Hello. I posted this in another group but got no response. I was
wondering if anyone here might be able to point me in the right
direction.
Best thing to do is check with her OB/Gyn and see what he says, as
well as quizzing your AME. Only biggie would be seatbelt adjustments
as things progress. As to picking flight levels, I would stay pretty
low unless you have an O2 system, and definately get a good CO
detector for the cockpit. Realize that the ones that the hardware
stores sell are not that accurate. We have some at work that recently
indicated a CO level of 140 while the high dollar sniffer that the
tech just had calibrated a few minutes before showed 20. It's nice to
be warned early, but giving you bad numbers could cause a temporary
panic.
My wife had some difficulty on commercial flights when she was
preggers due to cabin altitude. I didn't have any of my aircraft
flying at the time to make a comparison, so your wife's experience may
vary.
