Is it safe to fly during pregnancy first trimester?

Question

I have a cousins wedding coming up and it needs a short flight. Im only around 8 weeks so feeling unsure about travelling this early. Anyone flew in early pregnancy?

Jyoti Desai · Answer

Generally first trimester flying is considered safe for low risk pregnancies. The main thing is to stay hydrated and move your legs to avoid clots on long flights. I would still confirm with your gynac given your own history.

I flew early on, was fine. Just get a doctor's okay first na.

Flying is usually fine in a healthy pregnancy, but since I had complications mine asked me to avoid travel for a while. So it really depends on your specific situation. Please check with ur doctor before flying, especially first trimester.

I flew a few times in my first trimester for work and it was fine, just keep hydrated, walk a bit on long flights and wear comfy clothes. Most airlines are okay in early pregnancy. Still, get a quick okay from ur gynac before booking, especially if u have any issues.
