Would you travel to a United states virgin island or Puerto Rico arty the beginning of your eighth month? I'm not sure I want to go but getting pressure from family.

I would want to but would likely be too nervous and I'm generally pretty lax about things.

Re: Travel

That would be cutting it a bit too close for me, I would be too nervous to travel that close to delivery.

Too close there. I remember when preggo with my DD we had booked a cruise prior to DD and ended up having to cancel because The cruise line wouldn't let me on past 24 weeks. When I'm 8 months(exactly)we are doing Great Wolf but that's close compared to the Caribbean.

No way besides the fact the airline will probably turn you away. I flew at 24 weeks only to DC and I swelled horribly I would never get on a flight anytime after that.

I wouldnt travel that far into my pregnancy. If they want you to go that bad then go a month or two earlier.

Re: Travel

No, many airlines probably won't even let you fly. The change in cabin pressure could cause labor. You'll definitely swell a ton. Besides if you go early would you want to have your baby there?

If your family is pressuring you talk to your OB, most likely they will tell you no. Then you can say the dr won't let me.

I asked my ob about 25 weeks.
She said absolutely if everything is going well.

She said ACOG guidelines say no flying after 34 weeks.

Yeah, I really don't want to go. It will be around 33 or 34 weeks. My doctor just said think about what happens if you deliver there. I may just talk them the doctor advises against it. Thanks everyone.

Probably not. My doctor recommends no air travel after 32 weeks. Plus I was very uncomfortable come 32w wouldn't even want to fly.

Absolutely not. You are putting yourself and the baby at risk. I wouldn't even drive more than 4 hours in a car at that point.

Re: Travel

What does you OB say? I had some BP issues and my OB let me travel until 33 weeks. And I actually did travel right at 33 weeks. In your case, the only thing I would worry about would be medical care if something happened while I was away. Research the hospitals for where you are planning to go and if you can get good maternity/pediatric care, go for it. If not, staying on the continental US might be better.

ETA: I didn't have any swelling from being on a plane for 3 hours.

I wanted to do the same thing, but my OB didn't want me to fly outside the country. We ended up doing a more local trip anyway.

I personally wouldn't.

Your OB will probably warn you against it, unless you're comfortable with the possibility of delivering there.

The airline will probably let you fly, though it will depend on the airline. Some have policies about the 3rd trimester, though most let you fly until ~37 weeks with a drs note. But see previous point, I doubt your OB will give you that note.
