Traveling
When You are Pregnant
|
Being pregnant doesn’t automatically mean that you have to cancel all
of your travel plans. In fact traveling when you are pregnant can be
a wonderful experience. There are some tips though to make your travel
as enjoyable as possible while also remaining safe. The time when you
travel is very important to consider before planning your trip. Also,
maintaining your health while you travel is critical. There are a few
tips for helping to ensure your health while on vacation. For the most
part they are all precautions that you should already be taking but
it doesn’t hurt to reinforce these precautions when you are traveling.
The timing of your vacation is important when you are pregnant. If you
plan to fly to your vacation destination, it is important to check the
airline’s policy regarding pregnant women before you book your reservations.
Many airlines do not allow women who are beyond 36 weeks to fly. Some
airlines may also require you to submit a doctors note if you are more
than 28 weeks pregnant. If you are unsure of your airline’s policies
contact a customer service representative to ask about whether or not
you will be eligible to travel. Besides airline regulations, your personal
comfort should be considered when planning a vacation while you are
pregnant. Many women find their second trimester the ideal time to travel.
Many women are plagued by morning sickness during their first trimester
and very tired during their third trimester. However, by their second
trimester morning sickness has usually subsided but fatigue has not
yet set in making this a great time to travel. Every woman is different
though and you may feel ready to travel at a different time.
It is also important to maintain adequate circulation while you are
flying. Pregnant women are particularly prone to poor circulation so
if you are flying, make a point of standing up and walking the length
of the airplane once or twice every hour of your flight. If you are
driving to your vacation destination, be prepared to make frequent stops
to get out of the car and walk around a little
Maintaining proper hydration levels is also important when you are traveling
while you are pregnant. Many travelers forget to drink water while they
are on vacation but pregnant women cannot afford to do so. Carry bottled
water with you wherever you go and maintain your hydrations levels while
you are traveling.
Proper nutrition on a trip is also important for pregnant women. It
is not uncommon for those on vacation to eat large meals. Try not to
do this and instead travel with non perishable, healthy snacks so that
you can eat small meals throughout the day to maintain your glucose
levels.
Research the doctors at your vacation destination. You never know when
you will go into labor or require a trip to a doctor so you should be
prepared by knowing where to find a doctor while you are on vacation.
You should also verify that your insurance will be valid while you are
on vacation.
You don’t have to put your travel plans on hold just because you are
pregnant. As long as you are feeling ready for your trip, there is no
reason not to travel. You should, however, follow some safety precautions
to ensure your health as well as the health of your baby.

How
I get free airline tickets & travel on a shoestring
budget...

 Myth:
Cheapest fares are always found online.
 Truth:
Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited
from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia,
Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the
really discounted fares that are available.
Myth:
Buying direct from the airlines is good.
Truth:
Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a
consolidator airfare, which is almost always cheaper than anything
the airlines offer, and, the cheapest airfare are sold
only by travel agencies.
Myth:
The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.
Truth:
This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your
plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the
airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves
you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.
