Question
Till how many weeks can a pregnant woman travel to Singapore?
When is it safe for a new born to travel by Air?

Answer
Dear Afreen,

Almost all airlines, forbid domestic travel beyond thirty-six weeks of pregnancy and international travel beyond thirty-two weeks.

As far as a newly born baby has had a check-up with the doctor and everything is fine, he/she will be safe to fly almost immediately after birth. Most airlines require that a baby be at least 7 days old, unless you have a medical certificate.

You should call the airline you plan to fly with to see what their policy is.

Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
R. Gomes
