I've always read that airlines won't let you fly after 36 weeks. The changes in pressure *may* put you into labor and nobody wants to have their water break at 30,000 feet! ;o) I've flown at 32 weeks and it was mostly just uncomfortable to sit in an airplane seat and try to maneuver into the tiny bathrooms than it be a safety issue. Talk to your dr about any concerns, but at 27 weeks, you should be fine!

you should call the company you are flying with. if you have had no problems with your pregnancy then your doctor will say that you can fly until like 36 weeks. most airlines wont let you fly when you are after 8 months pregnant, but it is really up to that specific airline. good luck and have fun!!!

You'll have to call the airline you plan to use and ask them, to be honest. Some won't let you fly in the 3rd trimester no matter how dangerous an OB says it is or isn't b/c it's assuming liability once you get on their plane.

lots of people fly mutually as they are pregnant, maximum surprising up until approximately 7 or 8 months. My daughter flew whilst she became 8 months pregnant, however at that time you will desire to probable verify with your midwife or physician.

my doctor wouldn't let me after 36 wks. I went on my last trip at 34 wks. I flew NWA and United and no one ever questioned me how far I was along.

Airlines typically prefer you not to fly once you're in your third trimester (last three months) and can actually deny boarding if they choose.

you dont call the airline to ask....you call your OB/GYN...i flew at 30 weeks...as long as you are healthy, the baby is healthy and your doctor says its ok, then you can fly....i have known women who have flown at 38 weeks...its just more uncomfortable the longer you wait and the bigger you get

It normally isnt concider hazardus to fly until you get within about a month of your duedate. Though, if you are concerned, talk to your doctor.

36 weeks may be a little too high risk.
