Questions & Answers

You may want to check with the airline...most say they do not want passengers to fly past 34 weeks....I think

My doctor said it is safe unless my pregnancy becomes high risk. He said 32 weeks internationally and 36 weeks locally. I'll be flying a 3 hour flight at 28 weeks. They say you feel best to travel during the 2nd trimester. Just make sure to move around and drink lots of water!

My dr said that no flying is safe during the 1st and the 3rd trimester.When pregnant I did fly,when I was 7 weeks and at 20 weeks.I would not risk it again though.

You do take on radiation whilst in flight. I travelled weekly when I found out I was pregnant and was fortunate enough to work from home after my "news". "They" say it's safe. I personally felt that I was high risk enough to just not want to risk anything else. I was very lucky to have flexibility though. Lots of women fly while pregnant and only stop when closer to due date for fear of going into labor in flight. Drink LOTS of water since you dehydrate anyway on recycled airplane air and need that much more water when pregnant and make sure you get up and walk so you don't clot or screw with your circulation. G'luck!!
