Interesting. All these while I thought it wasn't safe for pregnant women to fly. This post proves otherwise. Nice read.

I agree with you. Seat selection is everything. I don't even mind paying a little extra if I can get more legroom. It is also ideal to be near the toilets.

You have covered all the main points for travelling by air while pregnant. That is a great tip to wear compression socks! I also agree that travelling during the second trimester is probably the safest.

compression socks were the only thing my ob/gyn told me when I asked for a flight. I didn't have any issues during the flight but during the trip I felt my gut condition got worse (I'm prone to not being able to and most of pregnant women are prone to it and change of weather, food and time zone might lead to issues), thankfully the second thing my ob/gyn told me when I asked about the flights and vacation were tips on how naturally help your guts so I felt very calm when it happen. I agree: first trimester and possible nausea are not idea for trips, while second trimester is the best for it, especially the earlier part when I don't have much of a belly yet

So many of these tips are useful for anyone flying. I totally wear my compression socks on long flights, and move around as much as possible.

Traveling while pregnant has a major advantage in that you are not having to deal with a crying baby or sick baby on the flight.

I’m not pregnant but I have ppl around who are. I find this very helpful. When I was pregnant I would definitely be happy for an article like that. And I have to say that you thought ahead a lot of, not everyone realises even the tiny things that can give you such a relief as a pregnant woman.

These are all very helpful tips! Especially getting up and stretching your legs whenever possible to help prevent blood clots. Thanks for sharing.
