00:38Pregnancy definitely shouldn't hold you back from traveling, as long as you take extra care to keep both yourself and
00:44your baby completely safe and healthy.
00:49One crucial thing to keep in mind, during the first trimester, long-distance travel is highly discouraged.
00:56This is when morning sickness is usually at its peak, your body gets exhausted so easily, and the risk of
01:02pregnancy complications is still high.
01:06The same goes for when you hit the 8- and 9-month mark, long trips should be avoided since
01:11you're getting so close to your due date.
01:16Aircraft Guide and Prohibited Conditions
01:26So, when is the best time to go, and how can you do it safely?
01:30If you're having a healthy pregnancy with no complications, long-distance air travel is generally safest before you reach the
01:3728-week mark.
01:43Here are some essential tips for flying.
01:45First, it's a must to get a prenatal checkup with your doctor before booking your tickets.
01:51Second, opt for an aisle seat so it's easy to use the restroom or stretch your legs.
01:56And third, stay well hydrated to beat the dry cabin air and prevent dehydration.
02:04Fourth, make sure to move your limbs or take a short walk every 30 minutes to prevent blood clots, especially
02:10on flights over 5 hours.
02:12And fifth, wear medical compression socks or stockings to prevent your feet from swelling, and always fasten your seatbelt low
02:19across your lap, right under your belly.
02:23But please keep in mind, flying is strictly off-limits if you're at risk for preterm labor, dealing with placental
02:30issues like placenta previa, have already hit the 36-week mark, or have a history of miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies.
02:39If you have to fly frequently for work, routine check-ins with your doctor are an absolute must.

02:56But what if you choose to hit the road and drive instead?
02:59Make sure you're feeling completely energized, and take regular rest breaks so you don't lose your focus behind the wheel.
03:08There are a few key safety points to remember in the car.
03:11First, avoid traveling long distances all by yourself.
03:16Always bring your partner, a family member, or a close friend along.
03:22When you're buckled in, position the shoulder strap so it runs right between your breasts, and place the lap belt
03:28flat across your lower belly to safely absorb any bumps.
03:34Also, make sure there's good airflow inside the car.
03:38While you're on the road, sip water regularly and pack some light snacks or fresh fruit to help keep that
03:43nausea at bay.
03:46And lastly, pull over and get out of the car at least every two hours to take a short walk.
03:52This is super important to relieve pressure on your bladder and keep the blood flowing in your legs.
03:59Ship and Train Guide
04:09Next up, if you're thinking about traveling by sea or taking a cruise, this option is also considered pretty safe.
04:17However, just make sure to check the cruise line or ferry company's pregnancy policy before you buy your tickets.
04:25The most crucial thing is making sure the ship has proper emergency medical facilities and services for pregnant women during
04:31the voyage.
04:33Also, don't forget to keep dry snacks and plenty of water in your bag to beat seasickness and prevent dehydration.
04:42Aside from taking a boat, traveling by train can also be a really comfy alternative.
04:47If you go with the train, opt for the class with the most legroom, pack your own hygienic meals, wear
04:53loose and breathable clothes, and make sure you don't leave your prenatal vitamins or medications behind.
05:02Final medical education and conclusion
05:22To wrap things up, traveling long distances while pregnant is actually perfectly safe, as long as you're fully prepared before
05:29you leave, during the journey, and once you get to your destination.
05:36The golden rule is, don't push yourself.
05:39If you have any doubts, feel a bit unsure, or have specific questions about your baby's health before heading out,
05:46it's highly recommended to consult your OB-GYN.
