Re: Duty Status During Pregnancy

["Nancy Hunter" <omgwafn@att.net>]

I flew through both of my pregnancies. The program I was with, at the time,
had no policy so I essentially wrote it for them. The only requirements were
that my OB was in agreement and I could perform all of the usual functions.
I went 28 weeks with my first and 32 weeks with my second, by choice, and
then I was given other assignments until I went out on maternity leave. It
worked out well for me and the other nurse that followed.....
