There isn’t anything inherently dangerous about changing altitude or cabin pressurization that can injure your baby or cause labor to begin, but there is a common health risk associated with flying that could be a bigger problem for a pregnant woman. During pregnancy your estrogen levels are higher and that increases blood clotting. Sitting for extended periods can cause dangerous blood clots called deep vein thrombosis. Plus, the weight from the baby causes pressure that slows blood flow back to the heart and this can also make blood clots more likely.

That’s a lot to handle but there are things you can do to recover faster after a C-section.
