Dear Indhusrinivas
She can travel until she is 28 weeks pregnant.
Later many airlines will not let her travel without any proper permission document from her care provider.
Many aircrafts have safe airpressure maintained and not much to worry thus.
She can keep walking and place her legs not flexed, not hanging rather in forward way (putting below front chair). She can drink plenty of liquid and empty bladder as frequent as she can.

This is the safest time for her to travel in air. Once she is 6.5 months then it's difficult.

Your Dr. will provide lot more information on what to and what not to do while in aircraft.

Take action asap.

Archie

Hi Archie,

I have been reading many different qeries on the discussion board and am finding your answers almost to every question with many logical answers and medical terms. Are you a doc by profession?? just curious to know... May be I can write my difficulties addressing to you.

Please don't take it otherwise... its always good to know whose advice you are following.. am I right?

Take care,
