Flying at 31weeks pregnant

So, we booked a holiday to Greece for a friends wedding before I found out I was pregnant - flights, hotel and hire car, the whole lot! I will be 31 weeks pregnant flying out and 32 weeks flying back. Are we mad to be attempting this? Or should we just cancel now? I was/am so looking forward to it but as this is my first pregnancy I’ve just got no idea what to expect...

Also, any tips on the best travel insurance providers for pregnancy? Thanks!

If there are no special health issues, it's totally fine to fly at 31-32 weeks. Check the airline policy if they require a note - many airlines want one after 28 weeks.

I would keep the booking and assume that you are going unless circumstances say otherwise. make sure you take good copies of your notes with you and that you know where the nearest decent maternity unit is and also write down some key phrases that you might need. Most insurances will cover you and the baby if specifically requested so make sure you get both of you covered for any medical treatment. plan a loose fitting outfit as by then you will get pretty overheated.
