Advice for pregnant ladies flying...

[TORino]

So I am here in Miami, the flight was HORRiFFIC.

If you can pre-book your seats make sure you get yourself an aisle seat for trips to the toilet that we pregnant ladies need.

We had a guy sat next to us blocking the exit and he did not get out of his seat for 9 hours. Seriously. He didn't go to the toliet once. He got on the plane & fell asleep. I had to physically wake him up to let me out and he was really grumpy about it. I was really panicking about it so I didn't drink as much as I normally would and ended up dehydrated and my mouth and nose was all dry.

An hour and a half before the flight was to land I blew my nose because it was all dry and irritating me and i had a massive nosebleed so I had to get out and the crew were looking after me and I had to sit in the crew quarters with my head down for 40 mins. The blood just didn't stop coming. I was starting to feel a bit light headed and got all panicky again.

All in all, not nice.

Miami is cool on the plus side though..

Aww hun, that sounds awful, hope you're ok now. Can you book your seats for the flight coming back?

Thanks for the advice, I'm flying to Glasgow and back in a day for work in a weeks time. Not looking forward to it now.

Hi hun I went to New York when I was about 22 weeks, I flew with virgin and they booked me a seat at the front bear the exit so i had loads of space.

Helped a little bit...

The flight was generally horrific!

Who did you fly with?? Xx

I flew with British airways. I wonder if I could somehow get them to get me a seat like that! Or at least an aisle seat so I can get to the toilet when I need to!
