Brief Answer:
It is safer to avoid traveling

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting us with your health question

Traveling during the 7th month is not a problem per se. If you do not have a complicated pregnancy, traveling including taking flights is safe.

However, given the current COVID-19 pandemic situation and the uncertainties associated, it is better to avoid traveling if possible.

Travelling can put you at risk for COVID infection. The effect of the disease on pregnancy is not completely understood. So better to avoid taking chances.

Hope this answers your question
