Airport screening

Hello mammas!!
I'm very curious as to the airport screening they have. I'm 5 weeks and  flying this weekend, I'm wondering if it's safe to go through the screening or ask for a pat down. I don't want to take any risks.. Idk how safe that is.

I'm wondering the same thing DIA uses this scanner that you step into and it rotates around your body. Is that what you have at your airport? I think I'm going to ask my doctor about it I have to go to Alaska at the end of the month. I looked it up on the TSA website and it was pretty vague.

I flew at 8/9 weeks pregnant. I would worry more about getting sick on the plane and where the bathrooms are in the airport. :)

When I flew back in June I was 25 and 27 weeks pregnant. Its safe to walk through the metal detectors (I was visibly pregnant but still mentioned and asked if it was okay)

I did get my belly ended up being pat down though, so don't be surprised if they do that lol. But besides that its all good!

I live on a military base and go through the metal detectors all the time for various events that our base holds and its perfectly safe!
