For an hourlong flight i wouldn't think so. Make sure you drink water i would say. I did a 3 hour flight each way and a 5 hour ea way flight and had to move cross country driving. I was in the 20s weeks but that stuff worked for me. Oh and i asked to get pat down instead of going through scanners just in case. I always directly asked a female agent and they didn't question it. I asked a man once and he tried to convince me for like 2 seconds to go in scanner. I just said dr suggested not to(she didnt but it shut him up).  I read there's no known problems with the scanners, but since they're so new i figured i'd better be safe.

I assume you talked to your dr for an ok. My tips after that would be wear circulation socks, get up and move around a lot, take advantage of the bathroom when you can in case of turbulence (i missed a chance once and there was 45 minutes of it.)and roll your ankles in each direction often while sitting.
