Flying while pregnant

[Teddybear33]

Hi

Is it generally safe to fly in the second trimester? We had dinner with a friend last night who suggested flying was unsafe throughout the whole of pregnancy as he had a friend lose a baby at 4 months.

Does anyone have a view on this as we were considering one last holiday in may when I'll be around 22/23 weeks but I don't want to risk the baby.

Thanks

I flew in the second trimester with my youngest. A couple of weeks after I came back, I found out I had placental abruption and I needed a emergency caesarean. However, I doubt that flying had anything whatsoever to do with it. You will be fine, lots of people fly in their 3rd trimester and have no problems. x
