Hey Lupine I don't make the rules but rather explained why they were in place - to be honest the reason is dammed good one. This is not the first one this year. Remember the baby on the Delta transaltlantic flight who needed an emergancy landing in Boston I believe it was. The only reason it was alive when the plane landed - the baby was lucky because there was a heartspecialist onboard who had to resusitate the baby a t least twice before they hit the ground running. Long haul flights after the 27 weeks is like playing Russian Roulett with not only the babys life but also with the mothers. Should one have to fly for some reason it is something to be thought about very carefully becuase the danger is there.
