I don't know about you all, but this made me so anxious just reading it....according to another source, she was 35 weeks along. WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE DOING ON AN AIRPLANE?!?!?! So so much wrong w/ this picture.

Yikes! Even if my OB didn't care there's no way I'd be on a plane that late in a multiples pregnancy.

I don't think I would be on a plane that late in a singleton pregnancy!

That woman is very lucky. There are so many things that could have gone wrong. Gives me anxiety just thinking about it.

I know...I kept thinking of all the things that could have gone wrong. She was SO lucky they could both be delivered vaginally, that they could breathe on their own etc....and yeah, short of needing to evacuate to escape a natural disaster, I can't think of any good reason to be on a plane in her condition.

But, hey, they got free flights for life out of it! :-p

Can we just link this story every time someone who is 5 weeks pregnant comes to the board to ask if it's okay to go to a wedding/shower/vacation/business trip when they are well into their third trimester?
