Especially since my belly will be bigger.<br /><br />I'm kind of freaking out now because I went through the scanner in Des Moines a couple weeks ago. I'd spent 45 minutes in the security line and was about to miss my plane and it didn't even occur to me. What a shitty time to forget I'm pregnant.The Cornfed Feministhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049764462275577386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180467808749035525.post-39354178770102803412012-06-14T19:40:15.751-04:002012-06-14T19:40:15.751-04:00I can imagine how much of a pain it is.

Good luck with this last flight!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05966717022898011818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180467808749035525.post-49945817199568324942012-06-14T18:02:22.150-04:002012-06-14T18:02:22.150-04:00I told myself I wouldn't be traveling this pre...I told myself I wouldn't be traveling this pregnancy after my trip at 12 weeks. I have a wedding in July that's in Connecticut and I was like, oh, that's probably an hour away. Just kidding! It's THREE hours away. Great! One way I'm taking a train, which is good because I have huge seats and can get up to pee whenever I want (and train bathrooms are decent sizes), but the way back I'm riding in a car. Which means we are stopping for frequent pee breaks and so I can stretch my legs and get blood flowing again. Yep. Traveling while pregnant is a joy and a half. At least it will only be 24 hours.robinhttp://polycysticinside.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180467808749035525.post-52072767813673977082012-06-14T16:42:40.095-04:002012-06-14T16:42:40.095-04:00You made me literally laugh out loud with “I hope ...You made me literally laugh out loud with “I hope I fit” :) I’m glad that I won’t be flying AT ALL this pregnancy. I’m already a paranoid freak of nature, I’d probably have a complete breakdown.

Made sure to get aisle seats for easy trips to the bathroom. The whole experience makes me paranoid. I've had luck though in Boston, Chicago and DC with always have regular metal detectors available. Not one pat down yet. The trick I learned is not to say "I opt out" as I tried to once in Boston. The TSA lady looked at me and said, "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear anything. You are pregnant, right?" and sent me through old school. Very time after that, I've always just looked at them with a sweet look and said "I'm pregnant," implying there's no way in hell you are making me go through that thing!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556722325372102710noreply@blogger.com
