I'm undertaking an 8 hour return flight at 25/27 weeks. Can you get these on prescription? Also which are best?
Any moral support about the flight would be very welcomed. I'm regretting booking it and worrying I'm going to harm the baby Hmm

Hi fraggle, I flew later than this llong haul and all was fine. Remember to walk around lots and drink lots of water.

The boots airside had plenty of compression socks and these worked great.

If you are that worried though, maybe check with your MW and make sure she is happy with you going.

Oh and have a great trip!

Hi,
I know these are expensive, but these have been my best pregnancy buy yet. I work on my feet all day so I wanted compression (flight) tights. Once they are on they do not feel tight at all and I really notice a difference on a day where I don't wear them (achy legs etc)

Have fun...

By the way, I meant to say, please don't worry you will be fine!
