[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get your doctor to write you a note - no travel after 30 weeks. My DW did this to get out of frequent domestic travel in her last trimester. Her work was wanting her out on the road 2-3 days per week during weeks 32-36 and she told them to get stuffed. Even at week 30, flying for a few hours was VERY uncomfortable. Her ankles swelled up massively, the seats are tight, etc. Eight hours each way, honestly, would be miserable.

You work can send someone else and/or let you Zoom into the meeting. [/quote]

My doc literally told me point blank that she’d write me such a letter saying whatever date in pregnancy I wanted lol. This is great advice and most docs will deliver.[/quote]
+1 to these posts. Your OB will absolutely write you a note stating that you cannot fly past x week of pregnancy. I had twins, so I know it’s a little different, but my OB was willing to write me a note for whatever work accommodation I wanted even early on. If you do not want to go on this trip your OB will get you out of it. And for all the sh!t working moms end up taking after the baby is born, don’t worry about if someone thinks you’re a diva for not wanting to fly internationally at 32 weeks pregnant. [/quote]
