Flying while pregnant

My brother is getting married later this month and we will need to fly in order to get there. I will be entering my third trimester just a couple of days before we fly in (for three nights and coming back). Anyways, do I need a note from my doctor? No complications with this pregnancy or my only other previous one, do I need to get a clear from my doctor?? Is there a chance I wouldn't be able to fly?

After the 3rd trimester, yes. I flew twice while pregnant. If you're in your last weeks Your doctor might give you a no.

Ask the airline. I was told I could fly up to the 8th month. Wear compression stockings while flying. My veins got very swollen during the flight due to air pressure.
I flew at about 34 weeks, I think. My doctor wrote me a note for the airline clearing me to fly, but no one ever asked to see it.

What airline? I'm flying Deta and just checked on their website and they don't have any restrictions for pregnant women and a medical certificate isn't required. Think I should still take a note?

Yes get the note. They have the right to refuse to allow you on the plane for any reason. Make it easier on yourself! And like pp said, get compression stockings. They will help prevent swelling and blood clots.
