Long travels on a plane in 3rd trimester
posted 23rd Nov
So for work i have to fly from Rhode Island to Hawaii in January. I will be 31weeks going into 32 weeks. My mid wife said it was fine as long as i walk every hour, and air line said i was okay to go. The travel time is 17 hours. 12 hours of flying and the rest are stops on the way so i can eat and really walk around. I guess i am really nervous.

If you've got the medical clearance, then I don't see a problem.

I flew when I was about 30 weeks. Just make sure that you listen to what your mid wife said, get up and walk every hour or you'll get super swollen. Also keep really heydrated, they'll help with swelling too.

I flew from AZ to PA at that time with my first pregnancy. It's safe, mamma. They only reason why they put restrictions in the last month is that they don't want a mid air delivery.
Just move around a lot to keep up your circulation.
