Re: Traveling while pregnant.
I will be flying on Sunday and will be 4w 4 days, my RE said that it is fine. Think about it - there are woman that don't even know they're pregnant this early & fly and everything is fine !!
Enjoy your trip !!

Re: Traveling while pregnant.
They are scare they I may lose the baby, cause it was hard for me to conceive. I conceived via IVF.
First grandbaby. It feels like I am on a leash lol.....Every hour they would ask me if I ate, drank water, and if I am taking it easy. Hello I am at work and i do have to move around and I would never starve my baby. Oh boy, I wonder whats going to happen when i gift birth.

Re: Traveling while pregnant.
I flew MANY times when I was pregnant with my son. It is safe until the 3rd trimester. Just drink a lot of water and move around when you can.

Re: Traveling while pregnant.
If your doctor said it's safe, then go.
You will see that everyone has a medical degree once you announce your pregnant. Listen to your doc and enjoy your trip!

Re: Traveling while pregnant.
I went to Disney World when I was 25 weeks.
When I was on the plane, I just kept the window shade down so as not to be exposed to the sun. The main concern of flying that far along is the radiation from being so close to the sun.
