Background cosmic radiation levels are also higher at altitude, which can be harmful to the foetus. Expectant mothers are, therefore, recommended to avoid flying during the first three months of pregnancy if possible.
Also says most airlines actually allow you to fly up until 35 weeks.
Found this as well....
Studies that were concerned with in-flight radiation did show a slight increase in potential problems. However, these were more related to the length of time in the air, the route flown, and other flight phenomena and not particularly relevant to the average flier.
Sorry, have probably confused you even more! :roll:
Think the outcome is, it's personal choice, but speak to GP and airline first!
