Flying at 21 weeks ✈️

I am going away in a few weeks, I’ll fly at 21 weeks and fly home at 23 weeks

I’m flying with Jet 2 who don’t require a fit to fly note until 28 weeks.

However I am showing much sooner in this pregnancy, I’m currently 18 weeks but around the same size as I was at 25 weeks last pregnancy.

I have seen online a few cases of women being stopped from boarding a plane without a fit to fly, even if they are before the “threshold”.

Has anyone ever dealt with this or got any advice? Is it worth trying to obtain a note or a fit to fly from my midwife anyway?

I realise there’s no true way of proving my gestation if I am asked at the airport

Thanks :)
