Depends on airline.: In a normal, uncomplicated pregnancy, air travel in the seventh month is just as safe as the earlier months. You should check with the airline you plan to use, as they may require a doctor's clearance before they allow you to board an airplane. Once a woman is at 8 months or beyond, the risk of delivering an infant unexpectedly is much higher, and thus air travel is not recommended.

Flying: Every airline has it's own rules. Some of the vaccinations needed can't be given to pregnant women. Also, you want your cervix checked to make sure it is not open or very shortened. Also, you want to walk around while on the plane.
