Flight Socks

Do I need to bother for a 2 hour flight? I'm 27 weeks pregnant and BP was slightly up last time it was checked.

Your call.

I can't say that it would make that much difference, but if you were my wife.....I would insist that you wore them.

[anneasquith]

id say yes.

Okey doke, its hardly a chore. Thanks.

meglet, in the past. ladies were advised not to travel after 28 weeks and ( I may be wrong ) I thought airlines had that policy, how far into the pregnancy is air travel allowed now ?

[meglet]

Depends on the airline. But most will fly you up to 36 weeks with a medical certificate as long as there are no complications with the pregnancy. I will need to fly again too, can't be helped as we are having to move to Abu Dhabi (having only moved to Saudi Arabia from the UK 2 months ago!!).

I know EB, we did mention this stressful time to doc. I've had so much going on during this pregnancy you wouldn't believe it.

Still, I'm here in Abu Dhabi sat round a pool (in the shade) being waited on hand and foot. Things could be worse!
