airplane travel

When is the cut off for airplane travel during pregnancy?

[babymama1985]

I will be 32 weeks when I fly so it shouldn't be a problem. But I will get a note from my dr just in case. Thanks :)

Most airlines have a cutoff of 32 weeks for liability reasons. If you're traveling beyond this time, secure a note from your doctor. Happy flying!

I called him today and he said not after 36 weeks. I guess within the last 4 weeks theres a chance of going into labor.

Yeah, I agree to check with your doctor first.  I live in Washington state and when I checked 2 years ago the cut off was 7 months.  When I flew I was a little beyond that but absolutely no one asked how far along I was, I don't think anyone even noticed my big belly.  I did bring a paper from my doctor saying I was ok to fly just in case.  That may be a good idea for you to bring too.

My doc doesn't want me flying after 32 weeks. And no super long or international flight. If you do fly, make sure you get up and walk around ever hour or so. Also as long as your doctor didn't ground you for any medical reason, so check with your doctor first.
