EasyJet - pregnant and flying

I'm 25+6 when I fly on Thursday and 26+6 when I fly back. EasyJet website says you don't need a medical certificate and can fly upto 34 weeks pregnant and the airport in Portugal says you can fly upto 28 weeks without a medical certificate but I keep seeing people saying they were questioned and now I'm so anxious as literally flying Thursday. My midwife doesn't provide them and last time I called the GP for one; they said they didn't offer them until 28 weeks. Has anyone else been in this situation? What would you do?

I would get it to be on the safe side because they will judge based on high big your bump is. I flew at 26 weeks but I looked about 30+ weeks. They wanted to deny me boarding because i looked on the larger side

I flew once with EasyJet in my last pregnancy at 33 weeks and no one asked anything at all. I flew Ryanair a couple of times too and printed the form out but no one asked again. I would say I was on the big side! Can you take your notes with you to show you aren’t further along than you are saying?

@Demi did you have a fit to fly?

Was you okay flying with them? I'm flying at 25/26 weeks in October and I'm worried

@Samantha yes, on the way there; they didn’t ask and on the way back; they just confirmed my gestation and that was it. I took my pregnancy folder with me including the document showing my gestation and EDD but never needed it. Always best to take it though in case. Wear something light and breezy as it was so hot in the airport when I went and it was only April x

yes luckily i did
