Flying After A C-Section
22 Answers
For various reasons I have decided to fly home next month to give birth in the UK in September. If the worst happens and I end up having a c-section (really don't want one) how quickly after would I be able to fly back to the middle east?

sorry meglet, i have no idea, perhaps the PALS service at the hospital you plan to be with. Don't use your real name though, when you email them!
can you see a doctor over there at all? you've probably already looked into this but i think you usually need a letter from a doctor to fly after 28 weeks (although you can usually fly up to 35/36 weeks)
if your GP knows you've moved abroad, they will have de-registered you and you won't be able to re-register unless you become resident

I'll be flying at 35 weeks and that's fine with all the airlines I could use as they'll fly you up to 36 weeks as long as I have a medical certificate from my doctor here. I asked my doc here today and she is happy with this.
My MIL is a midwife at University College Hospital in London so I've emailed her to ask. She has moaned in the past about health tourists, although that's when they've come from some third world country and got off the plane about to drop, not someone who's only been out of the UK for three months!
I haven't de-registered from my doctors either. We have no idea how long we'll be away for so left things as they are.
