    Flying

    Hi, I too often wondered if flying had something to do with my m/c. On March 31st of this year I got married and went on a 2 week honeymoon to Vegas, San Diego and a 7 day cruise to Mexico. I got pregnant on our honeymoon but had a m/c @ 7 weeks and 4days. I had gone to the doctor the week before for my first u/s and she said that she saw a hb and that everything was fine. Excatly a week latter I started to have brown spotting that turned to red. I went to the er and had to have a D&C that day. My dh and I often wonder if the waves on the ship and the flying maybe didn't let our baby implant correctly but it also could have been from the drinking that we did since we were on our hm and didn't know yet.

    There is a website that I go to called realsavvymoms and if you look at the left side you will see "ask our experts" click on midwife and you can register and ask her questions. I asked her about flying since my uncle in California is getting married next month and she said that it would be fine to fly, so I guess according to her flying shouldn't affect pregnancy. We don't know if we are going to go but my AF is due before the wedding so will know more then.

    Hope this helps I found the website to be very helpful.
