    When is it too late to fly? If i was you i would rather be in the UK where all the support seems to be....... otherwise student doula or a friend who has had a positive birth experience might be the go. Best of luck.
    I think it's 34-36 weeks.

    I know it's a nice idea for me to just hop on a plane and go to the UK to be with my fiance, but the thing is I'm not British and in the eyes of the British Government, I have no reason to be in the UK aside from visiting as a tourist, since my fiance and I aren't married yet.

    They won't let me go into a foreign country and have a baby there without me being a citizen/permanent resident. My OB said it's not an option.

    And they won't let me into the country if I don't have traveller's insurance, and I'm told I can't get traveller's insurance because I'm too far along with the pregnancy. In other words, I'm too much of a risk.

    So that's the sucky thing about this!
