@Madelyn Martin if its not obvious (not bulging), then its safe , there is no machine in the airport that can detect if you are preg

nant unless you declare it so or  can only be proven if a doctor will check on you or by a test kit.

There is no issue in the airport related to being pregnant or showing. As I have said repeatedly on the forums; it is only an issue if you DELIVER the child in Bahrain while not being married.


The only airport issue will come if you are beyond a certain stage in your pregnancy.  So for safety sake, they will ask for a doctor's certificate allowing you to travel.  Beyond 7 months or so, they will refuse to board you.

As I keep saying, NO ONE at the airport will pull you aside or ask about your pregnancy.  It is ONLY the airline who will ask, at check-in time and from angle of safety only.  Take a doctor letter with you stating that it is safe for you to travel otherwise they won't give you a boarding pass.  NO ONE will ask your martial status at the airport.   And leave NOW.......once it reaches 6 months onward, they will NOT let you board and then you will have to deliver in Bahrain with all the associated legal issues.
