'Isn't that dangerous?' Khloe Kardashian sparks fear amongst fans by flying to Japan eight months pregnant
She's currently on a trip with her sisters Kim and Kourtney
Khloe Kardashian has sparked concern among fans after flying to Japan while eight months pregnant.
The expectant mum, who's due to welcome her first child with boyfriend Tristan Thompson over the next few weeks, took to Instagram to post a picture from Tokyo, where she travelled with her sisters Kim and Kourtney.
The snap sparked concern among some of her 73 million followers, who commented to ask if it was safe for the reality TV star to be flying so far along in her pregnancy.
One commented: 'Why would you risk travel during a pregnancy??', while another said: 'She's 8 months and flying that far? Not too smart.'
A third added: 'Isn't that dangerous to travel while eight months of pregnancy? just curious.'
A fourth urged Khloe to be careful: 'Should you be travelling to Tokyo while you 8 months pregnant 😭😭😭😱😱😱 be careful'.
However, others wrote to point out that she has a medical team looking after her, and they would probably have advised against the trip if it was dangerous for her or the baby.
