Really? Got a cite for the number of British mothers flying to US to
get their kids US citizenship, Terry?

and that was precisely my point!
with no prior symptoms or risk factors, the risk or premature delivery at 34
weeks is really very low, probably comparable to any other passenger
developing some medical condition requiring the flight to divert.

Is it true that in such circumstances the airline often gives the child free
flights for life or is that an urban legend?

Urban legend. I would think the airlines would NOT want to encourage
heavily pregnant women to fly. :-)

Y'all STILL do not get it.
A pregnancy WILL result in labor and WILL require more medical
attention than a flight attendent can give. Heart attacks,
appendicitis, et al are completely UNEXPECTED events. Not at all the
same as someone who is 8+ months pregnant and KNOWS, for a fact, that
labor is coming sometime, just not exactly when. It was extremely
inconsiderate of her to fly KNOWING that labor might result. But, we
know that new mothers don't give a damn about anyone but themselves and
their BAYBEEEE, so shouldn't be surprised.

ahh yes, but the being alive, must at some point result in death, so perhaps
all those that are alive should not travel.
All airlines operate rules, which vary wildly, most have an absolute ban on
travel after some point and a point after which it requires a doctors note.
In the world we live in, it is going to be necessary for pregnant women to
travel, and heavily pregnant women are unlikely to travel for fun, it's just
not pleasant.

That's done by quite a few Mexican mothers, but I suspect
Russians, Europeans and Indians (east) are not very dense on the
ground for that purpose.

No they're not. For me, who has already had a quintuple cardiac
artery bypass operation and three angioplasties, a heart attack
would not be unexpected.

Not 8+months, no way - not in this case.

Paranoid little Terry can see a conspiracy in a toad fart. Somehow I
doubt any parent from UK would think US citizen would be a greater
advantage to their child. Indeed, it would not.

True. Although, so as not to confuse anyone, they used to, at least
prior to 1983. Before that year, birth in the UK was suffcient to
grant UK nationality to a child. However, in 1983, and beyond, a
person born in the UK will not receive British citizenship unless a
parent is either a British citizen or is "settled" in the UK. Settled
means ordinarily resident with no time limit on his or her stay.

Thanks, but I didn't really need any reassurances. :-)
