Travelling when pregnant

Hi everyone! Has anyone travelled multiple flights during a trip when 20+ weeks pregnant? I'm going for a holiday and heading to 3 countries all by which i need to take a plane multiple times over a period of 18 days. The flight to and from SG is quite long about 12 hours but between the other countries it takes abt 2-3 hours. Total will be taking 6 flights altogether. I can't change the name on the flight ticket and if i don't go, its thousands thousands of dollars wasted. Gynae did not say I couldn't go but am just thinking what to do. For my own mental well being, i really want to go for one last trip before baby is born but if anything were to happen due to the multiple flights or anything happens overseas, i will also regret. Am at such a loss and any advice will be greatly appreciated.

On the flights, you'll need to make sure that you get up frequently and get your blood to circulate well. Get a aisle seat too, you'll be running to the toilet pretty frequently. I went for a week long trip to tw at about 5 months along, so not as long as yours,but it can be quite tiring especially with the walking. Just take frequent breaks if you're tired. You'll also need a letter from your gynae certifying that you're fit to travel.
