Pregnant for 50 days, can" fly" ?

Q. need to fly oversea due to work, will the air presure dangerous
for pregnent lady, 50 days still a unstable stage, any advise?

Answer
You are safe to travel by plane up until the end portion of your last trimester as long as you and your pregnancy are healthy and the pregnancy is progressing normally.

I traveled internationally this summer while pregnant (still have the return trip to do). I left when I was 13 weeks and will return when I am around 30 weeks. I have also traveled internationally with my first two pregnancies (my children are now 7&5).

You should get a check-up from your doctor to make sure you are in fit enough health to fly. Most airlines will not require a note from your doctor this early on in your pregnancy, but it is always best to verify that beforehand.


FAA Airline regulations state :

Obstetrical patients are free to fly, but pose a significant risk in later stages of precipitating delivery during flight. Pregnancy past 32 weeks should be carefully considered for restriction from flight and must be accompanied with an authorization note from a doctor. Those past 36 weeks should be prohibited from flying unless personally accompanied by their doctor. (Taken from my husbands flight security and survival manual & FAA site) http://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/designees_delegations/designee_types/ame/media/Section%20II.7.1%20Transportation%20of%20Patients%20by%20Airline.doc

All airlines make up their own rules and regulations regarding pregnant women. Some do not restrict travel at all, no matter what stage of pregnancy a women is in, and others start to restrict at 7 months, although the majority restrict around 36 weeks.

Please note that while airline regulations do not prohibit flying while pregnant, and even if you brings a doctors note, the final decision is entirely up to the Captain (who will be informed by the gate crew of your status).

While traveling I advise you to keep your medical records, and the name and number of your doctor. You should also get the name and number of a doctor where you will be staying/visiting in case an emergency comes up.

To keep yourself safe and comfortable on the trip, follow these simple things:

*drink plenty of water
*avoid caffeine
*don't eat food that causes gas for at least one day before you travel (pressure builds up as you ascend through the altitudes and could cause pain)
*walk around as much as you can (up and down the aisles)
*stretch while sitting
*wear loose fitting clothing
*wear slip on shoes (your feet may swell)
*wear maternity support pantyhose or socks
*try to get an aisle seat or a front row seat for more leg room
*eat light foods
*eat small meals or snacks at frequent intervals rather than big heavy meals
*do not eat salt
*ask for a seat belt extender (depending on how big you are) and wear it just under your abdomen, or wear a normal seat belt just under your abdomen
*relax

maybe pregnant at age 50?

lil bit

Maybe I am Pregnant at age 50?
Like mentioned, I am a 50 year old sexually active female who still gets my period. My periods are irregular at times.....cycles are sometimes longer/shorter and periods sometimes heavier/lighter than usual. I am about 5 days late with period, breasts sore, vomited once, occasionally nauseaus, dizzy, more flatulence. But pregnancy tests x 2 were negative. Maybe I will wait another week and see???
Yes, definately thought about menopause - it's just the vomiting and breast tenderness is unusual.....both "out of the blue" If still negative pregnancy test in a week, will chalk it up to menopause.....thanks!

Answer
if you're pregnant, have the baby. why?
remember: an aborted kid goes to hell for 33 years. also, mother's chances of going into paradise are decreased.
so, if i were you, i'd have the baby.
don't worry about miscarriages. if the baby is not aborted on purpose, he/she goes to paradise.
also, read "Psalm 26" to calm down (link and instructions below).
