Can flying in first trimester cause miscarriage...
Is it safe to fly while I'm pregnant?
Yes, just like other kinds of pregnancy travel, flying while pregnant is safe as long as you're not too close to your due date and don't have any medical complications.
Talk with your healthcare provider before you book your flight to discuss any potential issues and get their go ahead.
How many weeks pregnant can you fly internationally
Know that almost every airline won't let women who are past 36 weeks pregnant fly – and sometimes that's even earlier for international travel.

As long as you and your baby are healthy, you shouldn't have any trouble in the pressurized cabin of a commercial airliner.
(Just remember to keep your seat belt on while you're seated – it should sit under your belly and low on your hips.) You don't need to worry about the screening machines at the airport, either. They won't harm your baby.
Your ob-gyn or midwife may be able to help you find a provider at the destination you're visiting in case you need medical attention while you're away.
