Hi there. Most airlines are happy to carry pregnant women up to 27 or 28 weeks. After that, when the risk of going into labour increases, they may require a letter from your doctor stating you are fit to travel and confirming your estimated due date. Scheduled airlines tent to let women fly to around 44 weeks. British Airways is particularly generous. It allows anyone with an uncomplicated single pregnancy to travel up to 36 weeks, and anyone carrying twins (or more) up to 32 weeks. After 28 weeks need a doctor's letter. It is importantto get travel insurance!
Try this tips when you are on the board:
1. reduce stress, 2. maximise your energy, 3. eat smart, 4. make frequent pit stops, 5. get advice on vaccinations, 6. avoid the rush, 7. choose safe activities, 8. good luck!!
If you planning to born the baby in Bali make sure the baby got vaccinations such MMR. I am Balinese, when I am pregnant my first baby in London, in my blood they say I don't have rubella vaccinations. Make sure your siter got everything.
