Traveling while newly pregnant?

Hi, I'm not pregnant just yet, but will be flying on a 3 hour flight in the next 2 months. Is that harmful in any way if I was to get pregnant from now until then?
Thanks!

Re: Traveling while newly pregnant?

No its not harmful, well that is what my doctor told me. You will be fine. But if you are concerned, ask your doctor.

Re: Traveling while newly pregnant?

I am curious about the answer to this as well ..

I have no reason to think that you could not travel in the early stages of pregnancy, but DH and I planned a trip out West in September (before I found out I was PG) and now I've been debating whether or not we should go ahead with these plans or not By the time of our trip, I will be around the 10-11 week mark

I haven't had my first OB visit yet but I plan on asking when I finally go

I think my main concern is not flying per se, but just that I am so nauseous all the time and I do not want to put a damper on my trip or ruin it for DH

DH and I went to Jamaica for vacation when I was 12 weeks...my Dr said it was fine.

Thanks!

Re: Traveling while newly pregnant?

I flew a week or two after I got pg, I also flew at 17-18 weeks.

I am flying again next week at 24 weeks- Dr. is ok with all.

Re: Traveling while newly pregnant?

My Dr told me I could travel right near the very end. She said certain airlines have rules against flying in certain weeks of pregnancy. But flying early is fine, I did. I flew to Florida when I was 12 weeks.

Re: Traveling while newly pregnant?

I really think it's only the very late stages of pregnancy that you should not travel or if you may be a high risk pregnancy.

I was 13 weeks when DH and i went to Aruba for our 1yr anniversary. Doc said there was no problem just to get up every 1/2 hr or so on the plane and walk around and to drinks lots of water.

Re: Traveling while newly pregnant?

it's ok to travel up until around 34-36 weeks.

I travelled at 9-10 weeks my first PG and was fine

I am 19 weeks and I'm flying tomorrow!

Re: Traveling while newly pregnant?

I flew at 13/14 weeks and I was just uncomfortable

DH and I went to alaska when I was 6-7 weeks (we had planned it LONG ago) and we had to take a 1 1/2 hr flight and then a 4 hr. flight. I was SO sick and tired! Morning sickness kicked in full gear on the trip.
