Our doctors can issue a same-day certificate, verifying your due date and confirming there are no risks of complications. You can apply online easily, with no appointment needed.

**Important – Flying During Pregnancy**
To assess your condition and provide a medical certificate, we will need the following information:
- Gestation of less than 36 weeks (for a single pregnancy)
- Gestation of less than 32 weeks (for a multiple pregnancy)
Flying while pregnant, particularly if you have any health concerns or complications, can pose risks to both you and your baby. If you've been previously advised against flying or if your pregnancy is considered high-risk, we will be unable to issue a fit-to-fly certificate.
At DrNote our top priority is ensuring the safety of both you and your baby. Therefore, our doctors will advise against travel if any of the following apply to you:
- A BMI of 30 or higher at the start of pregnancy (increased risk of deep vein thrombosis, DVT, during air travel)
- A complicated pregnancy with underlying health conditions or risk factors
- Gestational diabetes
- Blood clots or deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- High blood pressure
- A history of miscarriage after 18 weeks’ gestation
- A heart or lung condition
- Severe anaemia
- Sickle cell disease
- Epilepsy
- Pre-eclampsia
- A low-lying placenta
- Low Papp-A levels
