Jezeli czeka cie dluzszy lot to mozna obawiac sie glownie zakrzepicy
zylnej. Ciaza to stan sprzyjajacy powstawniu zakrzepow wiec taka
sytuacja jak dluzsze unieruchomienie w pozycji siedzacej + ciaza =
wyzsze ryzyko zakrzepicy.
Polecam informacje zawarte na stronach cdc:

Commercial air travel poses no special risks to a healthy pregnant
woman or her fetus. The lowered cabin pressures (kept at the equivalent
of 1,524 to 2,438 meters [5,000 to 8,000 feet]) affect fetal oxygenation
minimally because of the fetal hemoglobin dissociation curve. Severe
anemia (hemoglobin, 0.5 grams per deciliter [g/dL]), sickle-cell disease
or trait, a history of thrombophlebitis, or placental problems are
relative contraindications to flying; however, supplemental oxygen can
be ordered in advance. Each airline has policies regarding pregnancy and
flying; it is always safest to check with the airline when booking
reservations because some will require medical forms to be completed.
Domestic travel is usually permitted until the pregnant traveler is in
her 36th week of gestation, and international travel may be permitted
until the 32nd week. A pregnant woman should be advised always to carry
documentation stating her expected date of delivery.

An aisle seat at the bulkhead will provide the most space and comfort,
but a seat over the wing in the midplane region will give the smoothest
ride. A pregnant woman should be advised to walk every half hour during
a smooth flight and flex and extend her ankles frequently to prevent
phlebitis. The safety belt should always be fastened at the pelvic
level. Fluids should be taken liberally because of the dehydrating
effect of the low humidity in aircraft cabins.

Women traveling with neonates or infants should be advised to check with
their pediatricians regarding any medical contraindictions to flying.
Infants are particularly susceptible to pain with eustachian tube
collapse during pressure changes. Breast-feeding during ascent and
descent relieves this discomfort.
