As I recall, the guidelines were to avoid flying during your last trimester of pregnancy...but I looked it up and this article "Flying While Pregnant" really covers the topic well. I don't believe that flying during your 1st trimester is considere...
Thought of sharing this interesting article i was reading.
I am not sure what others have heard or experienced but in my case I had traveled in my first trimester during my first pregnancy and unfortunately i had a miscarriage.

I am really happy tp say that I too have been talking around about L-methyfolate and that the ladies with higher BMI (with overweight problems) need to take more of folic Acid, to fulfill the requirements of their body.
Very good information you posted above. Unfortunately I know women who have unsuccesfully tried for years now and they cant even afford TREATMENT. The Succesful treatments are basically out of the question for them.
As a matter of fact I have discussed the Issue with friends but am not sure how is it possible to go about doing home Birth in my Area.

Hi sukh - welcome to WEGO Health and our community of Health Activists. We're so glad you're here!
I noticed you posted on the Thyroid group that you have dealt with pregnancy related thyroid issues. It's true that pregnancy often brings on thyroid trouble, and low thyroid before and during pregnancy can be a serious issue. Usually pregnancy related thyroid issues are related to autoimmunity. Has anyone explained what type of thyroid issue you have? Certainly weight gain and constipation are signal flares that you could be battling these issues again, and you might want to revisit your thyroid profile levels (FreeT4, FreeT3, TSH and TPOabs as well as perhaps Grave's antibodies) to be sure you're not dealing with these issues again. I hope you'll consider helping others by sharing your experiences in some of our Groups too!
hey Sarah,
Wego health forum is very good. I am very excited to be part of it.
Thanks for welcoming me !
I have been searching for different issues here and elsewhere about thyroid problems and infertility and a few other things.
Now that I know you are here I will most definitely contact you when I need additional help.
I will take the quiz you referred and hope to contribute the forum :)
You may also consider starting a discussion or blog post to share your personal story or helpful resources you've found! I look forward to hearing from you more. Please let me know if you have any questions or need help navigating the site :)
I'm Sarah, the moderator in the Women's Health group. I noticed you joined and wanted to reach out and say hello to you as it doesn't look like I ever did that before! I apologize for the delayed welcome but I hope that so far you've found what you're looking for with WEGO Health. If you haven't please feel free to let me know what you'd like more information on and I'll see what I can dig up for you!
I noticed that you haven't taken our What Type of Health Activist Are You? quiz yet, and encourage you to do so; it'll tell you, and other members at WEGO Health what kind of information you like to share or how you like to learn about health conditions.
