Traveling by plane during pregnancy?

Pregnant women are often found in dilemma when it comes to travel during pregnancies especially if they have to board flight. Its really difficult to decide when to travel and when not , what to carry and what to do . Dr Manoj Chellani, Gynecologist &IVF expert, Aayush ICSI Test Tube Baby Center, Raipur, Chhattisgarh unveils answers to all your curiosity related to travelling while pregnant.

DR MANOJ CHELLANI, IVF EXPERT

According to him the best time to fly might be in the middle of your pregnancy — about weeks 14 to 28. This is when you're likely to feel your best, and the risks of miscarriage and premature labor are the lowest. Restrict travel of any type after 36 weeks of pregnancy.

Flying during pregnancy can slightly increase your risk of thrombosis (blood clots) and varicose veins. Wearing support stockings (not tights, which increase your risk of developing thrush),) when you fly will help keep your circulation flowing and relieve swollen veins. It's also possible to buy knee-high socks which are specially designed for flying.

 For maximum protection, put the stockings or socks on before you get out of bed in the morning and keep them on all day.  Use of support stockings and periodic movement of the lower extremities, avoidance of restrictive clothing, occasional ambulation, and maintenance of adequate hydration.

Because severe air turbulence cannot be predicted and the subsequent risk for trauma is significant should this occur, pregnant women should be instructed to use their seatbelts continuously while seated. The seatbelt should be belted low on the hipbones, between the protuberant abdomen and pelvis. Several precautions may ease discomfort for pregnant air travelers. For example, gas-producing foods or drinks should be avoided before scheduled flights because entrapped gases expand at altitude Preventive anti-emetic medication should be considered for women with increased nausea.

Air travel during pregnancy needs careful consideration. It is worth considering:

- How important is your journey? Is it vital for work or personal reasons, or is it for recreation?

- What type of flight are you planning? Is it a long-haul or a short-hop flight? (Longer journeys have greater implications during pregnancy)

- What likely medical facilities will be available at your destination? Will they be adequate if problems arise with your pregnancy?

- Does the country have infectious diseases that require vaccinations? (If so, you will need to discuss the benefits and risks of these vaccinations for yourself and your baby)

 If you have to travel by air, the middle three months of pregnancy are the safest and most comfortable ones to fly.
