Pregnancy and Air Travel?

Up to what month is it safe for a woman to travel by air or does it depend on individual airlines?

i think it also depends on individual pregnancies, check with your dr

yes it is vary from person to person , consult the doc.

The airlines will allow you up to 37 weeks.
But a doctor should be consulted first because depending on the individual pregnancy, air travel may not be safe.
I was told not to fly after 34 weeks.

im in the army, im not allowed to travel on military planes after 28 wks and i cant fly at all after 32 wks. Hope that helps.

The safest time to travel is during the second trimester, from 12 to 24 weeks. However fine you feel, it's best to check with your doctor, midwife or consultant first that you are healthy and it's okay to fly.
You need to check your travel insurance to ensure it's valid for pregnancy, foreign travel when pregnant and covers a baby. For example, if you gave birth prematurely, your baby would need special care, which could be expensive.
Check with the airline that they'll allow you to travel. Although most companies are fine about having pregnant women on board, some are more picky and won't allow women who are more than 32 weeks pregnant with twins or 36 weeks or more without.
If you're over 28 weeks pregnant, you'll probably need to carry with you a letter from your doctor or midwife, stating details such as the fact that you're healthy and well, that it's safe for you to fly, that your pregnancy is uncomplicated and your expected due date. Otherwise you may find yourself being challenged at the check-in desk and you really don't need the stress of an altercation.

at about 4 months it will b hard well it depends if u like vomit

The cut-off is towards the end of the pregnancy around 36 weeks. I'm not sure if it's a federal regulation or set by the airlines but they all enforce it at around the same time in pregnancy.

go onto your search engine under say 'air travel and pregnancy' and you should be able to find out there.

airlines often differ, if only by a few weeks and some require a letter from your doctor to say how far pregnant you are and if there are any risks.

your doctor may also be able to tell you.

good luck.

it depends on the pregnancy. However a pregnant women will need a doctors note to fly no matter how far gone she is.
