Flying whilst pregnant

You can still fly without one especially then…the fit to fly is more for the later stage isn’t it?
It shouldn’t be an issue

Tips for flying when pregnant just stay out of the sun for so long and stay hydrated…definitely drink water and pack snacks for the plane especially if you have cravings or anything specific

Enjoy your trip though xx

I flew while I was 26 weeks - you don't need a letter, but I took my purple file as it had details of due date in case I was asked about how many weeks ect., and in case anything happened while away and needed to go to hospital so they had all info about my pregnancy

Agree re hydration while flying, get some compression socks and just keep moving to reduce dvt risk and helps with swelling

I went london to Boston and NYC when I was 25 to 27 weeks, had GD and was high risk but was told the same, that they stopped doing it. I just made copies of my yellow book and travelled with that, noone questioned me and had no issues. Be sure to flaunt your bump to skip the line everywhere! Xxx

Fit to fly is usually needed from 28 weeks but check your airline. I went away when I was 27 weeks and just had to sign a form to declare I was less than 28 weeks. I took my matb1 form with me as evidence of due date but wasn’t asked for it.

I flew at 29 weeks and I was 30 weeks when I flew back. I didn’t have any note with me. I just wore a baggy jumper and no one said anything.

I got one as I was 28 weeks, returning at 30 and nobody asked for it.. but I asked my midwife to sign it and said I understood it’s unofficial ect

I used to live in nyc and would fly back to London regularly with both pregnancies and I never got asked once for a fit to fly and like others said I wore baggy clothes and was more like 30+ weeks I would advise compression socks and moving around and plenty of water!! people don’t realise how dehydrated you can get from flying! I’m also cabin crew! You should be fine x

I flew to Japan at 26 weeks pregnant and flew back just shy of 28 weeks (by about 3 days). I didn’t take a note, I just made sure to have my badger app to show them my due date if needed (as under 28 weeks). Not sure if depends on airline.

In my area, you have to get a private fit to fly note as gps or midwives won’t do them anyway x
