boarding a plane

I am boarding a plane in 2 hours and i am 21 weeks pregnant with my miracle baby (i was told i couldnt conceive). Anyhow its a short 1hr and 30 min flight round trip but i am terrified it will hurt the baby or cause me to miscarry. I was fine until a coworker told me the pressure would hurt the baby. Any advice to calm my nerves

They say the pressure affects the baby after 7months. I know quite a few people who flew after 7months and had healthy children soo I don't think you need to worry at 5months

You should be fine. Drink lots of water as planes are dry. And try to avoid people so you dont catch anything!  My sister flew to thailand for 16 hours at 13 weeks pregnant!
