Can I travel abroad during pregnancy? What should I pay attention to?

1. Generally speaking, early pregnancy (before 12 weeks of pregnancy) is an important period for embryo development. It is not recommended to travel far during this period. One is that traveling by boat is easy to catch a cold and get sick, and there are unpredictable environmental factors. Unfamiliar environments such as other rays and pollution are unpredictable. At the same time, in the first three months, the pregnancy reaction is often severe, and the pregnant mother's spirit and appetite are not good, and she may not be in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

2. Generally, the second trimester (13-28 weeks) is a relatively safe period, so you can travel. Swimming in the second trimester is also relatively safe. In China, it is still recommended not to swim after 28 weeks. The sanitary conditions of swimming places are better, especially not to go to crowded swimming places, which is easy to be infected. ?

3. In the third trimester (28 ~ 40 weeks of pregnancy), the pregnant woman's stomach gradually becomes bigger, which makes it very inconvenient to travel. Some airlines also have certain restrictions on pregnant women who are pregnant for more than 36 weeks. During this period, there are risks of premature delivery such as breaking water and seeing red. Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, it is not suitable to travel in the early and late stages of pregnancy, especially for long-distance travel. A walk in a nearby park may be a better choice.
