Nuzha, I am so sorry to hear about your lose of your visa. Traveling is ok when you are pregnant you need to stay hydrated and take plenty of rest breaks. Drink bottled water, be picky about the foods you eat, so as not to get sick. Long duration in flight are generally concerning to the last few weeks of pregnancy due to lower oxygen levels. In the first trimester, it doesn’t appear to be a rise factor. Good luck.
