Air travel during pregnancy: Is it safe? - MayoClinic.com Air travel during pregnancy: Is it safe? Q. Is it safe to fly during pregnancy? I've heard that it's not recommended in the first or last trimester. No name / No state A. Commercial air travel poses no special risks to a healthy pregnant woman or her fetus. However, pregnant women with certain underlying conditions are at increased risk of problems and should check with their doctors before flying. These conditions include: Severe anemia Sickle cell disease A history of blood clots Placental insufficiency The lowered air pressure in a pressurized airplane cabin has minimal effect on the fetus. During the flight, air pressure is adjusted to approximately that of between 5,000 and 8,000 feet above sea level. Although you and your baby will both have less oxygen in your blood than you would at sea level, your bodies will adjust to this. Some pregnant women worry about exposure to electromagnetic radiation from the sun at high altitudes. Although the exposure increases at higher altitudes, it's still very low and won't increase the risk of birth defects or miscarriage. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the safest time for a pregnant woman to travel is during the second trimester (18 through 24 weeks). This is when a pregnant woman has the lowest risk of miscarriage or premature labor. Many doctors recommend that women avoid flying after 36 weeks of pregnancy or if they're at risk of preterm delivery. Some tips for pregnant women who plan to fly: Ask for an aisle seat or a seat at the bulkhead — which offers the most space and comfort — or over the wings — which offers the smoothest ride. Fasten the safety belt under your abdomen across the tops of your thighs. When possible, get up and walk every half-hour and flex and extend your ankles to prevent blood clots. Drink plenty of fluids. Low humidity in the cabin has a dehydrating effect. All airlines have policies regarding pregnancy and flying. So, check with the airline before booking a flight.
