Flying causes miscarriage?

[Anonymous]

Flying doesn’t cause miscarriage. Go to the event.

Flew long haul with both pregnancies, early and middle of pregnancies. No miscarriages.

OP, you do what YOU want. Flying does not cause miscarriage

This. Do not let him control what you do when you know it's not harmful. Tell him to do some research and leave you alone.

look PPs, I'm a feminist too. this is not about controlling her body. her DH has also been through the trauma of a miscarriage and maybe he's being irrational, but this is an emotional time and it's his child too. of course, she can research. of course she can go if she wants. but is it really so horrible to think of her DH's feelings and maybe consider prioritizing those over her sister?

Yes, because OP says she wants to go. The end.

Good luck if you decide to go op, and congrats to your sister. Fwiw I flew at 7/8 weeks and was fine.

Big risk = to her marriage not her pregnancy

Oh come on.

NP here. I was recently pregnant (miscarried but unrelated - chromosomal defect). The advice I got against flying in the first trimester was on account of flying itself, but rather the exposure to germs/viruses (especially during flu season). Infection in first trimester can have out-sized effect on the fetus before the placenta is fully developed

PP - I mistyped — advice was *not* on account of flying itself...

Only because her husband is ignorant and wants to control another person based on his ignorance.

I thought it was due to all of the radiation on planes.

+1 to at least consider it. IF is hard. You don’t want to have regrets even if it is irrational.

What will you do when you husband starts telling you what to eat because of something he read on the internet? What position to sleep in? How to wear a seatbelt?

You need to stop letting him dictate your life based on groundless internet rumors. You should agree on a rule where your doctor is the only decider of what is safe or not. Not conspiracy sites.

I would not do it.

I was in this situation. I knew if I had a m/c and had flown DH would blame it on that. It would have potentially caused irreparable harm to the marriage. I didn't fly.
