ANY ANSWERS WOULD HELP...PLEASE

I am 29 and a half weeks and i'm flying out tomorrow to California...I''m soooooooo nervous about flying now that i'm pregnant even though my OB said that it is ok.
I went last time to L&D just to have my baby monitored because i didn't feel it move very much but they said that everything was ok and the HB was ok....
I'm so worried about the take off and landing and if there is any turburlance or anything or even the cabin pressure. Did any of you fly out while you were pregnant or are pregnant? I'm just so nervous and i want everything to be ok with my baby...and i don't want anything to happen....
Any answers would be greatly appreciated :)

I flew at 6 and 7 weeks and was fine.  Stay hydrated - don't feel bad about crawling over people to go to the bathroom on the flight.  My dr said to get up about every 30 min or so just to stretch. I ended up taking a nap for part of one of the flights and was just fine...  Good luck!

You're still early so I think you'll be fine..the only is is to make sure you get up and walk around often...this will keep circulation going!

i think the only thing they worry about is if you are nearly due you will go into labour on the plain but if your OB thinks it is ok just take it easy and you should be fine
