Flying pregnant

If youre in the UK youll have your first midwife appointment at week 8 and the scan at week 12. So youll be able to ask them there about what they suggest.

Yes you can fly. I did. They recommend flight socks and short haul flights only. X

Yes I flew to Dubai and back for my 30th in my first trimester. It was fine.

I flew at 10 weeks and then back at 12 weeks. We did get a private scan at 9 weeks but it was more for the announcement we made while we were away. The flight itself was absolutely fine

I flew to Mexico from the US while I was in my first trimester, babe is now a perfectly healthy 3 month old

I flew between 8-10 weeks and hadn’t seen anyone.
You could have private scan for peace of mind, just try and wait closer to 8-10 weeks for better scan if you can x

It's safe, but that was PRIME nausea time. The airlines in the US let you pack food and liquids if you declare you are pregnant and have "dietary needs" for certain things. I hope this isn't awful for you.

Yes, you can fly on most airlines right up to 36 weeks for a single pregnancy or 32 weeks for a multiple pregnancy.

I flew 4 hours to the canaries at 10 weeks pregnant. I bought some flight socks. But aside from that it was fine. I had a lovely holiday. The heat was horrific as it was 42 and humid but a lovely holiday

I flew at 6 weeks and it was a wild experience because I’m already an anxious flyer! But honestly it was all fine and I made sure I went to the loo before but honestly it was all good! If you are worried you can always tell the flight attendants too that what I did and it put me at ease 😊
