Why would you fly 17 hours over an ocean at 8 months???February 27, 2018

Per the Mayo Clinic, "generally, commercial air travel before week 36 of pregnancy is considered safe for women who have healthy pregnancies."

At eight months, Khloé should be around 32 weeks—meaning her trip to Japan hasn't hit the cut off. But even if it had, she presumably consulted with a doctor and knows how to responsibly take care of her own pregnancy without the internet weighing in.

As of now, Khloé hasn't commented on the backlash over her flight.
