DH and I will be taking a 13 hour flight next month when I am 21-23 weeks pregnant (spending 2 weeks at remote beach destination in the Indian Ocean). Looking for recommendations for what to wear on the plane. Most concerned with comfort and warmth - don't really care about looking great during the flight, if you know what I mean...
Thanks. |

Hi OP - I've been flying a ton through my third trimester, although 5 hours has been my max. 
I recommend thin maternity sweatpants (you'll wear these in your house even if it's hot all summer and when you come home from the hospital), a comfortable tee-shirt, and something to layer over the tee-shirt (either a drapey cotton top or a thin maternity zip up hoodie). Check out Target, GAP, or even Motherhood - I found cheap options all of those places. Also, wear flipflops but don't forget warm socks to put on once the flight takes off. And don't forget to walk around every two hours to ward off blood clots. I'm so jealous. My makeshift babymoon was cancelled b/c of work, and I've never had two weeks off of work except my honeymoon! Have fun.

Jersey knit floor length sun-dress with a hoodie for the actual plane ride.
I wore a dress like this throughout the summer I was pregnant: http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=48687&vid=1&pid=811744&scid=811744002 I definitely always prefer dresses on the plane--much less constrictive. |

| I love the clothes through Tranquilit (pronounced "tranquility") maternity collection -- http://www.tranquilit.com/maternit.html -- they are made from bamboo and super comfy and stretchy. Have fun on your vacation! |

| Yoga pants with a foldover waist and layers over it - a soft maternity short sleeved shirt with a soft long sleeve over it. For shoes, wear something on the bigger side that you can slip on and off so you can put them on if you need to use the bathroom but keep them off if you're sitting or sleeping so your feet can swell a little. |
