All pregnant women are required to produce a doctor’s or midwife’s letter stating that mother and child are in good health and fit to travel, and that the pregnancy is not high-risk prior to travel. The letter must also include the estimated date of delivery (EDD), calculated from both Last Menstrual Period (LMP) and ultrasound (if per- formed).
