Flying while pregnant
I posted this question on the Pregnancy board but was hoping to get more advice. I just found out I'm pregnant again and am supposed to fly to Florida in two weeks. Does anyone know anything about flying in your first trimester. I've searched the internet for info and have found different opinions on the topic. Some say there is a link between miscarriage and flying in your first trimester. But most say that it is safe and just to walk around and drink a lot of water.
I would appreciate any info you have or past experiences. Thanks!

Re: Flying while pregnant
Totally safe. I think the only time the Dr's say no is in your 3 trimester

I flew the entire time I was pregnant with Alex up until my 33rd week.

Re: Flying while pregnant
Congratulations on your pregnancy 
I would check with your doctor for any specifics for you, but generally speaking, you will be fine. Just be sure to walk around a lot and keep hydrated.

Re: Flying while pregnant
It is completely safe. I flew several times in my first trimester.

Re: Flying while pregnant
You can fly in your first and second trimester. I did with both pregnancies (to Florida in my second tri with DS, and to Europe in my first tri with DD), and had no problems.

Re: Flying while pregnant
I flew home from Europe while in my 1st trimester. I found out on the honeymoon I was pregnant and had to fly home.
