I think @mrsjyw said you can change your username once... right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569403 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:42:14 +0000 Periwinkle 569403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I traveled internationally at 27 weeks and it was fine! I had a doctors note just in case and it never even came up. Any time after about 34 weeks is when I think doctors prefer for you not to travel by plane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569397 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:37:04 +0000 LindsayInNY 569397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: Reveal here or reveal elsewhere?! Thing is, some user names aren't so discrete (aka me, LOL). I "knew" you well enough to suspect from the name anyways though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569394 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:32:56 +0000 swedishfish 569394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be flying on Monday at exactly 23 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569367 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:12:50 +0000 lawbee11 569367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you can fly as long as your doctor says it's ok, but I personally wouldn't fly after 30 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569345 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:05:23 +0000 BSB 569345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read that airlines (and thought dr, too) didn't want you flying in your 3rd trimester.</p> <p>It great to hear that there are Drs that allow you to fly past that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569332 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:00:37 +0000 kjpugs 569332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: LOL thanks friend! I just can't wait til I can "reveal" myself haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569331 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:59:33 +0000 mrsjyw 569331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: um just wanted to say I'm totally excited fr ur appt ;))) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569307 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:37:47 +0000 kjpugs 569307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I'm hoping when he finds out he'll understand why I've been pestering him! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569304 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:36:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 569304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: Oh yeah, I think you can wait til Tues. My midwife didn't see me until 8 weeks and I wouldn't have wanted to go that long, but a long weekend is no big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569282 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:22:03 +0000 lemondrop 569282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I flew at 31 weeks, the trip there was fine, I got pretty uncomfortable on the way back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569277 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:19:22 +0000 kjpugs 569277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: we go on Tuesday so I'm going to tell him right away on Tuesday... hopefully that won't be too late if he's still deciding, but really it is his day! You decide to get married within 6 months of your engagement you can't be picky, that's for sure. I had my FX for June though... June in Chicago is fabulous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569273 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:17:44 +0000 Dandelion 569273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I flew at I think 26 weeks with my son. It wasn't an issue. I wasn't large enough for it to be a real hassle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569270 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:15:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 569270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My midwife said I could fly as long as the airlines would let me (around 35-ish weeks) but I personally don't want to. I do think at 27 weeks you should be OK though. I'll be flying for work at 22 weeks and that will probably be my last flight, but that's just how my schedule worked out.</p> <p>When do you see the midwife? I'd want to tell my brother soon, before he makes any plans, even if it is a little earlier than I would tell normally. If he is still deciding on dates, he might take that into account and try for something earlier. If it was my wedding, I'd like to know so I could try and make sure you were there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569258 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:09:49 +0000 BKCaribBaby 569258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I flew at 27-28 weeks but it was a 2.5 hour direct flight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569237 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:56:37 +0000 plantains 569237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to England at 33 weeks and had a great time. No problem whatsoever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569231 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:55:02 +0000 Alivoo01 569231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you can fly pretty much up until you give birth (given a healthy bill of record), but they recommend you stay close to home starting at week 37 in case you go into labor early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569225 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:54:09 +0000 Bookish 569225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be flying at 31 weeks in May to Vegas :) A lot of the bees have great advice and reassurance, many of them traveled in the 3rd trimester! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569224 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:53:20 +0000 mediagirl 569224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You "can" as long as your OB or midwife says they are comfortable with you, imo. I flew up to 32 weeks at work and that last time I traveled was pretty rotten. I was tired and sore and hated having to find the bathrooms in strange buildings. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569220 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:51:55 +0000 matador84 569220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I traveled at 34 weeks. That was it for me. I had approval from my doctor. Anything after that I couldn't travel even remotely comfortably, even a car ride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-into-pregnancy-candid-you-travel-on-a-plane#post-569210 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:48:29 +0000 kjpugs 569210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5w4d and our siblings don't know yet... BIL is very close with us and was talking about May or June for his wedding but now is thinking July 21... I'd be about 27 weeks I think? I'd have to fly (or spend a full day in the car--&gt; Florida to Illinois) and really want to attend, not sure if I should plan to be disappointed?</p> <p>I'll ask my doctor on Tuesday, but just wanted to check with you all. Also I know complications can arise to restrict travel, FX that won't happen but I'm prepared that it's a possibility no matter WHEN we want/have to travel. </p>
