You flew to Tampa, right? Now you just need to fly back home?
How did you manage to fly there? Can you just do whatever you did on the outbound flight? I assume it worked.

Hire a car and drive home.
Byvthe time you're a week into the drive, you might be willing to consider the merits of flying!

Start walking....
Alternatively, ask a Dr for Xanax or similar. He can advise on the pregnancy issue.

Who are you flying with? What can you do to stay and keep busy?
Can your husband, kids talk to you so you can be distracted?

Take the xanax and get home. You'll be fine (confim with doc to be sure).
Don't fly again during pregnancy.

Many years ago I was flying back to the states with my (then) baby
I wss obviously nervous and an Israeli chiloni woman…dressed in shorts and halter top…came over and asked me what the problem was…I told her I’m not a good traveler and nervous to get on the plane ( besides I feel clostrofobic). I’ll (hopefully) never forget what she told me…She said ‘just imagine yourself in a bubble with your baby, think of your favorite color, and the RIBONO SHEL OLAM will watch over you!’
There I was…a chareidi woman and SHE, the chiloni woman gave me a short lesson in emuna and bitochen!
My “baby” now has a baby of her own but I have kept thus message in my heart every time I fly

In an effort to calm both of us, I started chatting to him and discovered his job.
He was a pilot!
He said he had hoped the job would cure his fear of flying.
Spoiler alert: it hadn't! |
That's Hilarious. I wonder if he only felt that way when he isn't in control. Sort of like me holding on for dear life whenever a certain someone in my life drives

OP, since I hate flying and ONLY fly super-medicated, I am so interested in you! How'd it go? Are you home? How was the flight?
(Also...the nervous pilot post is hysterical!!!)

Also btw stewardesses carry anti anxiety meds so if you don’t have you can ask from them on the flight. I took once and it helped
