Travelling during pregnancy

Big reason not to fly

Just thought I'd let you know, as magazines etc. say the 2nd trimester is the ideal time to have a last holiday, that I went on a 2 hour flight a week ago and found that it was unbearable! Between sitting in the uncomfy chair with a bump, calf cramps and changes in pressure suddenly causing air sickness (new to me!)I'd say don't try it unless you really have to!

and i was no worse than normal on the flight. i had an extra leg room seat, on the aisle. i drunk lots of water, and walked around a lot.
i think everyone is different.

I travelled at 18 weeks without any issues.
