Flying when pregnant

Hi everyone,
I'm meant to be going on holiday at which time I will probably be around 8 weeks pregnant, am I safe to fly?

I have traveled at 2/3/4/7 months 
there is a cut off at the end of 7 months but because of airline insurance (in case you give birth on air)
Tbh with you, I would think twice regarding coronavirus.....

Yes but I think you’re mad flying right now unless you absolutely have to. One of my friends has just got corona after coming back from holiday.

I flew to Oz when I was 9 weeks pg, but this was 10 years ago so no corona.

Yes it's fine, I flew quite a bit in my first pregnancy, including long haul. I'd think twice about flying anywhere in pregnancy with corona around but guess it depends where for are going!

I may be mad but the steps they take abroad are even more than in the UK, which I knew it would be. I've been back weeks now and neither of us have got it
