Safety precautions for flying while pregnant

In a normal, healthy pregnancy there is no reason not to travel by air, in a pressurised cabin.  Healthcare professionals will recommend you take extra precautions such as;

• staying well hydrated
• moving around the cabin
• avoiding salty or gas-producing foods
• keep the seat belt low on the hipbone

For more general pregnancy travel advice see our pregnancy travel advice home page.

A note on pressurised cabins

One big air travel consideration is whether the cabin is pressurised.  Not an issue at all on large, commercially operated airlines. However, if you need to catch a light aircraft (say to that remote tropical island retreat for your Babymoon, right?) then you need to understand the impact of cabin pressure on your body while pregnant. You can read more on this topic here.

Important Note: Whilst we are experienced travellers, we are not medical experts. Any health concerns during pregnancy should always be discussed with a qualified medical practitioner. Use any health information you find on the web as advisory only!!

How far along can I fly?

This will really depend on your individual pregnancy and airline.  In a multiple pregnancy (where earlier arrival is common) most airlines have a different set of rules, usually restricting flight 4 weeks earlier than single pregnancies. Most airlines will start restricting air travel during your final trimester – around 28 weeks.

See more below on what to do if you do go into labour mid-flight.

Women who suffer badly with morning sickness might find it too much during the first trimester. Consider this too when planning air travel – as someone who has travelled with HG I can tell you it’s among the most unpleasant feelings in life and best avoided if possible!  This post goes into a lot more depth on flying with morning sickness.

What is a doctors letter for flying pregnant?

The exact name of this document varies by airline, but a doctor’s note (or could be a midwife, health care professional) is a statement of your health and ability to fly while pregnant.

As you’ll see in the comparison chart below, most airlines do not require you to fly with one until the later part of your pregnancy – usually after 28 weeks.  However, better safe than sorry, we recommend from 20 weeks onwards you always travel with one in case you are stopped and questioned.

When you are provided with this letter, REQUEST THAT THE DATES ARE WRITTEN OUT IN FULL.  Remember that 10/12/18 and 12/10/18  can make a very big difference in your due date! Have important dates written in the format “10 December 2018” to prevent any international confusion.

Also, check in the table below if your airline has a specific form that needs filling in and submitting in advance (usually referred to as a MEDIF) or whether a signed and stamped doctors letter presented to ground staff will suffice. English is usually recognised internationally, but if you are flying a foreign airline do check if they have any specific language or translation requirements.

Pregnancy comfort while flying long-haul

There are a few items I have used flying over three pregnancies and discussed with many other flying mums what they would recommend.  Here are our top 5 items we recommend you look into to improve your comfort travelling pregnant.

Coccyx pillow – help your bottom on those longer flights. I suffered back pain through all my pregnancies and found this really helpful for long journeys.

Compression Socks – No matter what cabin you’re in on the plane, we strongly recommend using compression socks when flying pregnant.  They help promote blood circulation and oxygen flow to avoid blood clots (DVT).

Jill and Joey pregnancy wedge pillow – I’m not a fan of packing more than you need but I know how uncomfortable sleeping can be when pregnant.  Although long-haul flights will come with airline issued cushions, you will find these aren’t thick enough.  We like this one as it comes with a travel bag but there are other equivalent products, best of all you can still use it at your destination too.

Plane leg pillow – we talk about these a lot with children’s flying comfort but there’s no reason some of these products can’t be used for grown-ups too (Note some airlines have banned the use of leg devices; Where these airlines are known we have included in this post).

Collapsible water bottle – good no spill, no pressure bottle, fill this in the airport once you’re past security so you’re not hanging out for the crew to offer you a pathetic little cup every few hours.

Most importantly, I recommend treating yourself.  Especially if this is your first, why not use some points or pay a little extra to upgrade to premium economy or business?  That little extra wiggle room can make a lot of difference to your comfort especially on an ultra long haul.

Rules flying with a newborn

As a general rule of thumb, most airlines set a restriction of 7-8 days after birth for safe flying.  This is largely due to babies lung development, but also a general health precaution for both mother and baby – those first few days after birth are critical for both mum and babes recovery.

If you fly before this age most airlines will require some form of release letter from your paediatrician, and for the new mum.

Don’t forget yourself as well when planning postnatal flights.  Whether it’s a natural birth or caesarean, it can be rather painful in those first few weeks  ‘downstairs’ so you won’t want to be seated for any lengthy period of time.

Flying internationally you will also have that small issue of needing to get your child a passport.  An emergency passport is only issued in exceptional circumstances, going through all the right channels can take you at least a week or two – if not months depending on your circumstances and if you live near a consulate or embassy able to issue passports.

At a minimum, if you’re an expat I’d suggest waiting 6 weeks after birth (we got ours for Baby J in under a month which we thought was really fast!).

What happens if the worst happens? Giving birth mid-air

The ultimate worst case scenario for most expecting mums is what happens if I do go into labour mid-air?  What will the airline do? What is my legal standing for an overseas birth?

This is obviously all very circumstantial, we cannot give you a one-size-fits-all answer to this question as its hugely variable.  Here are links to some articles that may help you understand what has happened in the past and how it might affect you.

• Paris to New York Birth

• Calgary to Tokyo

Where are they legally born?

Legal citizenship has two elements – where you are from and where you are born.  So this will depend on the “home” country of your airline.  On US airlines, for example, you may immediately be granted US citizenship but flying a British airline you would still need to apply for UK citizenship. It’s a messy area we won’t attempt to answer, get a lawyer!

• What Nationality are babies born mid-air

Will my child get free flights for life? 

This is entirely up to the airline!  There’s no fixed policy on this but some airlines are known to have offered this in the past as a goodwill gesture.

Remember your flight crew will only have basic first aid training.  They will, of course, page for medical professionals on board to help if you do suffer any unexpected complications mid-air but its safest to assume if you have any concerns of complications pre-flight, do NOT board!

Does insurance cover you for mid-air emergencies?

You will need to read the fine print of your policy, but generally speaking, as giving birth is considered to be an “expected event” you would not be covered while travelling for an ordinary labour and birth (hence why they don’t want you flying by the point you’re actually due!).  Going into premature labour, however, is classified as a complication of labour which is typically covered under medical insurance plans.

• Here’s an example of travel insurance coverage for pregnancy 

You will see that pregnancy coverage cuts out for residents of most countries quite far before your due date making late-term pregnancy travel a risky proposition for all concerned.
