Questions & Answers

I took a four hour flight at 24 weeks. They only thing I would recommend when traveling is to get up frequently. I had really bad swelling in my legs and feet. I got up several times but you can only move around so much in an airplane. You are not very far along so probably wont be an issue for you. Just keep that in mind, if you travel later on in your pregnancy.

Perfectly safe. On a interesting side note, however, I remember when I was about 26-28 weeks pregnant with my first, I had to travel (by car) about 7 hrs from home. My OB said I had to stop every 2 hrs or so (which wasn't a big deal bc I normally had to pee by then) to get out and stretch my legs to prevent blood clots. If you do end up traveling later in pregnancy, that may be something to keep in mind.

Absolutely safe. Just make sure wherever you are going you can access medical care just in case you need it. (map out an immediate care facility within a short distance for safe measures) But there is no medical reason why you couldn't travel this early in pregnancy.....only very late in pregnancy the doctors warn you against any travel (by air).

Perfectly safe! There is absolutely nothing a doctor could do at this point if something were to go wrong. After the 12 week if you're high risk they suggest you not going more than a few hours away from your doctor just in case something happens and they need to stop a minor bleed from becoming major or if you were to m/c or something. The reason they don't want you to travel later in the pregnancy is that if something did go wrong you would be too far away for YOUR doc to help who would obviously know most about your pregnancy and could help you best. No worries at this point whatsoever, enjoy your travels!!

It's perfectly fine. The only thing doctors worry about is flying after 30 weeks . Have fun :)
