Question
hey
i am 28 and just married.we are planning for a baby. but i may have to fly to my home country somewhere during my pregnancy and the journey is about 20-30 hrs.So i just wanted to know till which month is it safe to take such a long flight?

Answer
You can safely fly during pregnancy, as long as you take walks around the cabin and go to the restroom every hour so that your bladder does not stretch. Drink plenty of fluids during the flight. You can fly until the 36th week of pregnancy,but it is better not to fly in the last month because, if you go into labor, they may not know how to deliver the baby. The training for flight attendants is not very extensive as far as delivering a baby.
