Pregnant & travel: Pregnant women who travel should address concerns about how best to keep both mother and baby healthy. Consult with your doctor about destination, mode of travel, and length of travel. Certain preventive measures against infections and blood clots should be discussed. Additionally make a plan in the event you become ill while traveling.

Pregnancy Travel: is travel by air, sea or land during any stage of pregnancy. In the absence of complications (like pre-term labor, premature rupture of membranes, pre-eclampsia) travel is usually safe until 36 weeks of pregnancy. Check safety of destination (ie. Zika virus, malaria etc.).
