You have to question the wisdom (and motives) of someone flying whilst eight months pregnant, with current medical advice.

Doctor says its safe but nature decides otherwise... can happen.

Either the body telling 'i'm finished, lets get outta here' or lack of uterus muscle strength. sister of my girlfried has that, ended up in one delivered at about 20 weeks that died 3 days later and the second one just in the safe margin with her drugged up to keep the small guy in until it was safe to deliver

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

If she was 8 months then just about any doctor would say not to fly. 9 months is only a calculation from a womans last menstrual cycle. Bearing in mind that it can continue throughout pregnancy, some women do not know they are pregnant right away. 8 months as quoted is pretty much delivery time. How many people here with children had them arrive on the allotted day. I was two weeks late, one of my boys was a week late and the other 2 1/2 weeks early. The skeptic in me says flying at that late a stage of pregnancy, the prospective mother is after more than a bundle of joy.

Doesn't make a person's decision to get on the aeroplane any less irresponsible.

What if there'd been complications during the birth? You could then be landing with an additional passenger, two very sick, or even in the worst case, two dead passengers - and an aircraft load of pax who'd have the trauma of having had to sit through it.

Why anyone would do it I don't know. You're potentially putting your own, and your (as yet unborn) child's lives at risk.

I was three weeks late, and apparently I came out toasted Undecided
