Can i fly overseas when on second trimester?

Ok, i am planning to visit my family in Europe. I am concerned if its safe to fly on the second trimester, i would fly at the beginning of the 4th month and fly back to US beginning of the 6th month. Did anybody fly overseas pregnant, any tips would be much appreciated. Thnx alot.

1. Most airlines have a cut off date in which they will let a pregnant woman fly. It's best to ask your airline AND your doctor.
2. my cousin when to Jamaica when she was 4 months pregnant.
3. If you and the baby are both healthy, then it's fine to fly in the second trimester. Most airlines have a cut off date in the third trimester, the second is fine. They do however usually let you travel in the third IF you have a letter from your doctor, though airline dependent of course. You shouldn't have any trouble in the second trimester at all, as long aas everything is going along normally as it should. Your doctor and the airline can confirm this - just give the airline a call.
4. i flew at five months and was fine but i brought some crystallized ginger with me just in case of any motion sickness
