Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the smaller journeys can be planned in first trimester if there are no complications.
I suggest you to get an ultrasound done and once it is normal you can plan for journey.
As it will be a air journey and of short duration it can be done.
But do take care about the diet and fluids during the journey.
Avoidance of physical strain and intercourse and good rest is advisable in 1 st trimester ie.,upto 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Any long journey is restricted to 2 nd trimester ie.,from 13 to 28 weeks of pregnancy.
Air journey is preferable always.
And rail journey is preferable to road journey.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
