TIPS FOR PREPARING TO TRAVEL WHEN PREGNANT






  • Check with your doctor, midwife or consultant that in your particular case, it's all right to travel.
  • Take a copy of your pregnancy records with you.
  • Keep a record of your blood type.
  • Check with the airline that they'll allow you to travel. Some companies won't take women after 32 weeks of pregnancy.
  • Ensure you have all the medicines or remedies you'll need for typical pregnancy symptoms, such as heartburn, constipation, and so on.
  • Make sure your health insurance is valid while abroad, and during pregnancy, and covers a baby (if you did give birth at 24 weeks, your baby would need some very special and potentially very expensive care).
  • Find out about medical facilities at your holiday destination, so at least you know where to go if there are problems.
