Would you fly at 11.5 weeks?

Question

We booked a trip before we found out we were pregnant. I've heard a mix bag of feedback on whether flying is safe. I'll be so close to my second trimester, but won't be at that sweet 12 week mark.

Would you fly at 11.5 weeks and feel comfortable?

Answer

Thanks for the feedback ladies! You definitely put me at ease! Now onto worrying about what to pack and how to wear a bathing suit in the awkward "Are you pregnant or are you chubby?" phase.

Answer

I'll be going on a cruise at 21 weeks, and we're flying to the cruise port. Doctor and research all say it's fine!

Answer

I'm 11 wks and just flew on Tuesday. It was perfectly fine. They're so little now, it doesn't really make a difference.

Answer

We travel a lot. With both of my previous pregnancies I flew multiple times, even in the beginning. With my last pregnancy I was at a fertility clinic and had some issues with the pregnancy, but they knew I would be flying around 8 weeks and they had no issues with it. I hope this doesn't sound harsh, but if you're going to miscarry, there's more than likely nothing you can do to prevent it. I had a few and completely beat myself up that they were my fault, but later found out it's a chromosome issue that I have. So take that trip, momma! Enjoy your pregnancy!

Answer

Flying that early is fine

Answer

I'm pregnant with twins and already had a vacation planned for the end of January (I'll be 26 weeks) and my doctor said "you absolutely should go. There's no reason not to."
