[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This past summer, during my second pregnancy, I took a flight to Dallas. On the way back, we got stuck on the tarmac for hours waiting to take off, and then when we arrived in DC, there wasn’t a gate ready so we sat for another 45 minutes, each time without any access to water on a hot day. I was incredibly uncomfortable and started having Braxton Hicks so close together I almost took a cab straight from the flight to the hospital. Luckily, with lots of water, I got the contractions to slow down by the next day and didn’t go into early labor. But, I immediately cancelled the trip I was supposed to take the next week (33 weeks), which was supposed to be my last trip. So I would say avoid if possible because you could be extra miserable if something goes wrong during the flights. [/quote]

I don't understand these posts about not having access to water.  That seems easy to avoid by bringing some empty water bottles through security and filling them before you get on the plane.  [/quote]

Only the US has water fountains to refill water bottles. I tried to find them in 3rd world countries like African airports and they didn't exist. I also couldn't find them in European stops too when I changed planes. I get so thirsty on planes! One time I remember drinking from the bathroom tap because I couldn't get any more water [/quote]
