    It depends on your health condition. Please consult your doctor & take her advice.

    Your doctor can give detailed information.

    But regarding the travel per se, since you are already going to be past first trimester, provided you don't have any obstetric and other medical problems, you should be fine to travel. Just adhere to the advice given by the doctors. It is not the flying in plane alone which would be a concern, it is other aspects of the travel which would be of concern and your doctor will discuss it with you.

    Just read this link here regarding the general travel advice.

    Second trimester is generally a better period for travel. Please get clearance from your doc.
    All the best.
