    Its ok to fly isn't it???

    We leave on tuesday, on a 4 hr flight. Thats ok isn't it??

    Noone knows we are pregnant, and we are keeping it that way for some time too, so havent discussed this with family.

    I'll be 8 weeks, and 9.5 on the return.

    yup, flying is ok. Just make sure you do regular DVT prevention type exercises on the flight

    yep you'll be fine, I think it's past 32 (?) weeks you might need a clearance? Maybe 36? I'm sure someone will come along who knows. Have a good flight/trip

    I found that it made me feel a bit sick when I flew in the firt trimester, but otherwise no problems. You will probably be so busy looking after the kids that you wouldn't notice if you felt sick anyway.

    Yep. I flew at 10, 16, 27 and 28. It's past 36 that you need a clearance, but I would avoid flying past 28 if I possibly could. Those seats are too darn uncomfy!

    Have a great time. Your first flight will be super exciting for all.
