A member asked:
Am afraid of an air embolism and i'm 8 months pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why?: Air can only get into veins from intravenous, and is carefully watched. Pregnancy does not produce that problem. Other issues of obesity, sedentary deep vein clots are more of a concern. Amniotic fluid embolism is rare.
