Flying with 2 year old twins whilst pregnant

Hi girls,

Before I found out I was pregnant with number 3(!!!) my hubby and I booked flights to America (from Belfast) for September this year. We plan to take our twins with us. This wouldn't be an issue if i wasn't going to be 7/8 months pregnant lol

We are still going on our holiday (and meeting my sister out there) and my doctor has said it is fine to fly at this stage in pregnancy so long as I am well. I'm just wondering has anybody held a baby on their knee during a long flght whilst very pregnant?

We can't figure out how we're going to do it and just need some practical advise. I'm going to email the airline and make sure they're ok with it.

Congrats! We're about the same stage in pregnancy. I'm onto number four, so I must me nuttier than you are! Lol. I have no experience in travelling while pregnant, but I have to say, travelling with a one year old on my lap without being pregnant was tough enough! As they will be two, do they not get their own seat? I'd I,atone sitting next to you would be much easier. When I went to cyprus with my eldest who,was 2.5 then, he has his own seat as you had to pay full price once the age of two. Good luck, hope it works out.
