Travel during Second Trimester ( 4 to 7months)

Hi,
Can we get extra fruits in case if we can't eat the food they give us in flights. With the changed rules I think we can't take any food with us (except baby food). Earlier, once when I asked for additional fruits (I wasn't pregnant then), they said they don't carry any additional fruits or food.
Being pregnant, I don't when I can eat certain foods and when I can not.

So do they provide additional fruits at least to pregnant women? Or do we need to ask for it before boarding or something like that? Please share ur experiences. How do u deal with food during flight travel.

thanks,

Hi,

I went to India for delivery at 28 weeks. I carried some biscuits only. British airways staff were very helpful and gave me additional juice and guess it was luck i got additional snack (sandwich). But I'm not sure how it is with airlines from US. In general you can eat the normal airline food and they'll not deny additional fluids if you ask. If you're pregnant I don't think the immigration will stop you from carrying some biscuits etc., as well.

Hi Subha,

Take break inbetween of your journey. Have safe journey. Enjoy your trip.

Take care.

Thanks Usha....Any chance to meet u there ?

It is safe travel during second trisemester and be back by the starting of third trisemester(like 7th month).Consult your gynaec also regarding your health condition and travel .

Drink lot of juices,fluids and walk around so that you don't sit in one place for more than 1 hr.
