It is commonly recommended that women not fly at all during their last six weeks of pregnancy. Most major air carriers require that pregnant passengers traveling within 30 days of expected delivery must provide a doctor's statement dated within 72 hours of departure indicating the due date and indicating that air travel does not pose a health risk. Women in labor will be denied boarding for safety reasons. Pregnant women should always consult their obstetricians or midwives before traveling.

Pregnant women who have a medical condition that increases their risk for complications from influenza should be vaccinated before the influenza season, regardless of the stage of pregnancy.

Because of the increased risk for influenza-related complications, women who will be pregnant during the influenza season should be vaccinated.
