Appreciate your all comments & share.
Thank you

Hi,

My OB told me that she did not want me to travel during the first Tri.. Probably bc I was a high risk pregnancy... I would ask your OB what they thing about it... Best wishes to you and your family...... Mary...:)

Thank you all for your comment, its good to know..
Guess what I may not need to worry after all, AF came (12days late) this morning ..:((

I traveled during my whole pregnancy for my job all over the States - I stopped only at 34 weeks and started at 3 weeks when I did not even know I was pregnant.

Flying is generally considered safe, make sure to walk or move your legs every hour, drink a lot of water to stay hydrated. Make sure not to carry heavy suitcases.

Don't drink orange or tomato juice: I made this mistake once... I never made it again!

Yes it is safe. the main concern over flying during the first trimester is making your pregnancy symptoms, like morning sickness, worse.
