If you are having a healthy pregnancy, flying is generally safe. The best time to fly is during the second trimester when you're likely past morning sickness and not yet too large to move around easily. Before booking, consult your doctor and discuss your travel plans. If your doctor approves, take some precautions to stay safe and healthy during your flight. Airlines usually discourage travel after 36 weeks, so check with your airline about their policies and whether you need a doctor's note. Also, review your health insurance to understand what happens if you need medical help or deliver at your destination. For international travel, consider additional insurance for overseas coverage and medical evacuation. Visit your doctor a few weeks before your trip, especially if you have chronic health issues. During the flight, move around often to reduce the risk of blood clots, and stay hydrated. Airport body scans are safe, but you can request a hand search if preferred. Occasional flights are generally safe, but frequent flyers should consult their doctor about radiation exposure.
