Airport blues...

[heatherrae]

Well, the airports will still let me on the planes despite the fact that I look like I'm going to pop at any second.

My flight from orlando to charlotte was delayed over an hour yesterday. When I got to charlotte, I had 5 minutes to run the entire airport length to get to my connecting gate. I think the damn ground shook. I was clutching my big old belly and running. The PA was announcing that all passengers to Louisville should already be on the plane.

I got to the gate and couldn't even breathe or talk. Everyone looked scared to death that I was in labor...lol. I was able to get on the plane, but I thought I was going to die. Damn, that Charlotte airport is LOOOONG.

Then, they had let some drunk guy get on the plane and he is seated behind me. He gets up and starts yelling and flailing his arms. I'm ducking in my seat. I didn't know if he was crazy, a terrorist or what. Two flight attendants had to come make him sit down and shut up. I'm not sure why they didn't just kick him off the plane. We hadn't started flying yet.

Crazy day flying!

Who Can Fly
There are some restrictions as to just who should and should not travel the skies when they are pregnant. Generally, women who are having a healthy, normal pregnancy are free to come and go as they please. However, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends women don’t fly after their 36th week of pregnancy.
Airlines have their own flight restrictions for pregnant women, which can vary according to whether you are flying domestically or internationally and which airline you will be flying. Some airlines won’t allow you to travel for 30 days before your due date, while others won’t let you on board if your due date is less than seven days away. Be sure to ask the ticket agent when you book your ticket just what their restrictions are since they probably won’t mention it otherwise. And don’t forget to consider how close your due date will be when you come back.

Women who are having any sort of complications associated with their pregnancy or who are considered to be ‘high risk’ should not travel. This includes women with poorly controlled diabetes, sickle cell disease, placental abnormalities, hypertension or those at risk for premature labor.

Whether you are in your first trimester or third trimester, it is always a good idea to discuss your travel plans with your health care provider before you leave. It may also be a good idea to obtain a doctor’s note saying that it is okay for you to travel, especially if you are in your third trimester. Not every airline requires a doctor’s note to let you on the plane, but sometimes it’s easier to take the extra precaution in order to avoid any possible hassles when you board.
