BS and nonsense! Obviously you've never been preggo OR given birth!!!!!! Well I HAVE, and unless there is a complication and its a normal healthy pregnancy there is absolutely nothing to preclude travel.

My wife was pregnant less than a year ago, and I can tell you first hand, while it was possible for her to travel, it was definitely difficult.

Furthermore, pregnancy can preclude travel if it prevents you from getting the vaccines you need to go to certain places. For example, pregnant women can't get a yellow fever vaccine, but travel to Kenya requires one.

In fact most physicians will allow a pregnant woman with an uncomplicated pregnancy to travel all the way up to the 8th month.

Stanley Ann would have been in her 7th month, so yes, she would have been cleared to travel, but I can tell you, it would not have been fun for her.

Good God, we're not talking about hiking across the Alps, we're talking about walking onboard a frickin plane and then sitting down for a couple of hours!!!

We're talking about a journey half way around the world in 1961, which would have involved five flights and about five days, more if you include layovers. Some of those flights most likely would have been by propeller plane.

I can tell you, there was no way my wife would have been up for that kind of journey when she was 7 months pregnant, even though she had no complications.

All women are not based on your wife. Still BS and nonsense.

Besides which it is only in your vain imagination that Dunham didn’t go over until she was 7 months along. If you buy into the Kenyan birth theory she was probably there a whole lot before that, and was in her 7th or 8th month trying to LEAVE and return TO the USA but was prohibited from doing so by the airline. She had already been in Kenya for several months.

As far as flying half way around the world blah blah blah have you ever done that??? I HAVE. And a lot farther than Kenya too for that matter. I have also sat close to a man who had to be hooked up to his portable oxygen machine sitting in a plane for several hours. No pregnant woman is even in that bad of a condition health wise as this man was. Its not that difficult except for an Obamabot doing incredible gyrations in his zeal to defend the indefensible.
