear it

we are thinking about Cape Verde which is hot in April!

We live in Manchester and my babymoon is in 2 weeks so I'll also be 31 weeks pregnant...we're going to Bolton 😅 ain't no way I've the patience to deal with airports or travelling, its a 40 min drive to a nice spa hotel, that'll do haha. Also feel comfortable knowing I can get to my hospital within an hour should anything happen

not sure we should go now! 🤦🏽‍♀️

I flew 3hrs at 35 weeks. Definitely compression socks, get up and move and drink lots of water!

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Bump pics!

Congratulations mamas as we wrap up the second trimester and start the last stretch! 26w and 4d over here. Have a good day!

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?
