alls well that ends well but:
Generally, women are not allowed to travel by air after 36 weeks for domestic travel, and after 28 to 35 weeks for international travel. The decision on whether to travel and how far to travel at any time during pregnancy should be a joint decision between you and your healthcare provider.

I LOVE this thread! For decades I read up on what to do in a situation like this so I could help if need be. I never had kids but the whole birthing process is just magical. I LOVE that a non-doctor stepped up and birthed that baby! Wish it was me but maybe some day I'll get my chance.
