Traveling during pregnancy is generally safe, but after 36 weeks, it’s often recommended to stay close to home.
- If Travel Is Necessary: Choose destinations with accessible medical care, and always carry essential medical records.
- Stay Comfortable: Wear loose clothing, stay hydrated, and make sure to move around regularly to prevent blood clots. Standing and stretching every hour during travel helps with circulation.
- Doctor’s Approval: Always check with your doctor before making travel plans, especially if you have pregnancy complications or are close to your due date.
Many airlines have restrictions for pregnant travellers in their third trimester, so verify policies beforehand.
