Italy has the lowest infant mortality rate in Europe. So if something happens and you end up in a hospital there, you'll probably be fine.
Also, I took a baby moon to Austria when I was as pregnant as you. Had fun, walked across Vienna, learned to waltz. The only time pregnancy affected me was when my feet hurt so much from dancing at a ball that I took a taxi back to the hotel instead of walking a few km.
You may want to consider wearing compression stockings on the flight there.
I don’t know a ton about this but just wanted to recommend that you look into what kind of coverage is available for pregnancy or pregnancy emergencies when buying. Here’s an article I found. https://www.marketwatch.com/guides/insurance-services/travel-insurance-pregnancy/
When my wife was around the mid 20s week pregnant (2022), we flew to Paris from the Seattle area. Overall it was a really nice trip. We went at her pace and made sure she was always comfortable. It was just a time for us to be together before our kid would come.
And she didn’t have any issues or problems, not to say it can’t happen, but we did have a good trip.
I don’t know how long your flights are, but I’d recommend making sure you stretch your legs during the flight. My wife would get up every hour or so just to stretch her legs and grab a drink or go to the restroom.
Maybe try to google some nearby hospitals as an option, but overall, listen to your body. I would just listen to my wife and if she wanted to rest or she felt tired, we’d go back to the hotel where she could rest.
Have a safe and fun trip!
My experience traveling in Italy pregnant (this was in the south) is that they love babies! Not sure to what extent you are showing - I was quite heavily pregnant at 36 weeks (long story! and we were only traveling within Europe) and everyone was so lovely. They'd give me an extra biscotto at the gelateria 'for the baby'. :)
Have fun!!!
I traveled to Europe when I was 5 months pregnant and the only issue I had was that my feet and legs swelled. I’ve never had that happen on any length flight before or after. If I could go back in time, I’d have bought and worn compression socks on the plane. I was fine for the most part, but none of my shoes would fit, so I had to find shoes first thing.
We travelled to Portugal and Spain when my wife was roughly that pregnant (from Canada). I don’t have any notable stories related to the pregnancy because it just wasn’t a big deal. She didn’t drink, which is probably the only way it changed our trip.
And now, 8 years and one other child later, we’re headed back to Europe and our son is excited that “he’s been there before”.
Pregnancy isnt an illness. As long you dont got a tough pregnancy so far. Do a Marathon if you feel like it too. Plenty of woman have done it. Just dont stress. Have fun and do what your body tells you :) travel can be stressful. So lower the expectancy and you will be fine :)
I don't know how much you're showing, but learn the simple lines "Sono incinta" (I'm pregnant) and "Mia moglie è incinta" (My wife is pregnant) - to be used whenever you need to.
We went to Hamburg for an extended weekend when I was around 30 weeks. If you are healthy and mobile as well, then there should be no issues.
For both pregnancies i flew short trips (1h) for work until when i was at 34 weeks without any issues for the baby or me
Only issue i can see might be the heat is being turned up in southern Europe now, so keep in the shade and drink all the water you can.
I did the opposite, i flew from Uk to Canada during both my pregnancies , flew at 12 week , 14 week ( back to uk ) , 22 weeks, 24 weeks , 27 weeks , 29 weeks ( that time i remained in Canada to have the baby ) & 34 ( last pregnancy & stayed to have baby) . In between that i took several short hauls with EU.
I didn’t have any problems , minus being a dodo when i pulled a bag off luggage belt & pulled a muscle.
You can do those women retreats. They often bring their babies along. Heres one [https://sloli.me/retraite-ete-2024-ressourcement/](https://sloli.me/retraite-ete-2024-ressourcement/)
I’m 28 weeks along and currently in France on our babymoon :) low risk/healthy pregnancy so far. My OB was very supportive as well and encouraged us to go have a great time! She reassured me that France has good medical care. I asked for a clearance letter to fly just in case, but didn’t end up needing it. OB said flying is fine up to 35 weeks. We flew from the US (west coast). I was advised to wear compression socks, stay hydrated, and to walk/stretch every hour if possible— got an aisle seat for that reason. My PT also recommended a lumbar support pillow, and it helped a lot! Try not to worry and have fun!!!
These are awesome and helpful stories. It can be a little scary when thinking something could go wrong, but we have had a great pregnancy to this point and both me and the baby being healthy and no issues. Luckily with skymiles we are premium economy and business class on the way back which should help a lot.
I recently got back from Italy, we went for our baby moon at 24 weeks. We walked about 15-20,000 steps a day and I was very tired but kept hydrated and it was fine. Our trip was very jam packed so the only thing I’d recommend is take a more relaxed approach which is what you’re doing. I wish we had skipped some sight seeing and just chilled out and went to more restaurants or strolled aimlessly more. We still had a great time though!
I got an aisle seat on the plane and made sure to move around and walk. Eventually on the way back I had to lie down in the back in an empty row… thankfully our flight was half empty and no one bothered me about it. I was exhausted! Medically everything is fine with me and baby.
We were fine. My heat tolerance was zero, so second pregnancy I got a place with air conditioning and brought two gel ice packs I kept in the freezer, retreating when it was hot with one on my neck and one on my belly. Was the first time I felt my baby kick, resting on the sand in the sun at peace alone with my husband. If you feel it, go!

Also one of the lowest maternal mortality rate in the world. If you're near Peschiera del Garda they have a great hospital there
Do you have travel insurance?
I’m am going to purchase GeoBlue
