Long haul air travel on last trimester
Hello
Has anyone done any long haul travels (over 12 hours) in their last trimester?
I am planning to travel from AMS to SUB when I am about 28 weeks along, returning on week 30.
Due to work arrangements, this is the earliest I can go.
Can anyone share any tips? How uncomfortable it is for you?
I will depart on J class, returning on F class with SQ if it helps

I flew in Y when I was 30 weeks pregnant and didn't have any problems. This was a 5 hour flight.
You need to check the airlines you want to travel with as to how far gone you can be when flying with them. I wouldn't really recommend flying long haul in Y in third semester, but if you are otherwise healthy it shouldn't be a problem.

I flew LH F when I was 28 weeks with my DH and 17 month old DD. The pregnant part wasn't so bad, the toddler was obnoxious. I would only do it if you are in J or F so you can get your feet up.
At week 32-33, I wouldn't push it. My doctor knows I travel a lot and we had a really great conversation about it. Basically, you don't know what will happen, so you could go into labor over the ocean (worst case scenario) with no where to land in time or have a baby in a foreign country. He cleared me at week 28 to go to Europe knowing I was flying in first class with pregnancy number 2 but did not clear me at week 34 to go to Hawaii with my first pregnancy.
