Don't worry. I am a flight attendant, and a pregnant one at that. I am 11 weeks now. It is completely safe to fly when pregnant just not in your last month. Its ok don't worry. The cabin pressure will not affect your pregnancy, you or the child, ect. It is completely safe.

That early in the game? no problems should occur unless you're pregnancy thus far is plagued by complications. If you're driving, make sure you get out and walk around at least every couple of hours to keep your blood circulating.
I was making a 90 minute trip to work, 5 days a week right up till my water broke in the early a.m. one day. I was 5 days past my due date.
If you're leaving the country or not, and you have any concerns, do some research as to what facilities are available in case something should come up. Keep your OB or Midwife's number with you.

Travelling is fine as long it involves no rough treatment of your body. planes, train cars fine but dont use any small boats or the such especially in rough weather.
Alot of being thrown around or shaken violently around. Any kind of action or travel like this should be avoided. For instance traveling in jet boat is not good. But cruise ships are absolutely fine unless you get seasick.

There's no reason that you can't travel at all. You could fly right up until your ninth month. Have fun! Just check with your doctor if you're leaving the country.

No problem! Enjoy the trip.
When you start getting bigger, be sure to get up and walk around the plane at least once every hour, to avoid blood clots.
When you are in your eighth month, you shouldn't fly.

you should be ok. it is not good to travel late in your pregnancy, early in pregnancy is fine. Enjoy your vacation cause once the baby comes, you won't be taking one for a while!

You should be fine to travel. If you are still worried call your doctor and talk to him or her about your worries. Good luck.

I think if you have those concerns you should discuss it with your doctor, but they usually advise against traveling during your third tri-mester, you should be o.k.
