Thanks again.
I'd personally be very concerned about the health of both mother and baby during a long flight if they are un-able/willing to stay for just 2 weeks after the birth.

A newborn can fly at a week old if it's absolutely necessary, but it's better to wait until he's at least four to six weeks if you can.

However, there are some instances where babies are not allowed to fly. Airlines do not take infants under 48-hours-old, and they only take babies up to a week old with a doctor's note.
Mothers who have given birth in the last 48 hours are also not allowed to fly, says Tony Cane, a spokesman for British Airways (BA) - recently voted the most parent-friendly airline by the children's charity Tommy's.
'Likewise we will not take a new mother who has had a Caesarean section until at least 10 days after the birth.'
Think of it this way ... if things are so bad that they can't wait for 2 weeks after the birth ... then what's going to happen if the baby becomes over due by that same period? Or there are complications and mum/baby need to stay in hospital?
I think they need a backup plan here!
I've personally gained the impression that the one day a baby won't arrive is the due date!
