I would try to help you to my best.   - In facxt as first 3 months fetus is a bit delicate & pregnancy is not yet setteled.. so whenever possible travel should be postponed till second three months ( 4th to 6th month ) of pregnancy.But if it's essential to travel,    - Before planning for travel, your wife should be checked up thoroughly by her treating doctor & permit her for travel. She may prescribe few medicines to be taken during travel. Take them regularly BE careful about your routine medicines ( specially Thyronorm & Gestone ) .    - try to have reclining seats/ use seat belts to prevent slightest of jerk.inquire about carrier before you start for the journey.    Thanks.
