You’re pregnant and you’re wondering if it’s alright to travel. Now is definitely the time, actually, before that baby comes and creates chaos in all areas of your life. You should certainly consult with your obstetrician before booking the trip.
As a general rule, it’s alright to travel until your 36th week, assuming that you are having an uncomplicated, healthy pregnancy.
Assuming that your doctor has given you the go-ahead, keep these tips in mind. As Cinergy Health advises, make sure to stay hydrated, especially if you are flying. Move around every few hours, whether you’re driving in a car or flying somewhere. Otherwise, blood can pool in your legs and that’s certainly not to your benefit. Some doctors recommend compression travel socks as they force blood to your leg’s deep veins and reduce pooling of blood.
Bon voyage and have fun!
