Another question - Is it ok to fly during early pregnancy?

I have a flight scheduled for Nov 20 and which will be around 9 weeks pregnant for me. I'm flying from Oregon to Arizona so it's not a long flight but I'm concerned if this is safe or not. I need to take a test so I can get my teaching credentials and I have to fly to Arizona to do it. I have my first prenatal appointment during 8 weeks pregnant but that would be too close to have to cancel and get money back if needed. I'm leaning towards canceling it, but I'm not sure.

Flying is perfectly safe while except towards the end since you run the risk of going into labor on the flight. I flew twice during my pregnancy. Once at 6 weeks and again at 16 weeks.

Ps. Congrats!

I think I was told 32 weeks and earlier I just remember she said no more then 1 hour away from the hospital after April 11th for me, I am 9 weeks now.
