Here's a link to some AOPA articles about flying/travelling while pregnant. I don't know if you have to be logged in member to read the sites, if the link doesn't work let me know & I'll cut & paste the body of the articles. http://search.aopa.org:9020/asp/search.a...yText=pregnancy

I wouldn't recommend climbing Mt. Everest, but I meant that altitude is 'generally' not a problem for a pregnant woman. Yes, if she were at like, 20,000' with no pressurization/oxygen, that would be bad!

The best source of info for her is her doc, he'd know her medical history & the history of the pregnancy enough to give the best travel advice.

I wouldn't have minded going overseas while pregnant. Certainly not to a third world country or anything, but I wouldn't have a problem with Europe.
