Traveling while pregnant

[Redstiletto]

So Dennis (hubby) and I finally decided on our honeymoon. I know, a little late right

But we live up in Cold Wisconsin and we are going to Warm Daytona Beach Florida! For 5days

But my question is, is anyone else traveling during their pregancy? I will be just about 7 months pregnant when we are planning on going, and I got it okayed by my doctor and I have to take special precautions and I have to get a copy of my medical records and stuff to take with me and I get to take water on the flight with me! And I have to get up and walk around halfway through the flight and fun stuff like that...

But is anyone else trying to vacation before the baby comes?

I did before my first daughter was born, we flew down to GA to visit my family. Just to let you know, baby will get really active during take off and landing, at least mine did and she rarely moved.

BTW I have been married almost 3.5 years and have yet to take a honeymoon, lol.

we are wanting to go see my parents, but probly won't because I am getting closer everyday, and I am still a little high risk because of my previous pregnancies... we'd be going when I was like 38 weeks... so nope not going anywhere anytime soon

We've been to MS once (from VA) and we drove. This Thursday we're driving back down for hubby's interview, then we'll go down again when we move. I'm tired just thinking about that part.

I know that i'm not as far along but when i was 15 weeks i went away and it was fine.

As long as the airline agree to you flying and the doctor says its ok then you should be fine.

WE're not sure what we are going yet. We may be going away for a few days at the end of april - so i'll be 27 weeks but if we do we'll be driving

My husband and I went on a nice getaway to Daytona Beach when I was about 5 almost 6 months preggers. It was fine, I felt great then. It's really not to bad flying when your pregnant other than having to use the restroom frequently .

O and btw, I used to live in Florida and I wanted to highly recommend you and your husband try the best seafood restaurant out there, Norwoods. It's about 20 mins from Daytona right in New Smyrna. It's AMAZING!

Hubby and I went to Orlando when I was seven months along...I was fine and it was fun!

I flew at 7 months...I had very long flights and was just fine, but I was SO hungry. I gained a bunch of weight on my trip.

 

[Redstiletto]

ITs about a three hour flight, but we are breaking int into two flights, because we will be stopping in GA on the way, so I am thinking, eat before we go, take a water bottle, relax on the flight, then in GA walk around, eat again (just a snack) beause we have about an hour and half inbetween and then hop back on the plane and fly to FL!

That's not too bad at all. I had a 7 hour flight and a 9 hour one. Definitely make sure you drink lots of water to help reduce any swelling and be sure to get up and walk around when you're able to
