CHECK THIS VERY CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!
You can actually fly with some airlines up to 35 weeks but you must have a 'fit to fly' certificate - don't be caught out with this do all the checks yourself and don't believe anything you are told verbally unless you see it written down - I warn you from my experience which was very stressful - we had been to Tenerife when I was expecting Emerson - flown out at 27 weeks flew back three weeks later at 30 weeks - I had been told by the travel agent it was ok - but the airline would not let me fly until i had a doctors certificate - we found this out 2 hours before we were due to fly home!!!!! - luckily for us my parents were with us and they took our oldest two through check and said don't worry about them - (we had changed them onto their own passports before that holiday too whcih was lucky!) We had to do a mad dash at 9.30 in the evening to the hospital to try and find a gynacologist to do an internal scan and get a fit to fly certificate - we were very lucky that we managed to get it sorted but it cost a lot too - good job we had the plastic!!
So please do check the small print yourself and don't rely on a verbal confirmation!
