ok.. cuz apparently her book (everyone's book) "what to expect when your expecting" says that flying in a plane is ok because your pressurized.. but being in a high altitude could deprive baby of O2...

giving O2 at the expensive of hte mother.. doesn't that then give momma breathing problems which in turn could harm the baby more?

I was thinking that maybe up in the top of the grand tetons or mt everest.. sure.. but grand canyon or going overseas? just don't see the problem there.. but then again, i'm not prego! so I wouldn't really know...

I just wanna make sure If i take her on an 8 hr overseas flight.. she's not going to have a problem (which I don't think she would because we'd be sleeping all the way)...she was supposed to tell me today what the doc said.. but hasn't yet said anything.. maybe she just doesn't wanna go?!
