Is It Ok To Fly At 36th Week Of Pregnancy With Severe Swelling Of Legs?
Hi,I am 32 weeks pregnant and I have very swollen and sore feet and legs with some varicose veins in my calves. I find it hard to walk sometimes it's so uncomfortable. It's helped by rest and wearing compression tights. I have booked a 2.5 hr flight in my 36th week and return flight the following week. Should I cancel my flights? Am I at too much risk for DVT?
