Flying while 1st trimester after miscarriage

Hello we have had a miscarriage months ago and now are on the 1st month with our rainbow baby, however before getting pregnant I bought ticket to see family and so for when I’ll be flying I’ll still be on the 1st trimester but I’m afraid that the fly can make chance of having another miscarriage , did this happen to anyone ? Did u fly in the first trimester after miscarriage and nothing happens or will the flight increase the chances of having another one.
Just really scare as I don’t want this to ever happen again as this was really traumatic.
Thank you in advance

So I had a missed miscarriage and a chemical pregnancy in 2023. I fell pregnant in 2024 and was given lots of medications including blood thinners. I couldn’t get a straight answer from anyone re flying and we had a holiday booked abroad for when I’d be about 17 weeks. In the end we just moved the holiday to the following year as didn’t want to take the risk however I did have a blood clotting issue which makes it more complicated. Further down my pregnancy while chatting to a consultant he asked why I’d cancelled my holiday and I explained nobody could give me a clear answer about flying, and he said it should have been fine! This week I just found out I’m pregnant again and we go on holiday at the end of this month. I will only be 7 weeks. I’m back on blood thinners and other meds and don’t want anyone to know I’m pregnant that early, so given that the consultant said it was ok and I want to keep it a secret,I’m still going to fly.

Flying isn’t known to increase risk of miscarriage so you’ll be absolutely fine. Just keep an eye on blood clot symptoms in your legs and lungs, stay mobile, well hydrated and use compression stockings but otherwise good to go!

Theres absolutely no evidence to suggest flying has anything to with/can cause a miscarriage
