What should pregnant women pay attention to when traveling by plane?

For pregnant mothers, there will definitely be questions: Can pregnant women fly? Doctors disapprove of arranging flying work and travel in the first trimester, about 1 month to 3 months (about 4 weeks 12 weeks), because the fetal development in the first trimester is still unstable and abortion in the first trimester is also common. Once the abortion is fruitless, it is very inconvenient to see a doctor. On the other hand, the change of gravity in the process of taking off and landing, the sudden change of airflow and its pressure during flight will lead to the violent turbulence of the aircraft. The take-off and landing of airplanes may cause motion sickness in pregnant women with poor brain balance, but morning sickness itself will be aggravated, which may lead to the consequences of abortion. X-ray irradiation during airport security check, solar radiation and cosmic rays during long-term and repeated high-altitude flight may also affect the embryos in the first trimester, leading to fetal malformation.

What should pregnant mothers pay attention to when traveling in the first trimester?

In the second trimester, most airlines allow pregnant women who are pregnant for 34 weeks to fly, but they need a flight permit issued by a doctor recently. The main risk of flying in the third trimester still comes from the instability of the plane in the air. Severe bumps can lead to premature delivery, placental abruption and other problems. Narrow activity space and long-term fixed sitting posture, coupled with the hypercoagulability of pregnant women, significantly increase the incidence of lower extremity thrombosis, and even induce pulmonary embolism in severe cases, which is life-threatening. So you should try to avoid the third trimester and flying for a long time. If you really need to fly, you should wear special socks to prevent venous thrombosis of lower limbs. After the plane rises steadily, it is necessary to walk around the airport regularly or move the lower limbs in situ to prevent venous thrombosis.

Pregnant mothers should also try to avoid carrying a lot of luggage and change planes many times in the middle to avoid premature contractions due to overwork and excessive pressure. When using the seat belt on the plane, be careful not to press the seat belt directly in the middle of the abdomen, so as to avoid the impact of the plane taking off and landing or bumping in flight squeezing the fetus or causing placental abruption. The correct way is to put the seat belt at the root of the thigh. If the length of the seat belt is insufficient, you should apply for increasing the length, and you can't forcibly fasten the seat belt to fix your body.

At the same time, during pregnancy, you should carry simple prenatal information and be accompanied by your family, so that you can ask for help and explain the situation in time when an accident occurs.
