6 weeks - should I go on holiday?

[VR1]

This is my first pregnancy. I am around six weeks, and for the past week I have felt constantly sick and exhausted. I am struggling to even get out of bed and eat anything.

I am supposed to be going on holiday in two weeks time and I am now wondering if I should cancel.

The holiday has been booked for a while.. I am visiting family that I haven't seen for four years and then celebrating my ten year anniversary with my partner..

Is it even safe to fly at approx 8 weeks?

If I do go is there anything I could do to help my feel better while I'm on holiday?

I guess my big worry about cancelling is having to tell people why .. I am definitely not ready to tell anyone I am pregnant...

And if I don't go it might be too late to see my grandma, she is very elderly and I don't think has much time left ...

Really don't know what to do! Any advice would be amazing xx

Personally I'd go. I have flown when 35 weeks pregnant and found it absolutely fine and I definitely wouldn't have though twice about flying early on, but I'm fairly relaxed in that sense.

I think if your up to it and comfortable with it then go but obviously if your not then don't, you'll only end up feeling anxious if your not totally comfortable flying.

Go! I’ve flown multiple times in both my pregnancies, of course it’s safe. Call your GP and ask about anti sickness medication, it can be prescribed.

How long is the flight?
I’d personally still go, I felt crap regardless of where I was in the 1st trimester so I don’t think you’d feel any worse going away. I’d just recommend taking it easy and resting when you need to.

Yes it’s safe to fly. I’d try to workout what (If anything) makes you feel a bit better in the next 2 weeks. For me I had to eat a few crackers as soon as I woke up. And then small regular meals. It didn’t cure it but felt a bit more human if I did this.
If your sickness is really bad speak to your GP about anti sickness tablets they might help.

Go, especially if there are people you want to see. It might even help. I always felt dreadful in early pregnancy, but having things to do at least kept my mind off it a bit.
