Anyone know this? I've heard different things from my doc and my friends doc so I thought Id ask. Thanks!

I've been told not to fly anytime from 36 weeks on.

I think it depends on the airline, but I've heard 36-38 weeks. I'm planning on flying during my 30-31st weeks (if I feel up for it). I'd get a note from your doc with your due date though just to be on a safe side.

Ive also heard 36 weeks but I would go with what your doctor said.

I think I remember it's around 35 weeks or so, although airlines can be discretionary...if you are farther along, I would take a note from your doc just in case.

My doctor told me not to fly after 32 weeks.

I fly United all the time, and know their policy is to have a doctor's note in the 9th month. Otherwise I've heard 36 weeks is a good time to stop.

My doctor told me 34 weeks when I was pregnant with my son.

most airlines say 34 weeks on. the only reason is the risk going into labor. no harm is done to the baby

Thank you! My doc said 32 weeks, but I thought that sounded early. The flight will be just before 32 weeks, but I didnt want to take any chances if anyone heard earlier.

My doc says no flying after 30 weeks. I think some airlines will let you fly up to a week before your due date with a note from your doc.

How about you listen to the doctor who is treating you since they know more about you than a friend's doctor would. Many airlines won't let you fly past 32 weeks, and even if they do you have to get a doctor's note so if it is against what your doctor advises good luck getting one.
