Mostly would be OK: You probably shouldn't fly if you are at the last month of pregnancy due to potential for going into labor. There is also the chance for blood clots in the legs which may travel to the lungs. Recommendations: buckle up seat belt carefully under protuberant abdomen at pelvis., ensure to remain well hydrated, get up and walk around frequently whenever possible.
