A member asked:
Is it safe to fly during pregnancy because of the possible effects of radiation from space on the fetus?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: All of our bodies are subjected to different kinds of radiation all day and everyday. While there is more radiation we are exposed to while flying, we don't think it is dangerous to you or your baby.
