Can i fly at 32 weeks


I am going to talk to my doc about this one at my next apt june 15...i am assuming answer will be no. I just found out my oh cousin is getting married in end of july. it would be a short flight, but i know with twins 32 weeks may be pushing it. anyone else flown while pregnant?

Hiya hun,
The doc will say your safe to fly at 32 wks if all is well with a pregnancy but with twins actually coming earlier i don't think he would allow it, it's also down to the air line as to their rules on how far you have to be & a lot say 32 wks some 34 weeks.
I'd check with the airline before going docs then you can tell him if the airline say yes , There is a much greater risk of dvt during pregnancy & tbh hun being 32wks preg with twins at the time of the flight i wouldn't risk it.

xx

My OB didn't even want me leaving the state for a wedding at 24 weeks. I ended up going anyway. We drove but he said flying was definitely out of the question past that point. I think it just depends on your pregnancy though...everyone is different.
