2. Of course you are not mad! I just flew to San Francisco and back and wasn't the only pregnany lady on the flight home. What do you think is risky about it? DVT? If so the risk is a bit higher for pregnant ladies - get an aisle seat and move around freqeuently during the flight. Drink lots of water. Have a lovely holiday - where are you off to? | |

Walk around lots, drink lots of wtter and maybe wear those compression socks for long haul, Most airlines let you fly up to 36 weeks, but do check, also check your travel insurance will still be valid  They do say the best time to travel is second tri, so I'd say go, and enjoy! |
