If you are pregnant but have to take a trip, don’t worry because you can do it without major problems. For added peace of mind, we give you some tips to help you do it more safely.
Better to travel accompanied, avoid undertaking trips alone and if you do, inform the driver or other passengers about your condition. Remember that during the first three months of pregnancy it is not recommended that you sail by boat, since you can have nausea and vomiting .
Avoid driving cars , as it stimulates the nervous system causing stress. If you do, do not forget to always fasten your seat belt . You can pass the belt under the abdomen to travel more comfortable and that it does not press the belly.
If the means of transport in which you travel does not have toilets , ask the driver to stop at service stations or rest areas as many times as you need. The important thing is always health.
From the seventh month of pregnancy, do not travel by plane . Pressure changes at heights can increase the risk of bursa rupture and preterm labor. Wear loose cotton clothing and comfortable shoes.
Before traveling to another country, ask your doctor how to prevent possible diseases that may exist in the destination. Make sure before you travel that you will be covered by your medical insurance . Wherever you go, always carry a mobile phone and the health book where your doctor monitors your pregnancy.
