Can i travel to america on 8th month of pregnancy?
My sister is settled in US and really wants me to deliver there. But its such a long flight na, im worried whether its even allowed at 8 months. Anyone travelled that late, pls share ur experience.
8th month long haul travel is risky and many airlines also restrict flying that late, plus you need a fit to fly note. After my complications I was advised against long flights near the end. Please ask your gynac before booking anything, this isnt something to decide alone.
Most airlines need a doctor's certificate after a certain week and many wont allow flying close to your due date. The safest answer comes from your gynac after assessing you. Please get her clearance before planning such a long trip.
Apart from the medical side, think about delivery costs abroad which can be huge without proper insurance. Check the airline's pregnancy policy and your insurance coverage carefully. Honestly the planning around this is a lot, so confirm everything early.
