My hubby and I were planning to have our short babymoon trip for nearby countries for 4-5 days only. I have checked AA (they only allowed till 34 weeks) and MAS (they allowed till 36 weeks for single pregnancy). Although MAS stated that I would need to have a letter from doctor for fit to travel and need to sign a declaration form, but the rules are quite vague. Eg. validity of the doctor letter, or how if the ground crew rejected me on the spot?

Hope anyone who can share this experience. I really worried if we planned everything but last minute unable to onboard the flight. Thanks!

Please don't take risk. my baby were born 33weeks 6days prematured recently. Please stay safe. This kind of risk is not worth taking.

Thanks for the advice. Initially planned to go for island trip to relax but too bad we couldn't arrange the trip earlier.

Yes you will need a written letter from doctor but they may still deny your access.

Better go somewhere not required to fly or take ground transport

Yup, even the doctor and the airline customer service couldn't guarantee besides than giving the official answer.

Seems like need to reconsider our trip again unsure.gif .

If you are after 7 months better don't travel. Not good for baby and anything can happen

We traveled to Fukuoka Japan on AA at Week 30-31. Just needed doctor's letter and be at the airport earlier to fill up a form. My wife had a checkup 2 days before the trip to make sure baby is ok.

At week 34 however, my advice is avoid flying unless it's unavoidable. MAS might allow you to fly since it's up to 36 weeks but consider somewhere that's drive-able.

Enjoy rest of the pregnancy and safe delivery!

Yup, true. Go near near at least the distance not far away if anything happen

dont understand why people want to take the risk just for short holiday.
anything can happen during the trip, not only aeroplane, but also resort etc. imagine you need to go to hospital where you are at a strange place, use public transport?
even resort, island is so remote, you can get good doctors to attend to you?
Please be a responsible parent, otherwise dont concieve.

I'm not sure why you sounded so harsh especially the last sentence. Sounds likes you assume that we conceived accidentally yet want to travel. My hubby just want to give me a birthday trip before we are entering the parenthood and I'm trying to seek everyone advice before deciding on our trip.
