Pregnant women allowed to fly before giving birth

Air travel is safe for pregnant women up to 37 weeks of pregnancy, unless they have health problems. This conclusion was made by the staff of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Expectant mothers, even at such a long term, should not be afraid of scanners at the airport and a decrease in pressure during the flight, doctors assure. Simple precautions can help avoid complications. For example, you should wear compression stockings.

Pregnant women with a high risk of premature birth (for example, multiple pregnancies) should avoid flying from 32 weeks. Only after consultation with a doctor should women with anemia, recent bleeding, a fracture, heart disease or respiratory disease be allowed to board a plane.
