Is It Safe To Travel By Flight After Having Stitches To Cervix During Pregnancy?
My wife is currently 14 weeks pregnant & had severe bleeding last friday. We went to a gynac immediately & she did a ultrasound. The baby is safe & has my wife on medication. She is currently OK, but during her last ultrasound, doctor suggested that the cervix is slightly open & she might have to take stitches. My question is it safe for her to air travel for around 1.5 hr after the stitches ? Or is it recommended to travel before the stitches are taken ?

Hi,
I think you can take the stitches. She might have cervical incompetence so my suggestion is you have to take the stitches allow it to heal for 5 days and then take a flight. You will get more clarity. Once you speak with your treating gynecologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
