Its only going to be about 1 1/2 hours but then ive got a 4 to 5 hour train travel after. if id have found out earlier id have booked flights all the way or not at all. can some one put my mind at ease or give me some tips?
Flying when pregnant

Flying when pregnant

  Air travel is perfectly safe in pregnancies and most airlines will allow you to fly through your eighth month assuming you’re not high-risk – any later than this and you may need written permission from your OB-GYN or nurse-midwife.   When you book your ticket, check airline policy with your travel agent or check the airline website to find out – and factor in your return date too, to ensure it falls within the time you’ll be permitted to fly.   It may seem unlikely, but a . . .

My OH's family don't speak english either! haha

Gets hard once you have the baby and you can't talk to them! I still get nervous in case they are saying that I'm doing something wrong with my son - though they are all so nice that I doubt it.

I bet they will be just as excited as you are!

You should be fine as long as you make sure you stretch your legs often and drink plenty of water.

I flew all the way to Australia and 33 weeks pregnant and although uncomfortable it wasn't unbearable.

Hope you have a great holiday!
