True or False? Traveling by plane during pregnancy can harm an unborn baby.

This is False:

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, the safest time to fly is during your second trimester. This is because you are past the period where most miscarriages naturally occur and before being at risk of early labor. The flight itself will not cause either scenario but it can be very challenging if it occurs while you’re in the air. Flying is not recommended after 35 weeks.
