Is it true that a pregnant woman is not allowed to travel by plane after 7 months of pregnancy ?

Question

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS PREGNANT AND SHE WSA TOLD SHE CANT TRAVEL BECAUSE SHE IS 8 MONTHS PREGNANT, JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS INFACT IS TRUE?

Answer 1

The time range varies by doctor, but that is about right. Aside from the lack of facilities to deal with childbirth on a plane, the changes in air pressure can actually cause a woman to go into labor early.

Regarding the pressure change, there is a correlation between an increase of baby deliveries during snow/rain storms.

Answer 2

All airlines recommend you consult your physician before travel at any time during pregnancy. Play it safe by getting a "permission-to-travel" letter from your doctor. You won't -- and shouldn't -- get one if your pregnancy is considered high-risk. Be sure to take your due date into consideration on the return trip, too. And before you plan a cross-country or international flight, remember how you'll feel squeezed into a seat for hours.

Answer 3

medical doctors do no longer recommend flying after a undeniable element in being pregnant. maximum medical doctors will say no to it. it particularly is often around this element...approximately 37 weeks. And if a checklist says no...i does no longer do it...that ought to easily be knowingly putting my toddler in threat. There are loopy issues that elevation and all those differences up there do to a physique and there is definately a reason for it. airlines do no longer must be good for women folk who fly late and have issues, so they have each and every good to limit some lady. purely look on the airlines website or call them and ask them regulations...and what you ought to do to fly.

Answer 4

There is a concern with pressure changes that might cause labor to start. If you go to the website of the airlines (or call them) they will have their specific rules posted. I went on a flight at the end of my 7th month. According to the airline's policy, that was fine. But above all, always check with the ob/gyn.

Answer 5

I was 8 months then my doctor cut me off from flying. My doctor also hap a problem with me going out of town ( like somewhere far ) even by car. He told me that it is for my safety and the safety of the baby.

So the answer is yes, but I thought it was at 8 months....could of changed though.

Answer 6

Yes, usually if you are really healthy you can travel up to 35 weeks. Otherwise around six months.
