My fiance and I have been planning a vacation for the end of August, we have not yet booked. I just found out I am pregnant, about 5 weeks along. He still wants to go, but I'm not sure if I want to. I want to be able to enjoy my vaca. I would be about 10 or 11 weeks pg if I did go. Is it safe for me to fly if I decide go? (And, yes, I will ask my doc ;)

It perfectly safe to fly during pregnancy up until the last trimester. My friend just went a to a destination wedding in a Jamaica. She was about 5-6 months pregnant at the time and had absolutely no problems.

Go get a book called " what to expect when you are expecting". It's the pregnancy bible and will help with all these questions. Your question as well as many others that you would not expect is in there. It's excellent in describing all of these little things that worry moms and help distinguish when something is "normal" or not.
Good Luck!

There is no problem in flying but again it depends on the flying time. do not be confined to your seat just have a little walk after small intervals, when the plane is at cruising height

That's absolutely fine! A lot of books recommend taking a trip before the baby. It's not until your 7th month that they say not to fly.
Have fun!

if your pregnancy is healthy you can fly through your 7th month
I flew with both pregnancies at all different stages
just ask for a seat close to the bathroom especially if it is a long flight

You should be fine, but do check with your doc for an "dos and don'ts" relative to travel and your planned activities while on vacation.
Enjoy!

i think you will save when you take the plane to travel. it's better than you go travel by car.
and of course, you should go to see the doctor to make sure that you will save.
Good luck and enjoy your vacation!

so long as your arms do not get too tired or your stomach hit trees if you are too low.
but seriously, make sure to wear lap belt properly and low across lap and hips, not high across abdomen, same for when in a car. should be ok otherwise.
