Have to check with the airline and your health provider :) usually need a fit to fly letter I believe

You should be, but like the above comment, you need to check with air lines & your dr and might need a letter to fly, but definitely check with the air lines because you may be able to leave but not come back because of the days/ weeks different

I did but checked with OB first. Some airlines won’t let you after a certain point

What airline are you flying with? I'm flying with easyjet at 25-26 weeks and don't need any medical letter because you don't need any medical letters unless your over 35 weeks with easy jet I'm not sure about other airlines x

Flying at 27 weeks for 2 week holiday. All fine!

Need a fit to fly note..doctors charge too think it was £25 and does take 1 week to come back I got asked twice there & back at check in both ends so do make sure u have one before u go

tbh, most airlines let you fly until around 36 weeks, but definitely check with your doc first just to be safe! this is what the 'Heal Baby Care App' mentioned… hope it helps! "Flying at 28 weeks and 5 days is generally considered safe for most pregnant women, but it can depend on your individual health and any complications you may have. It's important to check with your healthcare provider, especially if you have any risk factors like high blood pressure or a history of preterm labor. Make sure to stay hydrated, move around during the flight, and wear comfortable clothing. Have you experienced any complications during your pregnancy that might affect your travel plans?"
