Air travel in first trimester

hi friends

I am Rakshantha. I am pregnant with my second child now(2 months). My first kid is a daughter she is 2 and 1/2 years old. I had a C-section in my first delivery.

Currently I am in Japan and I am facing a problem. I am worried about going back to India. Many websites quote that the 2 trimester is the best time to travel. The problem is I hav to travel with my 2 -1/2 year old daughter. My husband cannot accompany me and I cannot hav my delivery in Japan.

Does anyone of you hav such experience. If so please reply it would be a confidence booster for me. And please give me some tips. Can I travel alone in 6 or 7th month with my daughter.

Regards
Rakshantha

Dear Rakshantha, Hearty congratulations! Don't worry about travelling with child when u r 6th or 7th month. I have seen many ladies travelling and it should not be a problem.. THere will be always airhostesses and co passengers to help u out when u r in air travel. that too when u r pregnant they would definitely help. so donot worry about these trivial matters. Take care of your health, eat well and pray to God, everything would be fine.

Wish u all the best.

Thanks for ur reply. May be harmones causing depression are working overtime in my body:mad: I am not able to enjoy my pregnancy. And I am brooding over these matters.

Any ways my confidence meter is sure growing up. Thanks once again.

dear friend,
travelling during 1st trimester is considered safest.only ,if u r having morning sickness it may increase.get a check up & a certificate to show that u can travel.all the best.

Hi congrats on ur pregnancy. it is safe to travel during ur 1st trimester. but please check with ur doc. only he knows ur case n will be in the best position to guide. Also be aware that it will be very tiring for you. Do not lift any weight.All the best.

Hello,

thanks a lot to your reply sowmi,mahajanpragathi and priya , since i am staying in english non speaking country.It is difficult to communicate with doctors, i could only confirm about pregnancy but couldn't undergo general checkup i.e is the reason i am travelling to back to india. I don't have morning sickness and i am not carrying any luggage except water bottles and food. I hope god helps me.

hey!!!
I travelled 24 hrs from NY to Chennai during my 13th week.As long as your are healthy,I think there is nothing to worry.
Anyways consult the doctor.
Have a safe journey

i too travelled at this time... i came from india to chicago... almost same sort of timing... just be confirmed u have all ur needy medicines especially for vomiting and stomach pain...
try wearing a comfortable outfit... n keep ur handy food ... wht u like it to eat.. it may happen u were able to eat earlier all that flight food but this time it may b tough for u ... take all ur check up files n reports.. u may need them in india... when u ll consult a doc over there....
humm dont have food which do gas problem before u r going... it will b tough for u .. n bye chance if u have any probs like that do have a medicine... u will b relaxed a lot...

well have a very safe journey... n then a safe pregnancy
