40 weeks pregnant would you fly on a 2 hour flight?

[Holly34]

If you were fit and healthy would you be ok to travel in Europe on a 2 hour flight?

Perhaps the op is busy giving birth...

If this is a normal passenger plane you're talking about, can you imagine all being trapped up there thousands of feet in the air with you in labour and all the other passengers cheering you on and watching you give birth? I wonder if perhaps you are writing a screenplay or a novel or something, because it's hard to believe anyone would contemplate this. Even if it were allowed. Which it's not.

I thought everyone knew the airlines wont let you.

Where from and to? Take a train or drive?
For what it's worth, I would fly under extreme circumstances, if you've not in labour by the time you board the plane then its very unlikely you'll give birth during a two hour flight, despite people saying they gave birth in 10 minutes start to finish! Having said that I don't think the airline would let you if they knew. But then I don't know how they would know if you don't tell them? I've flown loads of times during pregnancy, in fact I'm flying tonight at 13 weeks but no one has ever asked for any proof of gestation or even mentioned it?!

Nope. As others have said above plus no one would insure you anyway and you'd be a bloody fool to travel without insurance.

OP either in the labour ward or not liking that sometimes the answer is 'no'.

If you are flying to Europe, won't you need to fly back, even more pregnant?? Or trying to repatriate a newborn with no passport or ID?

No, you wont be able to. I flew at 36 weeks and that was the latest I could go. You even need a doctors letter that late, you wont get one for 40 weeks.

A child in my nieces school was born on a plane.
So no!

What a stupid question. Surely everyone knows that no airline would allow a woman of 40 weeks gestation on a plane?
