I can't remember whether they will ultimately let you buy a ticket or not, but I do know it is not recommended for several reasons. Things such as pressure changes, dehydration (extremely common for *anyone* in an airplane) and reduced circulation can all contribute to a woman going into labor. The odds of an obstetrician being on the flight are pretty small and the airlines really don't care for the liability. Add to that the sheer inconvenience of sitting in cramped quarters and trying to use those teeny tiny facilities, and yes, flying after the 7 or 8th month is not recommended at all....
Flying with an infant is quite bad enough..

| The last I had heard they wouldn't sell you the ticket because of liablity. As a travel agent if I sell a ticket to a women that is pregnant I ask for a medicial release from her doctor to CMA myself. |

WTF!! When did we start getting off on the pregnant chick? Wasn't this more about Dom the last time I was here? I guess not anymore. If you think about it, what was that pregnant chick thinking whhen she got on that plane? It musta been some kinda emergency, or shhe wouldn't be flying I bet.
Luv,
Ur SamwiseTS

I've been thinking... it can't be technically "forbidden" to sell women on their 9th month a flight ticket, since you know... babies are born in planes all the time.  Silvermoonlady is right though about doctors not recommending it, and I guess if I was on my 9th month I wouldn't fly, unless it was an emergency or something... But I guess flight companies have different rules... I'll have to ask around what rules Icelandair and Icelandic Airlines (our domestic company) have.
I also know that if you have a bad cold, it's not recommended for you to fly either, because of the pressure. A stewardess once told me that (I didn't have a cold actually, I just asked her about this). |

Has anyone watched this yet? I missed the first eppy, but ABC is reshowing the first 2 eppys tonight. Now that I have seen it can any one tell me what the hell is going on?? OY!! This is worth watching just to find out what the heck is in the trees and on the island!!!
Thoughts and Opinion on it so far? |

Actually, strangely enough (or not given the original poster) the Oh the Randomness... thread has turned into a Lost/Dom drool thread:)

Yep, over the weekend, at Scribe's. (It's not on telly Down Under yet but the net is a wonderful thing.) I thought it was brilliant. We watched the first two EPs back to back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very promising. Dom has a very interesting character, IMHO. Actually, the whole cast has. You just want to get to know them, their back history and all, 'cause they've just given us a little taste of all of them. And I like the back and forth they do in the story-telling. Minute details you might not have thought important come together later in the following episode and so on. I like that. A series that doesn't think the whole audience are idots who have to be fed pre-processed stuff.. anyway. Looking forward to number three. And Dr. Jack... hmm. 
do.
P.S. And that bomb expert from The English Patient is in this. Hadn't seen him for a long while.

I have beeb watching the show since the first episode, and let me tell ya... it rocks... it is sooooooo spooky!!!!!!!! OOOOIi am on the edge of my seat with every new ep, I can't wait to find out what the hell is going on on that island. I came up with a few lame theories, but my husbands' theory is wayyyyyyyyy better than anything I have heard or read anywhere.
He won't tell me exactly, but he said if I wanted to figure it out by myself I should read "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". I gave him this WTF look and he said, "Think Captain Nemo..."... my WTF look continued... and he snarked back at me "Didn't you ever read that book", whichi I hadn't, but I saw the Disney movie version from the 60's...
Anyhoo, he said he thinks ti has to do with the fact that Cpt. Nemo had a hidden lab on a deserted South Pacific island... and he was way advanced for the time the story was set... but he says to read it to find out what the the show MIGHT be about....
I guess time will tell... my idea was kinda lame.... I won't even discuss it cuz... I am lame... |
