travelling will not increase your risk of miscarriage. The cautions about travelling early on are because if a miscarriage is going to happen, the vast majority will happen early on -- certainly in hte first trimester. You -- like any other pregnant woman -- have a 20% risk of miscarrying, whether you are globe trotting or laying in your bed.
