A totally different: Idea. Consider auricular acupuncture before flights. Very tiny needles are used which remain in the ears for up to 7 days. This is highly effective & would have no negative impacts on pregnancy. See you are receiving behavioral therapy. If you aren't receiving cognitive behavioral therapy - that is a great idea.

VRT for Phobias: Try to locate a therapist who uses Virtual Reality Therapy(VRT) for phobias. The research is very positive on the use of VRT for fears and phobias. Take a look at these sites: www.psious.com, www.limbix.com or www.virtuallybetter.com.
