There is a small but real risk that the flight could cause you to go into labor and induce a premature birth. Definitely do not fly if the baby has turned. Many airlines won't let a visibly pregnant woman travel without a note from her doctor certifying that it's ok for her to travel and that she's not likely to give birth at 30,000 feet. Airlines may still refuse transportation to you, even with a doctor's certificate, especially if you're in the 8th month. The reasons for refusal vary, but often include the passenger's safety and airline liability. (If you give birth in the air, the airline will have to divert to the closest airport with a nearby hospital, even if there are no complications.) If you do fly, keep your lap belt low around the hips. Also, ask the gate agent if there's an empty seat available in first class. You'll be more comfortable in the wider seats, and if you do happen to give birth, they can close the curtain to give you a little privacy. Flying can also be a miserable experience for someone who is pregnant. Flying differs from other modes of transportation in the sudden acceleration and deceleration, frequent air pressure changes, and significant amounts of vibration. (Though pregnant women should be careful during any traveling, no matter what the means of transportation.)
