The American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists (ACOG, 2002) indicates in their guidelines for pregnant
travelers that "in the absence of obstetric or medical complications,
pregnant women can observe the same general precautions for air travel as
the general population and can fly safely up to 36 weeks of gestation." The
safest time is during the second trimester (18-24 weeks). ACOG committee opinion. Air travel during pregnancy. Int J Gyn Obst 2002;76:338-339. |
