    Re: Air travel in first trimester

    Hi Naha,

    First of all Congrats!!!!! Yes I have travelled with my first child from India to US. It was a little hectic for me since I did it alone without my hubby. I was sick to my stomach because of air travel added to my morning sickness. But nothing can be done about it. The only thing you should be careful is not to lift any of your luggage but ask for help. I had a tough time not in India but as I got closer to US people would not help at all. I cannot think of anything more as it has been a while. Good luck with your travel and do ask for help may be there will sure be a good soul.
    Love,

    Re: is it safe to air travel in early pregnancy

    Hi Siri,

    Congratulations...

    I travelled from US to India when I was 3 months and I returned back to the US again when I was 5 months. I had no issues, except that my legs were swelling a little.

    You need to take lots of water as mentioned by Padma and also try to walk in the flight at regular intervals.


    Take care and have a safe trip to India.

    Keerthi

    Maybe not so elder… ;)


    If doctor said is ok then you have nothing to worry about.
    Just remember as girls said before - to drink lots of water and walk between, don’t stay at your chair too long, do some exercise, stretching…
    I travelled to <st1:country-region><st1:place>UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> in my early pregnancy (2 mths) and it was ok.

    Travel during pregnancy

    hi friends

    I am Rakshantha. I am pregnant with my second child now(2 months). My first kid is a daughter she is 2 and 1/2 years old. I had a C-section in my first delivery.

    Currently I am in Japan and I am facing a problem. I am worried about going back to India. Many websites quote that the 2 trimester is the best time to travel. The problem is I hav to travel with my 2 -1/2 year old daughter. My husband cannot accompany me and I cannot hav my delivery in Japan.

    Does anyone of you hav such experience. If so please reply it would be a confidence booster for me. And please give me some tips. Can I travel alone in 6 or 7th month with my daughter.

    Regards
    Rakshantha
