Would you travel to a wedding in France at 29 weeks pregnant?

We have been invited to a friends wedding in France in August. I was really looking forward to it but assume I won't be able to go as I'll be 29 weeks pregnant?

This is my first pregnancy so I'm not sure how I will feel at that stage. I would appreciate some advice (knowing that I may have to cancel at short notice regardless, if anything isn't going well).

Yes, I'm sure. I used to work in France and I visited a friend in hospital there. It was luxurious compared to here, and her doctor was very handsome. Doesn't mean I'd be happy to unexpectedly go into labour away from home though.

But all this is by-the-by - I don't want to scare a first-time mum. She's looking for opinions and the majority say she'll be fine to travel, and she'll be home in plenty of time, and odds on she will be.

I’m sorry if I gave the impression that I was arguing with you! I was just reaffirming that yes, it could happen. Obviously it doesn’t happen THAT often, but you’d want to keep the possibility in mind.

I don’t think the situation was exactly ideal for my NCT chum, but they just made the best of it (and as I say the baby thankfully wasn’t in any danger).

France is fine, short flight, good hospitals. Have insurance and a ghic card.
