Fit to fly TUI

I’m flying with tui on the 16th may and il be 31 weeks and 5 days. My doctors don’t do a fit to fly as they will then be responsible if anything happens to me But they said they don’t do them at all now. I googled the tui flying while pregnant and it says as long as I’ve completed the leg of the journey by the end of the 32nd week. Not sure what to do. This Holliday was booked way before I got pregnant. Just wondering if anyone has been in the same situation. Thanks

I got asked when I flew how many weeks I am and as I was under 28 they said they didn’t need to see my fit to fly. But would have asked for it otherwise.
Have you asked your midwife for one?

I just came back from holiday and we flew with TUI, I turned 28 weeks while away. On the way back they asked me how many weeks I was and if I had a fit to fly letter which I did. Someone did post about zoomdoc which you can use to get fit to fly letters. I got mine from my doctors but I think some midwives can do them, mind wouldn’t though. I had to pay for mine but I wanted to get it just in case so when they asked me if I had one I was glad I did x

I got mine from ZoomDoc today, flying next Thursday. My GP said it would take them 2-4 weeks to produce a letter (and still they wanted me to pay £30!!!!), my midwife couldn’t produce it, but made sure that in my notes it was very clear I had low risk pregnancy, and had information about my blood pressure, BMI and that I’m not experiencing any symptoms that could indicate I have preeclampsia or anything else.

I just came back from Brazil by TAP and they asked me for a fit to fly. I went to a private GP to get one.

How do you go about zoom doc ? I’m so stressed out with it all as I’m getting no further forward with different health care centres. Now all is closed till Tuesday. With TUI has it got to be 2 weeks before flying we need the fit to fly certificate? X

The midwife will do you one for free past 28 weeks, just book an appointment with them. I think the letter needs to be dated within one week of your outbound flight so don’t get the letter any earlier than 10th May. If that fails for whatever reason you can get one from your GP, make an appointment (I did mine over the phone) and then pick it up from reception, I had to pay £20 for this though.

I flew at 25 weeks and I got the doctors letter for that (midwives wouldn’t do one before 28 weeks). I am flying again on Sunday (will be 29 weeks) and I had an appointment with the midwives yesterday to get the letter

I’m flying out to the Dominican on Friday with tui and I’ll be exactly 31 weeks, I got a note from my midwife but it doesn’t look very formal and like I could have written it myself so gonna buy one from ZoomDoc too, just for the extra peace of mind! Xx

Hi, just wondering if you used zoomdoc and if it was accepted? I fly next week and my doctors or midwife also don’t do them. Thank you x

I ’m afraid not, mine was paper that had been wet signed by midwife/doctor x

did you have a zoomdoc fit to fly that wasn’t accepted? My midwife nor doctors do them anymore as they said it’s due to insurance purposes. I have paid for a zoomdoc fit to fly, a doctor still signs the letter just not my GP. They have sent it to me via email. It says they are CQC registered so hopefully will be fine to use. X

Just venting about an ignorant irresponsible husband!

I don’t know if it’s just me or if all husbands are like this, because my husband claims that all men are like him!

He doesn’t want to help with house chores, doesn’t do what’s asked of him, and only helps with the baby on his own terms and free time. Yet, whenever I get upset about something he does, he blames me for not asking for help. Honestly, I don’t even know if I want to ask for help anymore — it feels like such a mental load just to ask!

Usually, he’ll say things like, “Oh, I was about to iron my clothes,” or “I was about to eat,” or “I was about to sleep, I have an early day tomorrow.” You see where this goes…

Even when he does agree to help, he does things in a way that makes me want to just say, “Never mind, I’ll do it myself.” For example, if I ask him to sauté some veggies, he says, “Oh, we should try raw veggies sometime.” Or if I ask him to pass a fork, he says, “You should eat with your hands.”

At this point, I don’t even know if things will ever improve. Part of me feels like I might end up leaving, but I don’t want to take any extreme step right now because it would impact my baby.

Nursery costs

How much do you pay a month for nursery? And for how many hours?

Advice please - I need to approach work about asking for flexibility in school holidays

My little boy is due to start pre school in September and at the moment I work 3days a week but during the holidays I probably will only be able to get childcare for maybe 1 or 2 at the most.

How do I go about speaking to work, feel like im being such a pain asking?

Childcare for toddler during labour

For those of you who don't have any family or friends nearby enough to jump in to look after your older child, how did you manage labour and going to hospital to give birth? I'm only 5 weeks pregnant but already stressing about it!

8 Month food

Emotional cheating?

So my husband had a longtime friend that he had said he was in love with at a time before we met, but she played around with him as a jerk and he ended their friendship right before we met. This was a year and a half ago. He had blocked her on everything but still had her number, though they were never in contact with each other. He told me she was in the past and didn’t have those feelings anymore. Well I just saw on his phone, about a month ago, he had sent her a random text of “asdf” as if he was checking to see if the messages still delivered. How should I feel about this?
