The safest trimester to fly is the 2nd trimester. I flew during my 1st and 2nd trimesters. Some airlines do require a Dr's note to fly during your 3rd trimester, but it is safe. Precautions you need to take include staying hydrated. I would drink only water on the plane. I would also not sit in your seat the whole time. You need to move your legs around (either in your seat or walking) to prevent the chance of blood clots in your legs. Pregnant women are at higher risk for these blood clots. Ask your Dr. what she thinks.

Pregnancy is case to case basis.
Don't believe people when they say 5 months or 6 months because the best person who can answer that is the one who is pregnant.
If you are in your first stage... then is it your first pregnancy? remember miscarriage usually happens on the first quarter of the first pregnancy, especially if the woman is stressed.
Miscarriage can happen anytime if the pregnancy is not properly monitored... so it is wise to have a good check-up and let the midwife answer your questions because they can scan the fetus' situation and can detect possible problems that you might encounter. Furthermore, make sure that the place you are going to is equipped to handle your situation if this is a delicate pregnancy.
By airline regulation (you can double check this) women who are in or beyond 7th month are not allowed to fly. Some airlines are even more strict, restriction starts from 5 months on the way.
But whatever the regulation is, it still comes down to the pregnant person and how long the travel would be.... so check with the airline and have a midwife examine you and your baby.
Good luck and God bless you and your little one.

The cut off point is usually around 7 months, but your general fitness will be the thing that makes the difference. See a doc before, get a note in case the airline decide they want one.
Don't forget your flight socks and details of exercises against thrombosis for the flight.
I went over the Grand Canyon at 6 months and it was really hairy with the turbulence. But then Mr Universal Studios didn't let me in most rides because they were deemed unsafe... You're the judge most times, but at other times, people are going to make the decision for you.
Now I've done the Grand Canyon thing, and even though it was all fine, I wouldn't risk coming into contact with such turbulence again with my current pregnancy. My Mum will be pleased I said that!

it is rather significant.. you may call your embassy, I called mine and that they stated i'd desire to fly in the previous 7 months for the dimensions of the flight. additionally they say you will get up and stroll around a minimum of each 2 hours, or you may harm your toddler as your blood tension is low besides, and in an airplane even decrease, alot larger dangers of thrombosis. 4 to 5 months you're at a sturdy time to commute, besides the fact that if in case you may steer clear of traveling lengthy distance it rather is often greater desirable, yet whilst that is already deliberate i'm hoping you have a good time with your holiday. Many agencies wont permit you fly on your seventh month regardless of a letter from a physician, in case you will discover your tummy alot be certain you have a letter out of your physician for the airline and immigration announcing which you would be able to fly... additionally some international locations are a touch strict on giving visas to pregnant lady so call the embassy of the ocuntry you will pass to in the previous flying aswell i will fly from Mexico to Australia (My homestead, Aus) in would i would be 6 months so have been looking into all of this alot maximum suitable of superb fortune and a secure journey

Pregnant women need not be restricted from flying. Most airline permit pregnant women to fly until the end of the 35th week of pregnancy, whereupon expectant mothers are strictly advised not to fly.
Exact stipulations from airline to airline vary, and it is well worth contacting airlines in advance of flying to confirm their regulations. Some airlines, may request a medical certificate specifying the expectant date of delivery.

Up to week 26 you don't need any form of a confirmation from a GP that you are fit to fly. After week 26 you need a letter from your GP, NOT the midwife. Most airlines will not allow travel beyond week 32. You will need to check with your particular airline - if you tell me which one you are flying with, then I can tell you exactly.

Most airlines will only take you up to 27 weeks. Some will accept you if you have a Doctors note saying you are fit to travel. Check with the airlines
