Travelling by Plane in Third Trimester


I will be travelling to my home country at the beginning of week 34 to give birth there eventually and feel a bit scared. The airline said it's fine as long as I have a doctors certificate. Will I fit in those seats? Will my baby be uncomfortable? I just hope everything goes fine. Has anyone travelled by plane during their third trimester or knows of a friend who has done this?

Hi, i am strictly talking out of being a qualified cabin crew member, it is fine to fly as long as your doctor approves you flying.

Yes you will fit in the seat i had some big men fly and they fitted perfectly.

But i wanted to find out what is the duration of flight from destination to destination??????

Perfect business class, i agree isle seat aswell.
Keep your feet up as much as possible, cause they might get a bit puffy and very loose and comfy shoes, and try walking around the aircraft.

You should be fine. Stop stressing.

Make sure you get up every hour at LEAST and walk around. Drink LOTS of water and also, if you can stand them, I would get some compression socks to help with the swelling.
