A member asked:

Are there any risks/concerns travelling long haul flights (sa to europe) before 12 weeks pregnant?

Possibly: One of the biggest risk while traveling when pregnant on especialy long flights is the propensity towards blood clot formation. Pregnancy is already a risk for leg clots, but add to that prolonged sitting and the risk increases. Take frequent walk breaks in the ailes and stretch your calves regularly
