Is it ok to fly 19 weeks pregnant with APS?

What do you reckon? It is only a short haul flight from London to Belfast. I am on Fragmin nightly injections and aspirin. I will be 19 weeks pregnant. Any advice greatly received. Thank you

Hi, please email the secretaries of your main consultant and GP, marked for their attention! So you have a letter if necessary, I personally would not fly without the correct medical advice, after which it will probably not be a problem. MaryF

If there are no other issues with your pregnancy..go for it. If you are seeing an obstetrician..you can ask them, but I am sure there will be no concerns with flying.

I was told not to fly at any stage of pregnancy and was on fragmin and aspirin. But ring your consultant and ask.

Hmmm, mixed views... I will contact consultant (whom I have not actually even seen yet!) and hope for some answers. Thank you

Definitely ask but I flew at 14 weeks pregnant on aspirin and heparin. It was an 8 hour flight to the US. I got a letter from my GP and was fine.
