Making a huge mistake. 7.5 months preggo was my SO for a simple 4.5 hour ride to beach and she was miserable in the seat

No, she has no clue what her pregnancy might bring. I was about that far along when my grandmother a few states away died and my doctor told me I shouldn't fly that close to my due date. Ended up missing her funeral.

And they should check with the airline, I think most have cutoff and will not allow pregnant women to fly after a certain point.

Most airlines have a policy where you can't fly after so many weeks and/or need medical note from their doctor to fly in the third trimester. I would not advise an 8 month pregnant woman fly and looks like they should cancel their trip.

If he goes, I'm going with the chances of divorce at 99.9%.

Mrs Pimp flew to London with our oldest in her belly in early November and the baby came less than six weeks later. Probably not too smart.

Hell no. The lower pressure in airplanes means the baby could just pop out suddenly mid-flight. Plus, if that baby is born over the middle of the Atlantic, they'll have to just leave it in the plane and hope it's still there when they fly home because it won't have a passport to clear customs.



Which by the way is particularly stupid since you risk your baby not being a US citizen if you don't get the paperwork right.

The potential lost money from the tickets is a drop in the bucket in cost of being a father. No is the answer.

Only if he wants his kid to compete for some Eastern European country in the olympics.

I'd be more concerned about her giving birth in a foreign country than I would be about the actual flight.

The pressure of a flight is around the pressure of Denver, CO. That's not how babies are born.

If he lives in a higher elevation, I wouldn’t worry about it... go for it. Otherwise, domestically, wouldn’t worry much about it. International would be a bit much, IMO.

If he wants to get divorced he would go. Is he retarded?

A little higher, but not too much. Altitude can trigger labor and cause other issues for people who live near sea level, FWIW.
