As far as I know, you can safely fly until you're in your third trimester. I flew this past weekend (2 hour flight) and didn't give it a second thought.

Its perfectly safe..i think most airlines let you fly until 32 weeks pregnant, aslong as there arent any problems with the pregnancy

have fun!

Please08, you're fine, unless told otherwise

I'm a Flight Attendant, the only thing I notice is how bloated I get after 5 flights a day!!!

My friend is Due first week of December, and the doc let her fly to Northern Cal from Southern Cal. Said anything that short of a flight (like flying to Ireland) wouldn't be a problem anyways. The main reason her doc said you don't fly is in case you go into labor, if it's a 9 hour flight, it's highly likely you'll give birth by the end if you were at the end of your pregnancy. At the beginning you're too early to go into labor

i just flew at 30/31 weeks, it was fine! i called my OB and she said any flying before 34 weeks (that is if you arent on any special orders) is fine. after 34 weeks i think they like you to have a medical note that says it is ok. You should be fine at just 3 months flying!

I flew on a 3.5 hour flight both ways when I was about 34 weeks and all was well.....well, all was well with the baby but it was the worst flight of my life sitting on the runway with a 1 yr old, thankfully my husband was with us, but I had just been released from 4 days in the hospital and doc said to fly cause he didn't want me in a car for that long, saldy I could have driven home in the time I sat on that airplane, UGH...sorry for the rant, hehe
