As long as you don't have medical complications, aren't carrying twins or more, and haven't had any prior premature deliveries, you can fly on most airlines until 36 weeks of pregnancy. Travel agents and airlines won't ask if you're pregnant when you book your seat, but you may be challenged at the check-in desk. For this reason, from about 28 weeks of pregnancy you will need a letter from your doctor confirming your due date and stating that you are unlikely to go into labour on the flight! Check your airline's policy on flying in pregnancy before you leave and don't forget that it applies to your return trip, too.

Yes!! Most or all DR's will tell you that the only time a pregnant women should not fly is when the pregnancy is not healthy, you show signs of early labor at anytime in your pregnancy up to the point you are wanting to fly, or if your in your 3rd trimester (this is because you can go into labor at anytime for sure in your 3rd trimester). Since you are probably 5-8weeks pregnant it should be ok. if in doubt don't do until you speak with a dr.

Doctors recommend not flying after the third trimester. I think you'll be fine since you just found out you are pregnant but you can ask your OB just in case

If you just found out, then there is no reason you cant fly...They sometimes frown upon someone who is on the verge of delivery, because any jostling, or really bumpy flight could cause birth, and they dont like that at all.....good luck...

yes, doctors discourage flying only in the last trimester. but i would still confirm with your ob/gyn to be 100% safe. have fun in australia, and congrats on the baby!
