I flew cross country twice from 14 to18 weeks. The last flight was nonstop. I'm now 29 weeks.

Most travel insurance companies won't insure after you're 26 weeks. I think the concern for parents is what can go wrong in the early months and not being in a country with decent healthcare etc. Flying won't actually impact the pregnancy in any way. If you want peace of mind run it past your ob and check your travel documents to make sure you're covered if you need any assistance or support on your travels. Enjoy your trip! :-)

I flew when I was 14 weeks pregnant and all I fine. I had my doctors approval.  I was told it was safe to fly for the first 7 months.

I flew from week 1 to week 34 almost every week when I was pregnant. Probably not a problem for you but call your ob-gyn to make sure it's OK! Have fun!

This is something to check with ur Ob about but I haven't heard that. I heard the farther along u are 7months or more is the most critical time when it comes to flying. U should be ok but if u want professional confirmation I would check with the Ob. Good luck to u and Happy Holiday.
