I live in Florida and I'm suppose to give birth on November 22. In October i'll be 8 months preg and my family is throwing a big surprise party for my parents 30th anniversary. They live in New-York. I would like to know if it's safe for me to travel to NY.

No airline will let you travel at that month, but if you are driving make sure of two things..
1) Your insurance covers you to give birth in hosptials outisde your area..
and
2) take LOTS and lots of breaks. Give yourself like 4-5 days to get there..
Good luck, and God bless!

most physicians recommended no flying after 36 weeks... if you are before this time then (as long as you are having an uncomplicated pregnancy- it should be safe to fly). just try to get an aisle seat so you can stretch out your legs more and have easier access to the restrooms... also make sure that you get up and walk around a little or flex your ankles as much as possible (walk every hour if possible). definitely check with your doctor before you do go... but like i said, if you're having an uncomplicated pregnancy you will most likely be given the go ahead to travel. congrats on the pregnancy... good luck

It really depends on if you have any complcations with this pregnancy. Ask your doctor, he will give you a better outlook. I went from Ft. Campbell to Atlanta when I was 9 months pregnant but it was only a day trip. If you do go be sure to know where to go if you go into labor or have any difficulties. Congratulations on your pregnancy btw!

I'm not completely sure, but I think that you should drive or take the train rather than fly. The best thing to do is to ask your doctor or check with the airline that you will be flying on.

No ... My friend made reservations to fly out and she was 8 months pregnant and would not let her fly out and gave her a refund ...
She made another reservations and flew out a week later telling them she is 6 months pregnant and she went in labor in mid-air and did not tell anyone til she landed and told her mom! ...
Take amtrack ??
Ask your doctor ...

Talk to your dr and find out what he/she suggests. As long as youre having a healthy pregnancy and are not at risk for preterm labor, it should be ok.

It is not safe to fly in your last trimester...flying can bring on labour. Airlines won't let you fly either. So if you are driving go ahead...but not flying. Talk to your Dr

It could be safe for some people but you need to ask this question to your ob-gyn to get the best answer.

Your chosen mode of transport may be a determining factor...consult a obgyn...my mother was a long distance truck driver with my father and she drove truck til she was 7.5 mths preggers..but she's one of a kind so.....

It depends on you. Talk with your dr. before you plan to leave and they will tell if it will be safe for you to go or not. Good luck
