What You Need To Know About Your Pregnancy

Have you fly’d in pregnancy? and after some complication like bleeding/bed rest for awhile?

I traveled internationally (14+ hours each way) this summer while pregnant. I left when I was 13 weeks and returned when I was around 30 weeks. I also did another short (3 hours each way) international trip (left at 32 weeks and returned at 34 weeks). I have also traveled internationally at various stages with my first two pregnancies (my children are now 8&5).

If you have any complications with your pregnancy, you MUST get a check-up from your doctor before thinking about flying. PLEASE think about your health, and the health of your baby – they should come before ANY travel plans.

You need to get a check-up from your doctor to make sure that you are in fit enough health, and that the pregnancy is healthy enough to allow for you to fly.

Many airlines will require a medical certificate from your doctor dated 24-72 hours before your flight once you reach your third trimester (27 weeks), so you should check on that. By the time you reach your eighth month (32 weeks) almost all airlines will require a doctors note.

In a normal pregnancy, you are safe to travel by plane from the beginning of your pregnancy all the way up until the end portion of your last trimester (usually 9th month – 36 weeks) and can manage what ever kind of trip(s) you want to do as long as you and your pregnancy are healthy and the pregnancy is progressing normally. As long as everything is fine, air travel does NOT increase the risk of miscarriage or pre-term labor, and poses no other risks to you or your child.

All airlines make up their own rules and regulations regarding pregnant women. Some do not restrict travel at all, no matter what stage of pregnancy a women is in, and others start to restrict at 7 months, although the majority restrict around 36 weeks.

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. (Taken from my husbands flight security and survival manual & FAA site)

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
*Wear your seat belt just under your abdomen (depending on how big you are, you can also ask for a seat belt extender – just be sure that that too goes under your abdomen)
*relax

Here is his response to the implantation bleeding ♥ Many women hear the term implantation bleeding often used with respect to the stages of pregnancy, but unless they receive clarification on what this phenomenon is because then it can be a frightening experience. What exactly implantation bleeding? During the early stages of pregnancy, the egg or fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall. This always happens in the first quarter and sometimes may cause a small amount of blood to be released. This is the reason for implantation bleeding. The egg is attached to the fact the mother's circulatory system through wall of the uterus, where the blood enters. Some women may experience cramps with implantation. In some cases, women have lost a point and are aware of pregnancy. Not all women will detect the location of the hemorrhage. Remember that pregnancy can be considered quite normal if there is bleeding in the early stages or not. Many women wonder how to tell the difference between implantation bleeding and bleeding can be a sign of something more serious. If you have points of light – and just enough to wear a panty liner – then most likely the location of bleeding. Also, if the place is dark and not bright red spots and ends quickly, shows the location of the bleeding too. Note this may be completely normal in the first quarter, but you should always consult with your doctor each time bleeding occurs during pregnancy. There are other explanations if the bleeding is not due to implantation. Bleeding beyond the points of light may be the result cycle menstrual flow and lighter than normal may be caused by a number of things such as stress. Changing birth control can also cause a change in RSS bleeding and spotting may also be a sign of the reports of infection or recent sexual abrasion. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

What are the two leading causes of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy?

Please help me, I am a nursing student I can not find answers in the books, they all give me many causes of bleeding, but our professor asked me report only the two leading causes of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, please help me,,, huhuhuhuh

It is a question? If so, this is a vague, with no real answer as it depends critically on how the pregnancy is advanced. And that's why I ordered two, it is also strange, as there are many reasons. You must also specify what pisses by bleeding – Platform help or soaking tampons? Bright red or brown? With or without pain? How exactly is the question? If someone has to present at the time and say there Patio vaginal bleeding and pregnant, you first need to establish how to measure the progress of pregnancy and long-term bleeding happened, how much blood, if supported pain or fever or dizziness, if the patient is nauseous, and if you do something specific that bleeding does better or worse (eg sex). During the first quarter, the two causes main is no doubt can be an indication that the pregnancy was a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy is. In the third quarter or second most common cause of bleeding would a misplaced placenta (placenta previa or abruptio). Another common cause of bleeding at any time during pregnancy is infection. Hope this helps.

Women’s Health : How to Relieve Menstrual Cramps

is it normal to have light bleeding in early pregnancy, and if so how long does it last ?

It’s not considered “normal” but it’s definitely common. I had bleeding around 7 weeks…I went to the ER and had a ton of tests done, and so far it’s been okay. I also had some light bleeding around when I was supposed to start my period (which led me to believe at first that I wasn’t pregnant), but that could’ve just been implantation bleeding…which is normal. I was told that about 20% of women bleed during early pregnancy, and about half of those go on to have a normal pregnancy. If you do have bleeding though, and you feel that it’s not normal, then by all means call your doc or go straight to the ER. If anything, it gave me peace of mind.

Spotting During Early Pregnancy

When I can take a pregnancy test?

I had the bright idea of having unprotected sex with one of my friends about eight days. I Nausea was a lot of experience that could be related to one of the medications I'm on. But yesterday I have what I thought was my period, but the bleeding is lighter than normal period for me, so now I'm starting to wonder if that's all. I have read about implantation bleeding and vaginal bleeding during the first quarter, and now I just want to go test to be sure. My question is how long after the bleeding stops before it can take a test pregnancy and get a result accurate? In addition, it does sound more like a period you or not? I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

There may be a spotting about a week after conception and implantation bleeding do. As soon I would test two weeks after conception as possible .. So I wait another week and get a good pregnancy test (U.S. dollars cheapo does not work, or at least not for me …)

7 weeks pregnant…Can I have an early scan?? (IM FROM UK)?

I am 7 weeks pregnant and very excited. However I only found out last week and have been drining and smoking, as well as eating runny eggs and pate for the last 6 weeks. I dont have any bleeding or cramps but am petrified of having a miscarriage. Can I go to hospital for an early scan as I think the stress I am giving myself will be worse than having the scan early.
A friend of mine is 8 weeks and told me she went to the hospital and said she had a small amount of blood and some cramping and they gave her an early scan, but Im worried if I lie and say that then they will put it on my records and treat my pregnancy as having complications. I just want to hear the heartbeat as Ive read that once you hear that, the chances of miscarrying are only 2%?? Please help me!

If you tell your GP that you aren’t sure of your LMP or conception date they can arrange for you to have a ‘dating ultrasound’
At seven weeks you should be able to see an embryo with a (god-willing) tiny heartbeat.
Don’t worry too much about the drinking, smoking, runny eggs and pate. They probably haven’t affected your baby yet as the placenta is still forming therefore bub isn’t getting things from your system yet (this happens around 12 weeks)
Do quit all these things now though as they can be quite damaging to a fetus.
Good luck
