You know you're not suppose to travel by airplane in your last trimester.

You can actually travel up until the last month.

Do a search. There is plenty of info on this board.

Good Luck.

My best friend just had her baby here on STX last month at the hospital and both she and her husband said they had a wonderful experience. They were actually quite surprised on how well it went. She said the nurses, doctors etc were great. She did a natural delivery w/o an epidural so I don't know what difference a complication might of had. The baby did have a small problem after she got home and had to be brought back to hospital--but the pediatrics department took care of the problem quite well and everything turned out fine.
Dr. Anne Treasure was their OB-GYN. Don't know how often she accepts patients but she does come highly highly recommended.

There are also childbirth classes at the hospital that are supposed to be really good (my friends only went to half of them since the baby came a little early).
