  Some women still do not rest after becoming pregnant and stick to their work posts every day. But some jobs are not fixed in nature, always traveling back and forth between different places, so taking a plane has become commonplace. Everyone knows that it is very inconvenient for pregnant women to take a plane. Can pregnant women take a plane for more than two hours at 8 months old?

  Airlines have specific regulations for pregnant women flying, stating that pregnant women over 36 weeks of gestation are not allowed to fly. At 8 months of pregnancy, it is 32 weeks, so pregnant women can take a plane at that time. If the pregnant woman's physical condition is good, it is also possible to take a two-hour flight. However, during the process of flying, pregnant women must maintain a comfortable posture and avoid overexertion.

  However, at 8 months of pregnancy, pregnant women may experience signs of childbirth at any time, so it is not recommended for pregnant women to fly frequently. And during the takeoff of the plane, there will be pressure changes, which may also cause slight contractions of the uterus, increasing the risk of premature birth in pregnant women.

  If pregnant women do not have urgent tasks, try to avoid flying during pregnancy. After all, airplanes are public places with dense crowds and poor air quality, which can easily lead to pregnant women being infected with bacteria. If pregnant women accidentally contract bacteria, it can affect the healthy development of the fetus.
