advice

Me and my husband have been trying to convine for about a year and I never really have hope because Im so use to be being disappointed but this month I do have hope and im also a little worried. you see a family member of mine is dying and everyone is trying to get a chance to see him. he lives in California and im in nyc. I suppose to go see him in 2 months and I hope with all my heart that I will be pregnant by then but obviously it will be in the early stage I am worried that if i find out im preganant and go on the trip in the early weeks of my pregnancy i will be putting my baby at risk being on the plane and in stress but i worry if i dont go I will miss my last chance to see him. anyone been in a similar situation how did you handle it
