Why did Palin fly from Texas to Alaska during her 3rd Trimester?

Question

I thought that was a big NO-NO.

Answer 1

kathy is right and well if that is the best you have good luck under McCain/Palin

Answer 2

According to the report I read, she started leaking amniotic fluid, gave a speech, left the hall and got on an Alaska Airlines light to Anchorage. An 8 hour flight. Then she got off the flight and they drove 50 miles to the little town she was from to give birth to her special-needs child.

I've had children and medical training, and this makes NO SENSE at all. It shows a lack of judgment, if nothing else.  

Answer 3

Must have had a meeting with people in the oil industry.

Answer 4

Its called a Neo-Con style late term abortion, do everything wrong you possibly can to increase the mortality rate, short of strangling the baby with your own two hands.

Answer 5

Maybe she figured that the kid already had DS and her risky behavior couldn't make it that much worse?

Or maybe she thinks she's super woman and only weak women are to heed the advice of medical professionals?

Or maybe she just lacks judgment. Who knows really?

Answer 6

Its not recommended, but not a big NO-NO. I assume she wanted to be with her family.
