I’m on vacation in Türkiya and wonder: what happens when let’s say a pregnant woman goes on vacation and for whatever reason gives birth there.

How can she take the newborn back to her country? Need to prepare all the papers in the embassy or there’s some special procedure for such cases so the paper work can be done in a country she resides normally?

    I could be mistaken, but I thought women weren’t allowed to go on flights at a certain stage of pregnancy?

    After 36 weeks of pregnancy, your health care provider may advise against flying. And some airlines don’t allow pregnant people women to fly after 36 weeks. The airline also may require a letter from your health care provider that states how far along in your pregnancy you are and whether flying is advised.

    Also who tf travels on vacation when they’re so close to labor?

      Even in six months pregnancy it happens that people are born due to reasons. Also my wife was able to fly basically until the end. Doctor had nothing against, airline didn’t really care. It was all Schengen flights tho.

      advise

      No requirement there. Just recommendations, and potential at that.

      People with poor decision-making skills.
