Gliders (small marsupials of Australia) do not fly. The only mammal capable of free flight is the bat.
Gliders glide by means of skin membranes. They have a membrane of skin which stretches from their wrists to their ankles, which enables them to glide between treetops. They do not fly but, depending upon the species are capable of gliding between 50m and 80m. They must always launch out from higher points such as treetops or power poles.

Are sugar gliders bad for a pregnant women?
No, but I would not recommend sugar gliders as a pet for a pregnant woman, if the woman is new to sugar gliders. The reason is that sugar gliders are very high maintenance pets -- and of course babies are very high maintenance. I would recommend that the pregnant woman adjust first to being a new mom before she dives into owning sugar gliders.
