Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
It shows safe to travel by air in the second trimester of pregnancy, provided that there are no medical complications like cardiac disorder and no obstetrical conditions like placenta previa or short cervix.
In a normal pregnancy, the safe time to travel by air is between 12-32 weeks, there can be slight variations in different flight rules.
