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.

I travelled when I was 24 weeks and though it wasn't as long as your trip, I did feel very tired with all the walking, so best to take short breaks while you can and don't make your itinerary too full. My husband of course was very understanding too. I sat business class and tbh it still wasn't the most comfortable flight as my stomach was already making me feel quite breathless, so as much as you can, try to walk often/wear compression stocking during your flight. Don't sit for too long if you can help it.
