Pregnancy Travel: It is safe in that there is no danger to either the mom or baby from flying as long as mom walks often so as not to get blood clots. The problem is most airlines do not want women at this stage to fly because of the risk of delivery.

Depends: For uncomplicated pregnancy, both the american college of ob/gyn and royal college of ob/gyn do state that most airlines will allow travel and okay to fly up to 36 weeks. Int'l flights are likely not allowed. Airlines have discretion to not allow you to fly. Greatest concern is premature labor at 35,000 ft. If you fly at 36 weeks, it's unlikely you will be able to return until after delivery
