31 Weeks & 4 Days
Worst Flight of MY LIFE!!!!!
Brenton & I flew to Boston on a overnight flight with 2 layovers. This was probably the WORST flight of MY LIFE!!!! In fact, I think I saw a glimpse of Hell! Thats how bad it was! I decided to blog about this so I have future reference of flying at 8 Months Pregnant!
I'll start from the beginning! We left Tuesday Evening. Our flight left from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas at 10pm. We got to the airport and got checked in. Got on the flight and wouldn't you know Brenton was fussy. It made sense though, it was only 1 1/2 hrs past bed time! Its a fairly short flight to Vegas. Maybe 45 mins. Of Course Brenton fell asleep the last 10 mins! So naturally I had to awake him to get him in his stroller. We had a hour and a half wait in Vegas for our next flight to Washington DC. I was starting to cramp from walking to the other side of the airport. When we got to our Gate there was not one seat left! So I had to go a few gates down to sit. Brenton decided he didn't want to sit. So I let him out to run around and for the next half hour we played catch Brenton!
They finally boarded our flight! It was a 757 jet and it was sold out!!! I wasn't very happy when I discovered my seat was at the back of the airplane. But at least I had a window seat! As people loaded the plane I watched to see who was going to be in the seats next to us. Well I just happened to get the worse people on the whole flight next to me! Why? When they sat down the smelled like they were soaked in cigarettes. Which I wasn't thrilled about but I could deal with. Then I noticed they were totally drunk!!!!! They were making no sense what so ever. Just all over the place! The plane took off and they finally fell asleep or past out. Brenton fell asleep as well. So I finally decided to try and get some rest. Within 20 mins I awoke to one of the drunk guys next to me trying to put his elbow into my head! Long story short... He also slammed my head into the side 3 times. Kept elbowing my belly all through out the flight. Try and grab Brenton from me. So needless to say I got 0 sleep! It was the longest 4 1/2 hrs of my life!!! And it wasn't like it was bright enough to even read. Because the whole flight was asleep. Before we landed Brenton woke up and had managed to soak through his whole outfit!!! When we landed it was the roughest landing, Ive ever experienced. The fog was so bad the pilot didn't see the ground that fast! There were fire engines and ambulances everywhere due to the dence fog! We finally got off the flight. And low and behold My stroller was NO WHERE!!!! They forgot to board it in Vegas! Which meant I had to carry Brenton, who mind you was soaked.
My next flight was delayed another 45 mins until it cleared up. Again I got on my flight to Boston and it was sold out. That flight wasn't to bad except for the turbulence it was like a roller coaster. I was ready to throw up! To top it all of Brenton managed to go through his clothes again!!! And I had no diapers left!
When we arrived we went down to baggage claim to find no one! I called my house and they hadn't even left yet! So there I was with no sleep, no stroller, hungry, & sore as all heck from carrying Brenton and sitting on planes for the past 12 hrs! So what did I do?! I bawled my eyes out! haha. I went into the lost baggage to get a temporary stroller. I probably wasn't to nice to them. But hey it was there fault they lost my stroller! And I'm only 8 months pregnant! My dad finally showed up a hour later! It took another 2 hours from there to go home due to traffic. So poor Brent had to sit in wet pants until we got to my dads house.
Moral of the story... I am never flying again at 8 Months Pregnant. I am never flying again without help and I am never doing 2 layovers again!!!!

The important thing is that you blog about it so that we can all have a good laugh. Yes, I did laugh out loud. It sound like it was absolutely horrible!! I hope that you can laugh about it, too. . . . someday. . . . maybe. . . .
Don't doctors suggest not travel on plane's after 5 months or something?! Clearly, your story is the reason they suggest it! That sounds horrible, I think I would have started crying a whole lot sooner than you did! Worst trip EVER!
No its 8 Months. And Since I was hitting the 8 Month Mark there. And was flying back within 3 days I was ok.
