[sarahshahzad]

So m 32w preg n bcoz of some immigration issue iam asked to travel back home which is a 9 hour flight  i really dnt wanna travel i jave been asked by my lawyer to get a letter from my gp that i cant travel i need it soo bad what should i tell my gp plz reply m in so much stress..

[sarahshahzad]

I didnt got the letter its ao frustrating will be goin for private gp now...

[sarahshahzad]

M not at high risk will ask my midwive tomo

[mamichalke]

Ok so curiosity got to me... so i looked up united and american airline. American Airlines restrictions start only 7 days before due date. United is 30 days. So airlines won't restrict you at 32 weeks

[mamichalke]

Yeah. I agree. 32 weeks isn't close enough to delivery for you to not travel, unless you have high risk issues.  I know airlines have restrictions on flying, but not until much closer to due date.

I seriously doubt any doctor or airline would have an issue with you traveling at this stage. When I flew at 35 weeks with my first, nobody at any of the four airports we boarded in even raised an eyebrow, they certainly didn't ask for any paperwork proving I was fit to fly. My midwife gave me a copy of a basic cover sheet in case I needed care while away from home but besides suggesting compression socks and occasional walking while in the air there was no warning about significant risks posed by flight. I know it's not what you want to hear but I doubt that there is any reason to restrict you from taking the trip, unless you are high risk for some reason you didn't mention in your post. Sorry for the bad news.

I seriously doubt your doctor will allow you to travel on a plane at 32 weeks pregnant

[sarahshahzad]

Mesa i think they dnt let u board if ur 35w....

[mesalynn]

I believe most airline wont even let u board the plane they dont want to be responsible for u going into labor on their plane double check that

[Adolbz]

Most doctors won't let u fly at this stage just speak to him. Good luck :)

[sarahshahzad]

Thanks alot i feel so better after reading ur replies no doubt in it that iam really stressed over it i have an app with my midwife tommo i will let her knw the stress m goin through i hope she gives me the letter will let u knw tomo.

Im travelling to my country at 14 weeks which is 8 hour flight n I'm worried sick hope everything goes well for u. Keep us updated

[pregwith5th786]

So sorry what u going through hun. It must b really stressing u which is not good for the baby. U should tell your Dr everything and definately mention the stress u going through bcoz of this problem. I'm sure the immigration would know its not safe for u to travel when u r this far along with pregnancy especially if they forcing u to travel to a really hot country.

[Weezayl]

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that you are having to go through that. I would make sure that you explain the situation fully to your GP and explain that you have been asked by your lawyer to produce a letter - they know the risks involved with travelling late in pregnancy and as rabeccarice said, they should be able to make it clear that yo u are in no state to travel. Also make sure that you emphasise the stress that this is putting you through, not even a little stress is helpful during pregnancy let alone the stress that you must be under.

I really hope it works out for you. Good luck.

[rabeccarice]

If you have a goopd doc he will not let you travel. Let him know exactly what's going on and you will most likely get the letter good luck
