    Re: Travel during Second Trimester ( 4 to 7months)

    Hi,
    Can we get extra fruits in case if we can't eat the food they give us in flights. With the changed rules I think we can't take any food with us (except baby food). Earlier, once when I asked for additional fruits (I wasn't pregnant then), they said they don't carry any additional fruits or food.
    Being pregnant, I don't when I can eat certain foods and when I can not.

    So do they provide additional fruits at least to pregnant women? Or do we need to ask for it before boarding or something like that? Please share ur experiences. How do u deal with food during flight travel.

    thanks,

    Hi,

    I went to India for delivery at 28 weeks. I carried some biscuits only. British airways staff were very helpful and gave me additional juice and guess it was luck i got additional snack (sandwich). But I'm not sure how it is with airlines from US. In general you can eat the normal airline food and they'll not deny additional fluids if you ask. If you're pregnant I don't think the immigration will stop you from carrying some biscuits etc., as well.

    Re: Pls help on Air Travel in 9 th week pregnancy.

    Hi Pinky,

    I love the jet airways..the staff is very friendly...and the planes are new and clean..good movies...individual screen behind the seats..do ask for the aisle or the front one that will give you more leg space..

    all the best :)

    Re: im 12 weeks pregnant

    hi snehalata,
    welcome to IL...air travel during first trimester of pregnancy has already been discussed in a thread in the "i'm pregnant" subforum in the pregnancy, labour and delivery forum...you may check that out...from my personal experience, i have done air travel around that time of pregnancy without any problems..mine was even longer flight time from belgium to chennai...
    consult a gyny for advice in any case...HK to india travel can be done with a stop over at kualalumpur, bangkok or singapore for your convenience...if you have nausea, it could be little uncomfortable travelling but otherwise should be OK...dont worry..
    all the best!
