Travelling (by air) during pregnancy

[purple29]

We went to HK when i was 13 weeks pregnant and i didn't have a med certificate with me kasi dapat check  up ko a day before the trip but my emergency si OB.  Nung nag check in kami nagask if may pregnant daw ba sa amin so i said yes but i dont have a med certificate and im only 13 weeks pa lang naman. Good thing ok lang naman daw but i need to sign a form pero pag balik namin i did not declare na nung nag check in kami kasi hindi naman nagtanong. Pero nung boarding na the FA asked me if im pregnant so i said yes and after a few minutes i was wondering kung bakit ang tagal mag close ng plane eh mukhang complete naman kami then  pabalik balik ang mga FAs yun pala hinahanap ako tapos pinuntahan pa ako nung mga ground crew kasi i have to sign the form daw. They thought i was 30 weeks pregnants na kaya nataranta sila! Sobrang hassle kasi hindi p naman halata yung tummy ko.

Sa first  baby ko i was 5 months pregnant when i went to china and i did not declare it as well kasi flat pa rin naman tummy ko and hindi naman ako nagka problem.

I flew recently to Davao, almost 6 weeks pregnant (recently lang to). Yung Manila to Davao na flight, I had to see their doc to have me sign papers din. Nashock nga ko kasi ni hindi pa nga prominente yung bump and all, kelangan may ganun na. Pero, yung flight from Davao to Manila, same airline, wala lang. Di na ko tinanong nung sa check-in so nagulat ako. Sinabi ko na lang, then ayun pirmahan na lang sa counter without a doc or anything. Nung boarding na, wala lang, walang pake yung tumatanggap ng pass dun sa paper as compared sa Manila to Davao, tinanong pa kung sino yung kasama ko etc.

I'll be flying to Hong Kong this New Year, nakabook na kasi flight namin. mga 19 weeks na siguro ako by that time. Natakot tuloy ako baka harangin ako or something.

^sis just request for a medical certificate from your OB and declare it para walang problem.

I dont know if this is already shared in this thread..
All our local airlines except for PAL let pregnant women 33 weeks and below travel, pero pag 34 weeks ka na and up di na pwede.. Ang PAL naman hanggang 35 weeks, yun sabi sakin sa cebu pac.. I recently went to laoag, 31 weeks ako, and dko alam yung ganung rule, buti umabot pako..

[twelvth_goddess]

^Payag naman PAL pero may kasama pang ibang waiver na whatever happens, hinde sila liable. Kay alang ang nagiging problem naman, mostly OBs would not want to sign the waiver kase license nila at stake.

I flew with PAL when I went to the US, I was around 6 months pregnant that time. I asked them kung pano nga pag more than 35 weeks na.

[purple29]

Is it required to submit the EMIS in PAL or ok na kahit medical certificate lang?

[ayami]

^ I called PAL, EMIS lang talaga tapos diba may portion to be filled up by the OB sa part 2 if beyond 6 months na. Basta andun yung details sa website and sa pdf file. Ako lilipad with PAL this December and 4 months pa lang, so first portion lang ng EMIS ang pipirmahan.

^ Thanks sis. I have medical certificate na kasi from y OB. Will download na lang the EMIS. I'll be on my 30th week na kasi sa travel date ko.

Hello mga sis, I'll be flying to MLA from SG on my 21.5 weeks. Need ko pa ba ng medical certitificate? Or EMIS only will do?

Thanks!

Non umuwi ako dito sa Pinas from Seoul last Thursday (30 weeks 5 days) EMIS lang kinuha upon check-in. PInakita ko [textspeak!] certificate from my OB pero hindi na daw kailangan.

[wahmproject]

Nagbackread ako kasi im interested to know whether possible magtravel to and from US/Manila during the first trimester.  Mostly nabasa ko at least nasa 2nd trimester na or early pregnancy pero shorter distances lang.  Plan namin to have 2nd baby this year but there's a chance also na magUS kami. What if matapat sa 1st trimester and trip to US. Ang haba na ng flight at the same time, baka unsafe to tour around US. (Go to Grand Canyon, walk along the Las Vegas strip, shop at the outlet stores, go to Hollywood....) Dami kong gustong gawin sa trip na baka hindi magawa if im preggy.   Hindi pako preggy mga Sis ha. I just want to be prepared and manage my travel expectations when the time comes.

next week mag 8weeks nako.. okay lang ba yun to travel by plane at hindi na ako kukuha ng medical certificate from ob neither the EMIS form?

[ayami]

^EMIS lang ako non with matching tingin ng doctor sa airport, 8 weeks din ako nagtravel to Davao lang naman. Pero medyo OA yung sa Airphil e, barely obvious pa nga pagkabuntis ko minention ko lang pero ayun kelangan ko makipagmeet pa sa doctor nila dun at mainterview hehe

nung 20 weeks ako to Hong Kong naman di naman OA, ni hindi pa nga ako tinanong kung preggers or what kahit medyo obvious si baby. Ako na mismo nagabot ng EMIS na finill-up ko. Photocopy lang ginawa nila tas yung isa ibibigay sa FA bago pumasok sa plane. 6 copies ng EMIS ang ginamit ko noon
