its just in your last month you cant fly .i did when i was 7mths 2wks and the midwife and doc said aslong as return flight was in a wk. but ask your own midwife 1st to be save due to things like blood preasure . also ask for advice on leg exercises these are really important due to the blood clots .

as your still quite early on in your pregnancy it should be ok. flying generally becomes an issue at 30+ wks.
as long as you're healthy and theres no worries with the baby you should be fine. you can check with your midwife before you go to make sure. some airlines do ask for a note from your dr/midwife to say you're fit to fly, it may be an idea to ring your airline and check about this.
hope you have good time but don't forget before 13wks is the time to be especially careful and not only that it is the time when the baby can be most affected by smoke and alcohol!!

Airlines recommend not flying only in the last month of pregnancy, unless you are suffering from complications and your midwife will advise you.
I flew when I was 20 and 23 weeks pregnant with no trouble at all. Just remember to wriggle your toes!
Congratulations!

Im a pregnant flight attendant, I think my answer would beat all the others. You can fly up to your ninth month, if you wish to fly after that you MUST have a note from your doctor to give to the airline stating that it is okay for you to fly at such and such time. Good Luck!

I just asked that question, I will be 33 weeks when I fly to Florida from MA. and my OB dr told me it was completely fine as long as no complications arose in the meantime. He said some air lines do not like to take the risk, but with a dr's note it is fine. So...all in all, you CAN FLY. :) good luck

Your ok, after 7 months they won't let you get on a plane. And after 2-3 months you can't get on a roller coaster. But you can ask when you buy your ticket or just call them to ask maybe they are different. The only reason they don't permit for a pregnant woman after seven months to get on a plane is because they don't want for her to go into labor because of the excitement you can have.

hi i think its only dangerous in your third trimester but only incase you go into labour on the plane or abroad
i know loads of people that has done it and my friend is 7 weeks pregnant and she is flying to jamaica on sunday for her honeymoon
if you have any doubts try searching the net for answers or see your midwife or GP
take care
im sure everything will be ok

I flew when I was 9-11 weeks pregnant to Luxor and had no problems. The ususal problem is in the final trimester. Speak to your midwife but I think you will be ok.
