Yes I just flew 2 weeks ago at 22 weeks and was fine. I did find tho that I swelled more then usual but not horrible.
Ask you doctor to double check tho.

Re: flying
My doctor said I could fly until 32weeks. I flew across country and internationally around 24-28 weeks, and no issues besides a lot of discomfort. Make sure you walk around during the flight and if possible to elevate your feet in any way, that's super helpful.

I just flew to Florida and the Bahamas at 25 weeks and I was completely fine. I flew South West and since I was preggo they have me priority seating both ways and sat in the front row! It was glorious.

That's when I flew to Florida. Got up once or twice to just stretch my legs. Opted out of the body scanners and got the pat down instead. Easy peasy.

Yes it's ok. I flew twice while pregnant. at 12 weeks; and at 27 weeks. I can't remember which time but on one of the outbound flights i got up to use the bathroom; and i felt extremely light headed. Like where it scared me a little. On my return flight I knew to just tay seated; and drink water. Luckily it was only 2 hours and I didn't have to pee!
I will be flying next month-I'll be 19 weeks then. AND with an 18 month old!

Def. opt out of the body scanner if they select you. I just told the TSA that I was pregnant (when I wasn't showing at 12 weeks) and they called a female agent over to do a pat down. When I flew at 27 weeks; I just asked to be pat down.

Yup, I did the same thing, just told them I don't want to go through scanners, and they patted me down.
Another thing that helped me was putting the mini fan on high and keeping it that way for the flight to help w/ circulation because at certain points i was also really lightheaded and felt claustrophobic…But I was stuck on the flight for 7 hrs, so maybe that's why.
