As long as you do not have intrinsic heart or lung disease, you should due just fine. 3200 feet is not really all that much change, though you may find that you are a bit breathless at first. Of course, I am not sure how you will be able to distinguish that breathlessness from the breathlessness of pregnancy. Good Luck!
