Patient's question:
My wife is only one month pregnant and needs to take a plane to travel for work. I'm wondering if flying in the early stages of pregnancy has any impact on the baby?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, if you are newly pregnant and do not have severe high blood pressure or neurological diseases, I think taking a flight occasionally is not harmful. The factors that affect pregnant women's flights inside the aircraft include low atmospheric pressure, low oxygen levels, and the cramped space in the cabin. Although studies have proven that flying at any stage of pregnancy is safe for women, for the sake of caution, it is generally stipulated that healthy women who are less than 8 months pregnant can fly without restrictions, only requiring a pre-delivery certificate check when purchasing tickets.
