3rd Trimester

Travel

29 weeks and a few days pregnant...Am I completely out of my mind traveling to Colorado on Thursday?  Going with the hubs, mom, dad and other family...Staying 9 miles from a hospital with L&D and a NICU.  Pregnancy has been textbook so far...no issues to speak of.  Seeing the OB on Wed for final clearance...

Re: Travel

  • I am sure your OB will clear you, especially since you've had no complications. Usually you can go til 32-34 weeks on a plane. (Sometimes even a little later than that, according to most pregnancy books I've read, even!)

    I traveled at the 29-30 week mark and was fine. Only (minor) issue was that it happened to be my first experience with cankles, too, from walking so much. 

    Have fun on your trip!

  • I travelled from 26-28 weeks across country when I was pregnant with O.  It was actually a pretty good time to travel.  Just get up and move around a lot on the plane.  If you can get some compression socks, do that!  Drink lots of water and most of all have fun!
  • We made a 14 hour drive at 28 weeks...I did okay as long as I got out and walked around.

  • Have fun. And remember we're a mile high, so you need to drink a lot more water than normal.
  • You should be fine.  Like other people said, just get up and walk around when you can to get the blood moving.  My doctor said flying up until 34 weeks would be fine for me (I guess it depends on the pregnancy, but it sounds similar).
