Its okay to travel with permission from you doctor all the way until 34 weeks you should be fine! :)

Your fine unless your doctor thinks otherwise.  I'm a flight attendant and pregnant and will stop flying at 32 weeks.

My DH is a pilot and he says no problem..

The only thing you might have to "worry" about is swelling.  You just need to make sure to get up and walk around on the plane occasionally, since it is more than a few hour flight.  I traveled to mexico from washington state during my 5th and 7th week, and then to california after I was in my 2nd trimester.  You will be fine!

I traveled at 13 weeks and i spoke to my ob befor i left he said it was fine to travel upto 34 weeks if there have been no problems with the pregnancy so far. Just keep hydrated and get up atleast once an hour to help with circulation.

You'll be fine. Just keep hydrated and walk around every hour or so so you don't get blood clots or anything. I am travelling in January from Johannesburg to New York and it's an 18 hour flight and I might be pregnant *holding thumbs* :)

I agree with the other ladies and just wanted to add, be sure to drink plenty of water so you dont get dehydrated.

I flew from Arizona to Korea (a 13 hour flight) when I was 7 weeks and now have a healthy 2 month old.
