It isn’t typically an issue for a woman employee, but an Air Force pilot in late-stage pregnancy does present unique issues.

How to deal with those issues is something for smarter people than me.

But from my limited medical experience, it would seem necessary to counsel the mother against Piloting an F-18 in fighter combat near her due date.

I hope that doesn’t seem harsh.
