Baby moon??

I'm planning on booking a last a minute holiday for next week when I'll be 26 weeks pregnant to turkey. Just wanting people's views on going when 26 weeks. Both my mum and mother in law are worried about us going but iv had a low risk pregnancy so far. Xx

We’re on our baby moon currently and I’m 28 weeks. Just check with your midwife and take your pregnancy notes and you’ll be set. Just bare in mind you may need a fit to fly certificate which the midwife’s told me they can no longer supply, had to get mine online which cost about £45, you may not need one but just check with the airline x

I personally wouldn’t but that’s just because I had my first at 27 weeks and my pregnancy was fine up until I went into spontaneous labour at 27 weeks. No issues in pregnancy either. If I was going to go abroad I would go somewhere that had really good healthcare/maternity facilities just incase x

I think at 26 weeks you’ll be absolutely fine, my first pregnancy went to 41 weeks so at 26 weeks I still had a longggg way to go 😅 xxx

I think plan for a worst case scenario for peace of mind but other wise take the chance you have now to enjoy what may be a last vacation solo for a bit! ❤️❤️ sleep in, eat out, sit at the water and do nothing lol (wish I could have but we were in covid with my first 👎)

I think you'll be fine, if you're travelling abroad I'd have a fit to fly doctors note, just in case they ask for it. Have a lovely holiday and enjoy!

I'm going on holiday tomorrow for 10 days and I'm 27 weeks pregnant. Enjoy!xx

I just came back from a week away for my Babymoon flying out when I was 26 weeks and back when I was 27. It was absolutely fine I would just recommend going somewhere that isn’t too hilly as the heat took it out of me and I was struggling with long walks (probably more down to my lack of fitness though!)

I’m 27 weeks and going tomorrow for 2 weeks to Turkey. I had to get a fit to fly, done the same with my first last year 🥰

@Beth which notes do u need , the whole book ?

@Saskia yeah take the whole book, if anything happens they’ll need it to refer to x

Thanks everyone. Think we are going to book it. Struggled to get in with my GP today to get a fit to fly. Will try again on Monday, was worried on booking holiday without note but just going to go for it xx

@Rachael might just hide bump in a tracksuit I’m only 26 weeks anyways so Ryan air does let fly but Cba to bring the whole booklet taking up space in my bag for them to read

I just got a note from my midwife to fly, it seemed to be a template they filled in, she just said it had to be done within a week of flying. In terms of the airline I was just asked at the gate how many weeks I was but they didn’t ask to see any proof so didn’t need to use it in the end x

I’ve just got back from our Babymoon - I was 26 weeks flying out and just over 27 weeks coming back. The midwife just gave me a fit to fly letter in case the airline wanted to see it but they didn’t ask x
