[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course God forbid any of us were in this type of scenario but what happens? Does the country she delivered in allow her to stay with the baby in the NICU? Or would they fly them back to the States?

I had a baby who had to stay in the hospital after birth and I have wondered what would have happened if she was delivered while I was in England or  any other country , etc…

There is a reason pregnant pregnant women are told not to fly after a certain time.  Disregard my medical advice and pay the consequences.

You do realize babies are born at 27/28 weeks and most doctors don't say not to fly at that point.

Unless you believe pregnant woman shouldn't fly at all.[/quote]

I think pregnant women past the point of viability should not travel to places where they would not want to give birth. And before the point of viability, should not travel to places where they are unable to get lifesaving care if needed. Of course sometimes there are reasons people choose to travel despite the risks, which are rare but potentially extremely serious. [/quote]
