Is it okay to take a short-distance flight to travel when I am 23 weeks pregnant?

Air Rail Manager reminds you: 23 weeks is relatively a stable period and you can travel appropriately.

Pregnant women must be accompanied by someone when flying. Try to pay attention to the following matters:

1. Choose a seat close to the aisle to make it easier for pregnant women to get up and move around.

2. Walk around every hour on the plane to keep the blood circulation in your lower limbs smooth. You can also do some simple exercises regularly, such as moving your limbs and turning your ankles.

3. Pregnant women are prone to hunger, so prepare more food in advance.

4. Wear loose, soft clothes and keep warm. Place a small pillow behind your back to cushion the bumps. Do not tie the seat belt around the abdomen, but tie it below the abdomen and above the thigh.

5. If an obstetric emergency occurs during the journey, such as unexplained abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, uterine contractions, large amounts of watery fluid discharged from the vagina (rupture of amniotic membranes), vaginal discharge of tissue or blood clots, the flight attendant should be reported promptly. , asking for help.

6. Pregnant women under the following circumstances are best not to fly: 1. Pregnant women with a history of spontaneous abortion, premature birth, cervical insufficiency, venous thrombosis of the lower extremities; threatened abortion, ectopic pregnancy, congenital abnormality of the uterus, or Abnormal placental position, severe early pregnancy reactions; multiple births; threatened premature birth; medical diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, severe anemia, asthma, epilepsy, phlebitis, motion sickness, etc. 2. Pregnant women who have conceived through assisted reproductive technologies such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization are advised not to fly because their fetuses are too precious.

7. People who are in poor health or have difficulty getting pregnant should not travel far away. The air pressure difference during takeoff and landing, excess weight and weightlessness, as well as the turbulence of the aircraft when encountering high-altitude air turbulence, will make the expectant mother and the fetus in her belly feel uncomfortable. . If possible, pregnant women should avoid traveling far and avoid flying.
