Is radiation from airplanes harmful to my baby?

No: The amount of radiation exposure is probably too little to cause any effect on the baby even for women who fly often.

Yes: The radiation in airplanes is safe during pregnancy. There's not been any study to date that has demonstrated fetal harm from casual commercial airplane flying.
