It is generally not advisable to travel after the 7th month of pregnancy, for possible complications. However deer talk to your doctor and only he can tell you whether you can travel. However I must say that if you plan to travel by plane, you can only make a statement / autorizaçãoo your doctor, as the company aerea just let it go forward that document.

For me, it is safe to travel by air even if you are pregnant. But before boarding a plane, you must consult your doctor first if it is okay. Eight months and onward pregnancy is strenous, so it is much better to slow down a bit and relax.

Some arilines will refuse to allow you to fly after 36 weeks. The likelyhood of oedema and blood pressure problems are greater, as is the risk of blood clots. After 28 weeks, some airlines require a note from your Dr confirming that you are safe to fly and that there are no problems with you or the baby. In any case, support stockings are essential and you should be getting up and walking every 30 minutes. Also, try ankle circles and writing your name in the air with your toes.

ACTUALLY IT'S REALLY SAFE TO TAKE AIR TRAVEL DURING PREGNANCY IN GENERAL. HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME LIMITATIONS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE ON THE 8TH MONTH OF PREGNANCY. MOST AIRLINE WON'T ALLOW PREGNANT WOMEN TO TRAVEL AT THIS STAGE. THERE IS ALSO ISSUES ON IMMUNIZATION FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER.
