If you plan to fly....

I'm flying soon, and remembered this. Thought some of you might be able to benefit from my experience...
I had to do a lot of traveling when I was pregnant with DS. My last flight was at 34 weeks.
I got off the plane and headed to the ladies room. After peeing more than I thought was humanly possible, I flushed and washed my hands. Before I even got to the paper towels, my pants were soaking wet. I was convinced my water broke.
We went straight to the OB. Turns out the pressure changes during a flight can cause you to not feel bladder pressure when you're pregnant.
So, if you're flying, remember to force yourself to pee throughout your flight. Otherwise you may end up walking to your husband at the luggage carousel in soaking wet pee pants.

DVT is a risk when flying pregnant, so even if you're not worried about being Captain Pee Pants, mKe sure you walk and pee. Your OB will say this when you tell him/her you're traveling.
