*** FLYING during PREGNANCY ??? ***

Hi there !!

        My wife is expecting and like to have the delivery at her
        mother’s place in India.  How safe is to do 20hr flying ?
        When is the earliest and latest in the pregnancy one can take
        such a long flight ?

        Just want to hear if any of you had any long flight journey experiences
        during the pregnacy period..

thanks in advance..

    Wonderful. You meet all sorts on Usenet – don’t you.

    Sorry.

    OK, you should check with a doctor (OB/GYN).  And/or check with
    the airline that you are flying. Airlines will not fly passengers
    in the late stages of pregnancy (of the passenger, not the airline.)

    Missed the beginning of the thread, but in later stages of pregnancy you
    need a MD note that you are not likely to deliver while at 37000 feet on
    the days you fly.

            And inspite of the certificate (or is it because of), we
    hear of deliveries on flights. :-)

    Estimated delivery date is only a bell shaped curve with outliers
    extending plus/minus 3-4 weeks, so in the 9th month its a bit of a
    crap-shoot.  I’m surprised there aren’t more deliveries, although most
    flights are shorter than the duration of labor.  You never hear about the
    folks who are cramping but not delivering until they are off the plane.

    Interesting!  In case a baby is delivered during an internation flight,
    which country can he/she claim citizenship from?  
    Is it the coutry where the flight has originated? Or the country over
    which the flight is flying over? Or the destination  country ? OR :-)
    Any country on the platnet it is flying close to?

    Just wondering :-) ))

    I read someplace that if a baby is delivered on an international flight
    then he/she can claim the citizenship of:

    1. The country where the flight originated
    2. The country where the flight will terminate
    3. The country over which the plane was during the time of delivery

    That of the airline via which he is flying?

    I remember this question  was asked during one of the quiz programs
    at BITS, Pilani ( that`s where I studied ).  The correct answer is
    that he/she can choose from all the countries on which the plane lands.

    This may apply for those few countries (like the U.S.A.) which grant
    citizenship for everybody who is born on their territory.  Most
    countries, however, grant citizenship only if one of the parents
    has it, regardless where the child is born.

    The nationality of an "inflight-born" child depends on
    the nationalities involved. If the parents are nationals
    of countries subscribing to the "ius sanguinis" ("blood principle")
    the child will have their nationality. The same is true, if
    the parents’ country follows the territoriality principle because
    I don’t know of any country that does so absolutely (in which case
    the child would not have the nationality of the parents but the
    nationality of the flag of the plane (country of registration)).
    The question is, whether the child will perhaps (at least for the
    time being) have an additional nationality. All depends on the
    nationality laws of the countries involved, which might include
    having to look at international treaties or conventions.
