Travel During 3rd Trimester
|
My family has been planning a big theme park vacation for over a year now. We had already been to a travel agent and all the park packages and airfares are paid before I found out I was pregnant. I didn't give it much thought early on, but now I'm worried that I shouldn't be going. There is a lot of walking and flying involved. Is it safe to travel during your third trimester?

Of course it is safe but you have to have a medical certificate from your doctor about this. No airline will allow you on board without any certification from your doctor. And walking is a great help for pregnant woman so it is just okay and safe. Have a full check up before going airborne. Don't forget your insurance card, in case.

Airlines will not let you fly after 36 weeks or 32 weeks if carrying twins. Past 28 weeks and some airlines require a letter from your Dr to confirm that you are safe to travel. Make sure that if you are travelling you are well prepared and get up and walk around and exercise your legs while on the plane to avoid deep vein thrombosis.

Not very safe.Even you need to fly , you should not have a lot of long and tired walk, and try not to physically ruined yourself.
Mark on your map the hospitals are int the near in case you need some medical attention to know where to look for.
take care and happy vacation!

While traveling by car, bus, or train is considered safe, travel by plane can be a little complicated.
The experts say that it is safe to fly up to 36 weeks unless you are experiencing a high risk pregnancy, carrying multiples, or have other complications such as vaginal bleeding, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
A lot has to do with the airlines as well. Some will restrict a pregnant woman from flying a week, even 30 days prior to their delivery date.
You should discuss your plans with your doctor, and if he or she clears you for flight, ensure that you have a doctors note with your expected due date noted to avoid any disputes at the airport (as long as you are in compliance with their rules and regulations).
In addition, have your doctor provide you with a list of midwives or doctors in or around your destination, and bring along a list of emergency contact numbers, as well as your bag for the hospital - just in case.

Travelling during 3rd trimester is very risky according to the doctors. But pregnant women on this stage can still travel as long as you don't have any history of miscarriage. You can travel but not on a very long distance travel. Before you travel be sure that you're in good health condition.
