Which is why very few women, even today, decide to travel all over the world in their 9th month of pregnancy.
Do you have both the exact dates of Stanley Ann’s pregnancy and the official/independently validated itinerary of her travels?

Who says she went there in her 9th month? Nobody knows (or is saying) where she was between December 1960 and August 1961. She just vanished from the records.
I did read a reference in one of the biographies that Obama Sr’s father was really upset about the proposed marriage and wrote a scathing letter to his son about keeping “blood lines pure”. Perhaps the couple went to Africa together to try to smooth things over with the Kenyan relatives and she gave birth there.
I can tell you that doctors of that era only “guestimated” a birth date. All of my babies (same era) were born 3 weeks later than the doctor projected, and the doc could just have easily been wrong 3 weeks the other way.
In any case, records of Stanley Ann did not re-surface until the birth announcement in the Honolulu papers followed by her subsequent re-emergence in Seattle 2 weeks after bama was born when she enrolled at the University of Washington. That is the part that I am having a hard time believing. That’s a lot of world travel in a very compressed time frame before and after a first birth.
