Did they measure your cervix at your anatomy scan? That will accurately predict preterm labor.

All of us with 34 week preemies say no, but YMMD.

No way, but then, my first came 5 weeks early.

I wouldn't want to cram my pregnant self into an airplane seat for that long.

I flew 3-4x a month during my totally uneventful first pregnancy and my last flight was at 31 weeks...and then preeclampsia symptoms started by the end of that week and I had an emergency c section for HELLP at 33 weeks. With my second pregnancy I stopped flying at 25 weeks just in case. You might go 2 weeks overdue and feel totally silly for skipping this trip—or you might already have the baby in hand by 35 weeks. No way to know!

It’s over omgggg chill.

No this is not a good idea!!

My baby was born unexpectedly at 34 weeks so no. I didn't realize anything was wrong until probably around 24 weeks (scans showed IUGR, after that I was at the doctor weekly). I had to travel (drive) at 28 weeks for a short trip and was terrified, I researched NICUs where I was going. Add in current events (Covid) and such, and I would definitely not travel at that point.

Absolutely not

Nope, are you comfortable delivering there and then driving home from Arizona with a newborn? That would probably take 5 days.

No. Absolutely not.

I'm a risk taker, but still no.

I did it but it was my second kid and it was for work. Wouldn't do it for an avoidable trip.

Helllll no

Kaiser just made me sign something saying I wouldn't go more than an hour away past 32 weeks or they wouldn't pay. I know a lot of babies born 34 weeks+, most were first babies. You won't know if it's your first baby either.

A relative is a labor and delivery nurse in a resort city, she has lots of stories like yours where babies were born while attending weddings or bachelorette parties.
