Airlines usually don't accept pregnant women past their 2nd trimester. Best to ask your OB-Gyn if he/she will write you a letter for the airline that states you are safe to fly but there are still no guarantees that they will let you board even with a purchased ticket. If your tummy is not showing as much you might be able to get away with it. My aunt was able to fly to Guam on the day she gave birth because her tummy was quite small although she gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

Your doctor will probably give you the go ahead since you are going there for the reason of delivering the baby there. The main reason they dont want women close to their due dates flying is because they could go into labor on the plane due to the changes in pressure. And it would be bad news to be that high in the air and trying to have a baby. Im sure if everything is normal, your doctor will give you the go ahead.

I am not 100% sure, but a lot of the decision depends on how well your pregnancy has been this far and the airlines. Can you call an Airline and ask what there policies are?
If you are High-Risk then I know they won't allow it.

I think it will be safe for you to travel, however I think you should probably get advice from your doctor for the trip such as what to bring with you and what to do if something take place. Also if you can, try to find a doctor to fly with you.

it will be ok travel even you are 8 months in your way to motherhood, japan and philippines is not quiet far enough to travel to, but it could be better to ask your doctor if your pregnancy is in good health and condition. because they are the one who really knows your condition. have a nice travel and congratulations in advance

You need to check with your doctor because you may need a medical clearance because I do not think they usually like you to travel that close to the due date.

I wouldn't chance something like that. Asking your doctor is your best bet though.
