is it ok to fly if you are pregnant or think you could be pregnant?

Usually it's fine, especially since I would assume you are very early on (if you are "thinking" you're pregnant). BUT I would get a confirmation and a check up with the doctor FIRST just to be safe there are no complications. Horrible thing to think about, but you have to. Also, check airline standards and make sure you follow their guidelines. The doctor can also give you a checklist of things to do/eat and things not to do/eat so you know your limits on vacation or where ever. PLUS, you might want a doctor's recommendation on a hospital and an OB in the area of your destination just to be safe. Good Luck!!

it's usually said that u should avoid flying in the 1st trimester and after 35-36 weeks (but some airways will not accept u after 28-30 weeks, if the flight is going to be more than 4 hours). it's the safest and more comfortable for u to fly in ur second trimester (4-6 months).

It is okay up until your 6th month... You should get a doctor's note just in case so if the airport gives you any problems you can at least have something to say that it is okay. I flew twelve hours to CA while I was 3 months and again when I was 5 months. It is VERY uncomfortable the further along you are. Just drink ginger ale if you are feeling sick and crackers or pretzels help ALOT....

Yes. Doctors and airlines usually want you to stop flying at about 32 weeks

Yes.
Just take the grocery/drug store pregnancy test and then you'll know.
GOD bless.
