How far long should I be when I stop flying?

Question

My husband got into a bad accident and will not drive home and I want to fly there and get him. Im just about 6 mo pregnant (23 weeks) So Ive never flown pregnant so.....how far long can you be when they tell you its not a good idea to fly anymore?

Answer 1

Remember when you fly you are exposed to radiation in that altitude, if you go from california to NYC it is somthing like as much radiation as a full set of dental xrays or something. I am not sure I would fly with a growing fetus...you still have an undeveloped fetus and caution must be used. Good luck to you and your husband.

Answer 2

That's a good question for your Doctor. However, I didn't fly at all when I was pregnant.  Better safe then sorry. I was concerned about the air quality and others being sick not to mention the cabin pressure.
