Can I fly during pregnancy? What should I pay attention to?

Although many times, pregnant expectant mothers want to have a rest and have a baby, the reality is that expectant mothers will always encounter various problems and need us to travel. When you need to go to some distant destinations, the plane becomes a very necessary choice. So can pregnant women fly? In fact, pregnant women in the second trimester can fly, and expectant mothers in the first and third trimesters are still not recommended to fly.

Pay attention to these points when flying during pregnancy. First, expectant mothers in the early stages of pregnancy are not suitable for flying.

During the flight, there will be a lot of airflow, so there will be many bumpy moments. For the expectant mother in the early pregnancy, the embryo is still in a state of incomplete development, so flying at this time will increase the risk of miscarriage of pregnant women. Therefore, in the early stage of pregnancy, expectant mothers had better not fly.

Second, you can choose the plane as a travel tool in the second trimester of pregnancy.

In the second trimester, fetal development has been relatively stable, so expectant mothers can choose the mode of transportation by plane, but when flying, they need to pay attention to the following issues.

1, try to choose a position close to the aisle.

Because in the second trimester, many expectant mothers will urinate frequently, so when flying, expectant mothers can choose the aisle position, which is not only convenient for going to the toilet, but also can stretch their legs in the aisle for a while if their legs are uncomfortable.

2. When walking, put the fixture beside you.

What you encounter most on the plane is the turbulence after the airflow. If the expectant mother is not in her seat at this time, you must pay attention to holding the fixtures around you, such as the back of the chair, so as not to bump and affect the health of yourself and the fetus.

Third, flying is not allowed in the third trimester.

Generally speaking, airlines will require expectant mothers who are pregnant for more than 36 weeks not to fly, but it is also possible that some companies will advance the time when they can't fly. Generally speaking, mothers in the third trimester are not suitable for flying, because there may be some air pressure difference during the flight, which may cause excessive tension in the uterus, thus causing premature delivery and water breakthrough. Therefore, in the third trimester, expectant mothers should not fly.

For expectant mothers, the choice of travel tools should be based on the health of themselves and their fetuses, and the behaviors that are not conducive to the health of expectant mothers and fetuses should be eliminated. Of course, even if you can't fly, expectant mothers can choose safe ways such as high-speed rail and train, as long as you always pay attention to safety.
