Can I take a plane when I'm pregnant?

Airports have become very common in modern daily life. Many people take an airport at least once in their lifetime, and some people even take an airport several times a month. The airport is very convenient, and it has not been said to be unsafe since its development. For women in early pregnancy, can they take a flight in early pregnancy?

There is no big problem with traveling in the early stages of pregnancy, but it is recommended not to overwork or carry heavy weights. If necessary, you can also do a basic check before traveling to understand whether there are any obvious conditions that are not suitable for traveling, such as bleeding, abdominal pain, etc. Pregnant women are able to fly in the early stages of pregnancy. However, after 28 weeks of pregnancy, it is best for pregnant women not to fly.

Because the aircraft is at a high altitude, there will be a certain pressure difference inside and outside the engine compartment. For pregnant women who are pregnant for more than 28 weeks, because there is more amniotic fluid in the uterus at this time, the uterus has great support, and the pressure difference can easily cause premature rupture of amniotic fluid and premature birth. In severe cases, it may even cause placental abruption, seriously endangering the lives of adults and children. In addition, there are no professional doctors on the plane, and the medical equipment is not as good as that in a regular hospital. In the event of a premature birth on the plane, it is difficult for the pregnant woman and the baby to receive professional medical care, which is very easy to cause other accidents. Therefore, you need to avoid overexertion and be able to take a flight. Remember to have regular prenatal checkups.

First of all, you should choose a location close to the corridor as much as possible to facilitate standing up and moving around, and stand up and walk every hour on the plane to promote blood circulation in your arms and legs. You can also do some simple exercises, such as flexing and extending your arms, rotating your feet, and wearing loose clothes and flat shoes. Bring extra clothes to prevent temperature changes. You can also order meals that suit your taste, or prepare some food yourself in advance to prevent the food on the plane from not being to your liking. Finally, be sure to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration or vomiting.
