what is the latest week that a preg. woman is allowed on a flight?

Question

I have called airlines, but they only have reservation options.

Answer 1

You aren't supposed to go after 36 weeks, but if they don't know, it wont hurt them. Its up to the airline whether or not to let you fly. It doesnt matter if you have a doctors note or not. If the airline says no, you cant go. Period. But I flew at 38 weeks and no one question me. They asked how far along I was, and I said 9 months...they just congratulated me.

Answer 2

I went on a F27 w/ doctor consent when I was 36 weeks pregnant. This is considered term. It was safer for me to fly to this destination than drive 48 hours through the western desert of California and Utah. It was a short flight. The next day I gave birth to a 9lbs 2oz. baby boy who was totally healthy.

It depends on why you are flying and what your alternatives are and how safe those alternatives are.

Answer 3

I believe it depends on the airline. Some it's no fly during 3rd trimester.

Answer 4

First off you have to have a note from your doc if you are in your third trimester. I don't know what the last week you can fly is. You probably cannot be in your last month. Take care.

Answer 5

I think they are pretty much allowed on until it is close to due date then no. But the only way to make sure is to call a midwife or doctor about it

Answer 6

I think its until 7th month. Varies from Airline to Airline. If your stamach is too alrge they may disallow even before 7th month.

Answer 7

I think you can travel anytime if you're feeling ok. However, most Dr.s don't recommend you fly after 7 months or so. I'd ask my Dr.

Answer 8

You can't fly in your last trimester of pregnancy. So that's month 7-9 that you can't fly

Answer 9

7 months with doctors consent

Answer 10

20 weeks i think - be careful tho
