It's the annual National Day holiday! See a lot of partners are ready to travel, presumably pregnant mother must be itchy in the heart. But pregnant mother is different from ordinary people, there are many things to pay attention to about travel. Traveling abroad is different from traveling around. Generally, the journey is relatively long. Flying is calculated in hours, which is a big test for pregnant mothers. So, how many months pregnant women can travel abroad?
Early pregnancy (1-3 months): in the first stage of pregnancy, the fetus has not stabilized in the uterus, and the possibility of long-distance abortion is relatively high. At this stage, pregnant mothers had better not travel abroad to avoid danger.
Second trimester (4-6 months): it is relatively safe to travel abroad during this period. At this time, the pregnant mother's energy is better, and there is no big belly obstacle, so she can travel appropriately. But before going abroad, it's better to have a physical examination and consult a doctor to ensure the safety of the pregnant mother and fetus.
Late pregnancy (7-9 months): at this time, pregnant mothers should be cautious when they travel. After all, they are close to giving birth, especially for pregnant mothers who have had premature delivery or miscarriage before. The World Health Organization (who) suggests that primiparas are not suitable for flying after 36 weeks of gestation, while multiparous women should be earlier, and they are not suitable for flying after 32 weeks of gestation. However, the regulations of each airline company may be different, and pregnant mothers should pay attention to the relevant regulations of the airline company when they travel.
Note: pregnant mothers with the following conditions are not suitable for long-distance travel abroad no matter how long they are pregnant~
1. Pregnant women with severe anemia, heart failure, vascular embolism, hypertension, diabetes and other diseases are not recommended to travel abroad.
2. Those who have a history of premature birth or abortion, or primiparas aged over 35 and under 20 are not suitable for traveling abroad. What do pregnant women eat when they travel? Precautions for pregnant women to travel
Know exactly what you're eating
There are local eating customs, and even some food that pregnant mothers usually don't eat. When eating out, be sure to know what you are eating. Ask the waiter or local people. If you are not sure what the food contains, try not to eat it or take risks.
Replenish water in time
Pregnant mother must always have clean water around, try not to drink tea and coffee outside. If the weather is too hot, do not eat too much cold drink, because it will stimulate the digestive tract, cause loss of appetite, and even abdominal pain.
At the same time, pregnant mothers should learn to protect themselves. In fact, this is not a very difficult thing. We should pay attention to the following three points:
Avoid traveling alone
Pregnant mother had better not travel alone! When you go out, all kinds of situations may occur. It is relatively safe and convenient for a pregnant mother to have a companion to look after her. In addition, travel with more things, have a companion to help carry luggage can also reduce the burden of pregnant mother.
Plan ahead
Before traveling, pregnant mothers should make detailed travel plans, including where to go, how to go, how to go for a few days, what to bring, etc. Special attention should be paid to the fact that it is better for pregnant mothers to take health care cards when they go out, and they should be familiar with the local medical places to deal with emergencies. At the same time, we should also prepare some emergency medicine, such as carsickness medicine, diarrhea medicine and so on.
Avoid going to crowded places and doing dangerous activities
It's better to choose a place with few people as the travel destination. If there are too many people in a certain place, the pregnant mother should avoid it to prevent accidents due to crowd. In addition, pregnant mothers are not recommended to play some stimulating activities, such as bungee jumping, roller coaster, etc. on the one hand, it is easy to cause adverse effects on the fetus physically, and on the other hand, too excited mood will also affect the development of the fetus.
