OK with walk each hr: It is safe to travel. It is important to realize that the pregnant uterus can lmpede the blood flow from the legs and that pregnant travelers have a higher incidence of deep vein thrombosis during extended travel. She should get up and walk every hour during the flight and do calf exercises while seated. Otherwise, bon voyage!
