Flying In First Trimester?

Question

I’m only about 4-5 weeks and I’m supposed to be getting on a plane next week but I’m not sure how I feel about flying this early in my pregnancy? I asked the nurse today and she said I would be fine to do so but I still wonder if something could happen to my baby (Not talking about COVID, meaning flying in general.) Have you flown that early and was everything okay?

Answer

Flying will not cause harm...
I would fly if early pregnant with no concern. During COVID tho, no I wouldn't.

Answer

What would happen? Miscarriages are caused by chromosomal and genetic issues, not flying in an airplane.

Answer

No harm in flying during the first or 2nd trimester, some women even fly in their 3rd with Dr approval. But I'm sure if your Dr has labeled you at high risk maybe the recommendations change a bit, otherwise it's all up to you. I'd be worried about getting COVID more then anything. The uncertainty of short term and long term effects if you test positive are unknown (specially long term effects) and I wouldn't put myself in "risky" situations unless absolutely necessary.

Answer

Flying probably doesn’t hurt but I don’t think I would leave the states... like I don’t think I would trust resort food...
