Baby moon at 34 weeks

Make sure you’re allowed to fly, check with the airline 😊

I did a transatlantic flight at 27 weeks and it was not the most comfortable (economy seats) but I managed, not sure I would have much later! However at 34 weeks the main thing I would check is your insurance and the airline T&Cs! Some need extra paperwork after 28weeks to show your pregnancy is uncomplicated and may need to pay extra for insurance cover - depending on where you travel if you go into labour it could be very costly and complicated!

Personally at 30+ weeks I’d be staying within an hour or two drive from home and not going abroad (depending on where you are - I’m based in UK)

I did one but in the city i live in, in a lovely spa hotel. I wouldn't have felt comfortable flying or being too far from home tbf

I agree with 🙋🏻‍♀️

I always wondered how babies were born on planes, I guess this is how. I wouldn't get on a plane if it was me- pressure changes can induce labor (just like barometric pressure can!)

ain’t it recommended not to fly after like week 28 or 36 coz labour could happen any time after 37? xx

Personally I wouldn’t fly in the 3rd trimester at all! Way too risky personally xx

I just googled this and it says be aware that policies vary between airlines. But most commercial airlines accept pregnant travellers up to 32 weeks xx

I travelled at that time, and felt totally fine. I was very relaxed and happy and there was a few pregnant women on the flight. I had a 5 hour flight and my airline asked my due date on the way out and didn’t say anything on the way back - I was actually a couple days over when they allow you to fly on that airline. But I checked with my midwife and they were happy to let me fly. Just use those compression socks and walk regularly on the flight. Enjoy! X

I flew at 31 weeks and felt absolutely fine, but it was only a 3.5 hour flight. the holiday was the best I’d felt my whole pregnancy 😂 .
At 37 weeks we did a mini baby moon just to stay In a little cabin in the countryside. Was around a 3 hour drive. Maybe try that instead ? X

we have ours booked April 10 i’ll be 32 weeks but it’s only a 3ish hour flight

I flew to Mexico at 36 week’s against my doctors advice. She said if I was going to go anyways then I needed to find a labor and delivery hospital in the area just to be prepared. I was staying on a small island with a hospital in the middle of town and I spoke to a few locals who said they all delivered their babies there. It made me feel a lot better.

Also the biggest risk with flying in the 3rd trimester is blood clots. My doctor said there’s a hormone that makes pregnant women more susceptible to blood clots and to make sure I drank lots of water before and during my flight, and get up and walk the cabin every 30 minutes-1 hour to keep blood flowing. I also went to a nurses store and bought some compression socks to wear on my flight.

I went away around 26 weeks and I wish I never went. I was too tired to do much, needed a nap during each day and just sunbathed in the morning basically. The plane was a nightmare as sitting down in one place for 3.5 hours put a lot of pressure on my tail bone.

The worst part was the airport. People walk into you and are really selfish and don't care that you're pregnant, so be prepared for people to be pushing your bump etc.

I had a panic attack because of it 😅 wish I never went, I was happier in my wee bubble at home x

We went at 31 weeks, a 12 hrs drive. We stopped every 2 hrs for me to walk and stretch. It wasn’t horrible. My dr was ok with it. She said to make sure we knew where hospitals were if needed (we didn’t but with gps I’m sure we would have found one).
I was too afraid to fly at that time. I didn’t want a delayed flight and get stuck. I also wanted a car when we got there for emergencies.

I personally would not travel past 32 weeks.
I know a lot of people who went into labor naturally at 34-35 weeks.
I’ve been in and out of hospital with contractions around this time too. It’s better safe than sorry imo
