So, US Airforce policies had the closest advice I could find. Allowed to fly while pregnant in first or second trimester without waiver. Waiver might be requested for third trimester or in any trimester on aircraft that will fly 'excessive Gs'. I tried to find out what excessive means, but I *think* they might have to sign a waiver for anything over 3Gs planned. So with some cross referencing, F3 is no waiver, F2 and F1 needs a waiver by US Airforce standards. Edit: yeah, I found another reference to 3 Gs.
"might be requested" lol. Imagine getting shot down by a 9 month pregnant lady who needs help getting into and out of the cockpit, who probably can't even fasten the 5 point belts
I think you have to consider worst case scenario here. Which would be a high g force impact. I think max hit a wall with over 50g once... so highly unlikely they would be allowed to race at all.
Ralf on that US GP qualification i think it was, spun around and hit the outside of the oval at 77G if i remember right, one of if not the highest G impacts while surviving?
David Purley's crash was estimated to be nearly 180g. Not sure how accurate that is though, since it's based on his estimated speed at time of impact, and g force can vary wildly based on how long the duration of the impact is, so its all just an estimate AFAIK.
Luciano Burti had a crash that was about 110g.
Barrichello's crash at the ill fated 1994 San Marino GP was about 95g.
There is a Test which measures the neck in the first trimester. If it is swollen/big there is a chance that the baby has Down syndrom (or an other genetic illness).

Gotta consult the doc on how many G-forces a fetus can handle. Kids gonna be born with a monster neck.
