Just struck me that I have arranged a trip with work when I will be over 20 weeks. Not sure if I can still fly then?? Anyone know??

Sure you can. i think ryanair say 27 weeks is their limit, I think you can fly up to 35 weeks with a drs cert, so 20 weeks is utterly fine. I am flying at 26 weeks, I got a Dr cert just in case, but generally, if in doubt at the checkout, lie. How are they going to know your due date..

Most will let you fly till 30 weeks without permission, then from 30-35ish weeks you need a certificate/note from your doctor. Differs if you are carrying twins I believe. Check the website of the airline you are using - it'll be on there.

Haha, I look like a big elephant so don't think I'll get away with fibbing!! But that is good news about 26 weeks plus
