Flying while pregnant?

Currently 5w pregnant but flying frequently as a career. Any advise on flying and protecting myself and bb? Have been pacing myself quite a bit and not over exerting. Will probably need to hold out until 10w before I can stop flying... Any advise and reassurance helps! #advicepls #firsttimemom #pleasehelp #FTM #firstbaby #firstmom

I flew at 8 and 10 weeks, then at 12, 14, 16, 20 and 22, 8 flights during the pregnancy… actually I felt very good at the plane. If you and the baby are healthy planes are ok. Try to sit legs up and drink a lot of water. I always take an asylum seat, drink and go to the lavatory a lot. You can also wear compression socks. But I have never done long flights (more than 5 hours) during pregnancy. I know people who have, so, it must be ok as well!
