[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it strange you are traveling so far, I thought the general recommendation was not to travel farther than 1-2 hours from your hospital for the entire third trimester. In fact I thought most airplane companies would not allow a woman on the plane who was past 28-32 weeks since they don’t want to be liable for her or baby’s death if she goes on the plane.

If this is for Christmas/the holidays, your family should be visiting you and not the other way around.

That said, to each their own. I’d say it depends on where you are visiting, if it’s a rural area then fly. If you’re driving along a highway with lots of hospitals along the way (ex: driving to Boston up 95) then drive.[/quote]

This is not right.  Most US airlines let you travel until 36 or 37 weeks.  I flew with my third (a one hour flight to visit my in laws in a major city) the last day I was “legal” to do so.  It wasn’t the most comfortable flight, but baby and I were fine.
