Travelling (by air) during pregnancy

[itsnikimendoza]

I have a trip to bangkok scheduled next week. 6 weeks preggo. Ang sabi ng OB kung hindi daw ako magkaron ng cramps, pwede naman. do you think okay lang? I mean safe to travel considering na parang pinas din bkk and puro lakad since shopping ang habol namin don. thank you!:)

^If your OB gives you a go, pwede naman siguro. Just be extra careful kase critical stage pa ang first trimester. When I travelled to the US on my 5th-6th month of pregnancy, she asked me to bring Duvadilan as a precaution.

^^I travelled to Shanghai on my 5th week and may go signal ako from my OB. Walang binigay sakin na gamot other than the progesterone ko na 3x a day. If I am not mistaken, Utrogestan yun. Di ako nahihirapan magtravel pero very important na you listen your body. Kung feeling mo pagod ka na, rest. Wag mo din masyadong biglain sarili mo. Be careful with street food (yun pa naman masarap sa Thailand!), yun ang super No-No ng OB ko, ang street food.

Hi, I'll be travelling with hubby and our toddler to the US to attend his sister's wedding. I'll be 24-25weeks upon departure and will be 33 weeks when we return that's roughly 16hrs to 18 hrs total including layover sa HK. Medyo kinakabahan ako magtravel kasi baka super laki na tyan ko when we return though sabi naman ng OB ko she'll give me medical certificate and meds na pampakapit. Sino na nakaexperience to fly with cathay pacific while they're pregnant?

Hi sis, worry ko din ito if pwede pa ba magfly by air by 32nd week. Pero short haul lang naman yung sa amin, Bangkok lang. Pero sa schedule din namin ng flight, Id be on my 32nd week by then. Parang scary no.

for this pregnancy, i have travelled at 16 weeks (8 hrs flight) and 18 weeks (3.5 hrs flight. ok naman no issues medyo pagod lang kakagala pero the flight is okay lang naman. worry ko is i'll be flying at 32 weeks (8 hrs) with my 3 yrs old daughter. medyo nasstress ako thinking about that.

^good luck sis! kaya mo yan doable naman.
I traveled na rin before, just me and my 2.5yr old toddler. Although it is a shorter flight than yours kasi from SG to MLA.
Pero maliit kasi ako magbuntis kaya hindi nga yata napansin kahit 7-8mos preggy na ako kasi i was wearing a jacket.
Just bring lots of stuffs para maaliw toddler mo (coloring/drawing materials, books, biscuits, etc). And hopefully may mga katabi ka na mababait at makikipaglaro sa kanya.
Don?t stress...relax and enjoy the ride.

I traveled 3x ngayong pregnant ako. Taiwan (17wks), Kuala Lumpur (19wks) and Osaka (20 wks). Dapat Singapore and another trip to Osaka ulit bukas pero nag pass na ko. Tumataas kasi yung bp ko and yung last trip ko sa Osaka, napagod talaga ako. Napansin ko din na nag swell yung paa ko.

I recently traveled from Qatar to Pinas (direct flight - 9 hrs), emergency leave lang so 10 days lang ako don Feb. 24 - March 7, I was 24 weeks pregnant, kumuha ako permit to travel sa Pinay na OB ko sa Qatar to be sure to avoid any inconvenience sa airport, and maka pila din sa mga priority lanes since maliit lang bump ko, I took Duphaston (3 x a day) habang nasa byahe starting nung day ng flight since wala daw dito Duvadilan. She said paglapag ko, magpa check up ako agad para maresetahan ako ng Duvadilan and take it 3 x a day, thank God I followed all her instructions, my beloved Father passed away and I went straight from the airport to the hospital, arranged everything na kailangan sa wake and interment, so grabe ang pagod and puyat ko, and of course napaka emotional ko, hangang makabalik dito. Again, before I left nagpa check up ako to be sure and nagpa ultrasound ako because I certainly felt paninigas ng tiyan, thank God everything is fine with me and the baby. I stopped taking Duvadilan maybe a week after makabalik ako dito, but felt the need to take it again dahil emotional pa din ako every now and then, sayang din naman since meron pa ako, tho I already saw my OB sabi nya ok lang di nako magtake, kung di naman na ako tagtag, I asked her if ever itake ko pa din ba, will it affect my delivery since Im on my 28th week na, di naman daw, kasabihan lang yun.
