Move on long flights: You are early enough in your pregnancy to fly as they restrict last trimester pregnancies. However, the long flight back to back of 24 hours is too long without getting up, moving around, exercising your feet, body. There's now new warnings about possibility of blood clot with just sitting on a plane. Get prechecked on tsa to avoid rf body scanners. The old, simple, plain walk thru ones are safer.
