Anyone have to talk to their doctor about flying during the second month? I have an appt with my REI soon and want to see what different docs' opinions have been. I'm leaning towards not as I'm a "geriatric pregnancy"

I have flown all throughout my pregnancy (I’m 29+ weeks now). No issues, especially as early as two months in. I’m also a “geriatric pregnancy.” The doc will likely just tell you to get up and walk around every hour to avoid blood clots, and will tell you not to fly internationally, then at all, past a certain point in your third trimester. (Of course, this is assuming you don’t have any complications. Listen to whatever your doctor says, regardless!)

Thanks for the response. I'll see what the doc says. I can't stand the term "geriatric pregnancy"!

I let the shame spiral get the better of me this week. Realized that I wasn’t going to be able to meet a deadline because I’d mismanaged my time and the project was more complex than I though. Rather than admit the mistake and suggest a new deadline, I just kept saying I’d send it tomorrow/later/so on. And then I stayed up basically three days straight working, which has only made me slower and more inefficient. So I’m still not done and now I’m in the pits of anxiety and exhaustion hell. FML.
