Safe to fly at 9 weeks pregnant ?!

[indigo277]

Hey

I am due to go on holiday in half term when I'll be around 9 weeks pregnant ... is this ok?
The flight is about 4 hours with an hour break in between then the same again on the way home?
Should I be worried will this be ok?

Absolutely zero issues with that

Yes.

The usual cut off is28 weeks

Had trips/holidays at 12 (3hr), 16 (6hr) & 24 (12hr) weeks. 25w now, all is well. Midwife was absolutely unfazed.

It's completely safe in terms of the pregnancy but it can be a bad time for sickness for some women

Im flying at 9 weeks and spoke to the midwife about it - she was completely unfazed by it and said it’s absolutely fine. My biggest worry is just feeling sick!

Not even slightly an issue.

I'm also going away in half term when I'll be 24 weeks! Haven't even spoken to my midwife about it. Airlines don't require a fit to fly letter until 28 weeks, and at 9 weeks they won't even notice you're pregnant. The only thing to consider is sickness may have kicked in by then, which could make flying uncomfortable, but it's not a given that you'll get this symptom.

I don't find out I was pregnant until later than that and flew a few times.

Yes it's perfectly fine.

It's fine, as pp said I would've felt like absolute crap at 9 weeks but no other issues. I flew at around 34 weeks pregnant and was able to go to the front of the queue at security on the way home 👍

I went to the States on a 12 hour flight at 12 weeks and was absolutely fine! I was worried about sickness - just bring enough snacks and make sure you stretch your legs :)
