Wedding dilemma

I know it's early to be thinking about this, but I just got an e-mail about it today, so it's on my mind.  My MOH in my wedding is getting married in NYC on April 29th.  God willing, I will be 37 weeks pregnant at that point.  I'm not so nervous about the flight itself, more that I may go into labor during the weekend since it's 3 weeks from my due date.  I love this girl and would feel really bad missing it, but I don't know if it's a smart thing to do.  I obviously don't have to decide today, but would you travel from Florida to NY when you were 37 weeks pregnant?

Re: Wedding dilemma

  • I think the airlines and doctors generally frown upon you flying 3 weeks before your due date.  You should make her reschedule.

  • I would not.

    I will leave my congratulations here rather than in the other post.  That's fantastic news!

  • I wouldn't and I would think she would understand.  Congrats and a happy pregnancy to you!

  • First off, congrats!  But, most airlines won't let you fly after 36 weeks and I doubt you'd get a doctor to okay it.  My doc personally told me she doesn't want me flying after 32 or 34 weeks; can't remember which now.  It sucks to miss it, but I'm sure your friend will understand.

  • Yup, you Wong be able to travel at 37 weeks. Bummer.

  • Thanks for all the advice!  She was originally shooting for a May wedding, so we had already discussed the fact that I probably wouldn't be able to come and she obviously understood, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being overly cautious here.

    wong!

  • Yeah, I gave birth right at 38 weeks, so nope. But like everyone else already said, you won't be allowed to fly anyway.

     Congrats though!

  • Ditto everyone else. I flew at 33 weeks and was MISERABLE. Oh god. I can't imagine flying at 37 weeks.

    And yeah, no doc would be ok with that.

  • I'm glad you're all here to set me straight.  I am pregnancy dumb.

    Unless you get Sarah Palin's doctors.
