Just wanted to know.

Also, does anyone know if it's OK to go in a jacuzzi when pregnant?

I think it's 34 weeks, but every airline has their own guidelines, and some may need a doctors note to say it's safe to fly from 28 weeks.

You aren't supposed to go in a jacuzzi when pg because it could raise your body temperature which can be bad for the baby.

check with the airline but usually until you LOOK 28 weeks.....

NOTE I was stopped when I flew at 28 weeks as I 'looked' bigger (i did Grin) however I was already aware of the rule and had all my notes plus docs letter with me.

Depends on the airline - I did a short domestic flight here in NZ (35 minutes) at 36 weeks - staff didn't even ask to see the certificate from midwife that I had got. I've also heard of people flying at 39/40 weeks here in some cases domestically.

However, for international the limit is definitely 34 and lower in some cases. Most airlines have guidance on their websites.

Depends on the airline, check the policy before booking. I just flew 1.5 hours at 31 weeks and no one asked to see any documentation. Jacuzzi wise I've been indulging but just avoided sitting with the jets on my back. The ones I have been in are no hotter than a bath, and since the mw keeps recommending I have a nice bath for my backache, I can't see it's a problem. Obv don't get in if it's really hot or stay in there for ages.
