Travel in pregnancy can be safe and enjoyable as long as you follow a few simple guidelines and you do not have pregnancy complications that could be worsened by travelling. The best time to travel is mid pregnancy (14-28 weeks of pregnancy). Most airlines allow travel until the 36 week of pregnancy. However some International airlines restrict travel as early as 28 weeks. Always check with your carrier. Try not to drive more than 6 hours a day. You should wear a seat belt while driving or riding in a car. Make sure if you cruise you avoid destinations where the food or water may not be safe. Some smaller cruise lines might not employ medical staff so avoid this potential. If you are planning a trip out of the country discuss it with your provider and travel agent first. Allow plenty of time to get any shots you may need. No matter how you travel wear loose, comfortable clothing, drink plenty of water and walk frequently to avoid blood clot formation in the legs or lungs. Beware of places which may be a source of the Zika infection. The Zika virus is a mosquito-borne virus, however it can be transmitted in humans by other means. It has been associated with severe neurological outcomes in exposed fetuses. Travel to locations where ongoing Zika viral outbreaks are reported should be avoided if you are pregnant or you and your partner are thinking about pregnancy.

Bringing a copy of your prenatal records in case of an emergency is advised. Remember to pack your medications in carry-on luggage.
