[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's my scenario: business class, 30 weeks, flight to developing country in Asia, but would be in major city in 4 star hotel the entire time, with access to well-connected local people.

PPs who walked, did you have some point of solid sleep? This is what worries me, falling back asleep for 6 hours or so and not walking during that time.

Would you take this trip? I felt fine for my entire last pregnancy, energy levels were good, and stayed very active. [/quote]

In business class it's less of an issue sleeping because your feet are elevated.  Recognize the risk of DVT, but realize it's a bigger deal in a coach seat.  I would NOT do this trip in coach while pregnant, in business or first - in a heartbeat.

Of course, I've never had 6 hours of sleep on an airplane, so take my advice for what it's worth.

I would worry about the developing country part though (I'm the PP who did Tokyo and Seoul).  Does your company have a medical department you can talk to?  Are malaria meds needed?  Any strange vaccines you would need?  I wouldn't get Japanese encephalitis vaccine while pregnant, for example (it's probably not even allowed then).[/quote]
