Can I fly by plane if I have fetal movement?

At 19 weeks pregnant, I feel like my fetus is moving and I can fly.

Mother! It\’s been two days and I feel like the baby in my belly is moving. Is this fetal movement? From my daughter’s cheerful tone, I could clearly feel her pride as an expectant mother. My daughter is now 19 weeks pregnant.

Yes! At 16-20 weeks after menopause, pregnant women begin to feel slight fetal movements in the abdomen. Later, as the pregnancy progresses, the fetal movements gradually become stronger and more frequent. At 19 weeks, the fetus can kick, roll, stretch, and even suck its own hand.

You should now start counting fetal movements every day and monitor them yourself. Counting fetal movements can help you know if your baby is safe. Generally, the fetus moves about 86 times every 12 hours in 24 weeks. At 32 weeks, it peaks at about 132 every 12 hours. Gradually decreases after 38 weeks. Especially after 28 weeks of pregnancy, counting fetal movements is particularly important. Now it\’s best to choose a fixed time every day. You lie quietly on the bed. Generally, the fetus will move 35 times in 1 hour. After 28 weeks, it is best to count three times a day, one hour each in the morning, noon and evening. Fetal movements are generally more even in the morning, less frequent at noon, and more frequent at night. You can also add up the number of 3 fetal movements and multiply by 4. If it is greater than or equal to 30 times, it is normal (that is, the number of fetal movements in 12 hours).

If the fetal movements are weakened or frequent, it indicates that the fetus may be suffering from chronic hypoxia or acute hypoxia. You should go to the hospital immediately without delay! Counting fetal movements is a good way to enhance emotional communication with your child. I taught her carefully.

Mother! I may have to travel again. A new project may require me to travel to the United States for about 3 months.

I suggest you talk to your supervisor and not accept this project, because you will enter the third trimester of pregnancy after 3 months, and it is still not safe to fly.

Generally speaking, pregnant women may be affected by low air pressure, hypoxia, aircraft turbulence, and small seats when flying. According to my country\’s civil aviation regulations, if you are pregnant for more than 8 months, you must obtain a certificate of expected delivery date, a physical examination certificate issued by a doctor within 72 hours, and fill in a special passenger application form before purchasing a ticket. This regulation of civil aviation is also for safety, especially if a pregnant woman who is 35 weeks pregnant takes an airplane, it is easy to cause premature birth.
