Hi Mouse,

I have no answers for this.

My very, very slight tan discharge didn't start until the day after our flight from Bris to Sydney. It was so slight I wouldn't have gone to the GP about it. We flew back to Bris about 4 days later. It continued all along up until I had the big bleed one week later. My babies continued growing another 3.5wks past this time, with a missed miscarriage one week after that

I know heaps of women fly when pregnant with no problems. There's lots of info about flying late in pregnancy, but not very much about flying early in pregnancy. I'm interested about any effects on implantation that flying might have, seeing the first trimester is the most important development wise for the baby.

I'm sure it would be something you'd get differing opinions on. My obs was telling me that some women have run marathons in early prg with no apparent effects (not that it's recommended, mind you), whereas my GP questioned me why I'd gone ahead with the flights if I knew I was pregnant. I also now know that flying generally isn't recommended at all with twins or more, not that I had any idea I was carrying twins at that time (was 4.5 to 5 weeks during that holiday).

I guess I've just seen it as one of many risks I've tried to eliminate. And that's just based on my experience - I mean, I obviously didn't think it was an issue the first time round because I went ahead with our holiday as planned.

I'm also on the TWW now - we were due to go to Perth for a wedding and I'd been quite scared about taking a flight "just in case". We didn't go ahead with it. I still feel comfortable with the decision - the peace of mind, for me, was worth it.

All the best,

Soulmate XXXX
