I’ll be 28 weeks on the flight back. My midwife said she can’t do the fit to fly and my doctors have said ‘how would they know if I’m fit to fly if I haven’t had an appointment for ages’ so now I’m at a loss? I fly next week? Can I use a private place? If so what one please :)

Hello all I am just wondering if mums who are due give birth or have done. What were your appointments like with an anaesthetic team.

I have recently moved to the midlands and had my 2nd midwife appointment where they told me that I will likely not see the same midwife throughout my whole pregnancy.
