Is it safe for pregnant women to fly?

I am 4 months pregnant and I want to travel with my husband. Is it safe to fly?

Thanks for a good question. As long as you don't have any complications that would preclude you, air travel is safe in pregnancy. Most obstetric providers won't want you in the air and away from home beyond about 34-36 weeks. Remember to get plenty of fluids and keep your legs active to promote good blood flow.
Hope this helps!
