Summer vacations are getting closer, that time of relaxation that every year we look forward to with so much desire ... and I pregnant can I travel?, is the question we ask ourselves when we are waiting for a baby.
The answer is yes, as long as the pregnancy goes well. Pregnancy is a special condition in women, not a disease and in order to enjoy summer vacations it is important to take into account some issues. It is recommended not to travel from the eighth month (even some speak of the seventh) because of the risk of premature delivery. Other specialists recommend refraining from doing so also in the first trimester.
All trips tire, which should be considered before deciding on a long trip. The train is the most appropriate means of transport. If you are going to travel by plane it is important to avoid sitting for a long time, wear comfortable clothes and drink a lot to relieve the dry environment. If it is done by car you should take a break every two hours and walk 10 minutes. You have to put on your belt and avoid shaking. If you decide to drive, special precautions should be taken, as sometimes nausea, tiredness, dizziness that can alter driving can occur. It should also avoid hot hours. By boat it is better to make short trips and forget about the cruise for now.
You can travel to the other side of the world, but it is important to find out about the health system of the country you are going to travel to, it is best to go to a safe destination. You should consult with the doctor about the possibility of traveling to an exotic destination, get information about the required vaccines, some are contraindicated in pregnancy such as that of yellow fever that is completely contraindicated in a pregnant woman. You cannot travel to many countries in Africa or Asia if you have not been vaccinated before, the vaccine lasts 10 years.
On the beach it is convenient to use adequate sun protection (SPF 60), wear a hat and avoid sun exposure between 11:00 and 16:00 hours. Dips are allowed but should be avoided when the water is very cold or agitated (due to the risk of contractions), and swimming should be done calmly since pregnant women do not have the same energy and could cut their breath. Do not practice water sports such as skiing or jet skis.
Remember to take care of food and health in general.
