Q. I am planning a long distance flight (12 hours) in my late pregnancy - week 33. It is not a problem with the airline as long as I get OK from my doctor.
Looking for personal experience of flying this late in the pregnancy?

A. I have flown in internationally with my first two pregnancies at various stages. I was 31 weeks pregnant when I flew internationally with my last pregnancy. I will be 30 weeks later this summer when I fly internationally with this pregnancy as well.
As long as you get a check-up from your doctor and he/she says you are fine, then go for it. Double check with your airline because usually this late in pregnancy they require a note from your doctor dated within 72 hours of the flight.
Even if the airline itself says that you are fine, and even if you bring a doctors note, you must remember that the final decision is up to the Captain (who will be informed by the gate crew of your status).
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.

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
*relax

What is the correlation between pregnancy weeks and months?
Q. You have 9 months in a pregnancy and 40 weeks. How many weeks are considered to be in each month or trimester.
A. You are actually pregnant for about 10 months.
10 months multiplied by 4 weeks in a month= 40 weeks
10 months multiplied by 4 weeks in a month= 40 weeks
How soon after a chemical pregnancy/miscarriage did you get pregnant again?
Q. My husband and I would like to try again right away. I just had a chemical pregnancy a week ago, and I'm hoping that this time the pregnancy will be healthy. Have any of you girls had any success stories after a chemical pregnancy?
A. I had a chemical pregnancy years ago and I still conceived a healthy son a few months later. Miscarriages are quite common and it's normal to have a full term pregnancy later on. The good news is that you now know you are fertile. Go ahead and keep trying and I'm sure you will have a healthy baby too. :)
