Tips For Traveling While Pregnant
August 9, 2022 by Dr. Lori Gore-Green (Edit)
With the COVID-19 pandemic slowly falling behind us, many people have begun traveling again. If
you’re pregnant and planning a trip, you may not know how to approach the situation. Yours and
the baby’s health are incredibly important during this time, and while traveling is totally okay and
even encouraged, it’s best to be prepared for anything, and make sure you’re even okay to travel
somewhere. Here are a few tips for safe travel while pregnant.
Be Cleared For Travel
One of the most important things to consider before traveling is consulting your doctor before
you travel. Give your doctor all of the necessary details, and they should let you know if you’re
okay to go on your trip, while also giving you any helpful information that may make you feel more
comfortable. It may also be wise to look for doctors and hospitals within the vicinity of where
you’re traveling, in case there are any complications and you need to quickly see a doctor.

Be Picky With Your Destination
Before you travel, be aware of the seasonal weather patterns that may affect your trip. For
instance, if you’re planning on visiting Naples in Florida during the middle of July, it’s important to
know that high temperatures and humidity levels often occur in the “miserable” or “oppressive”
range. Doing some research can help you find a better weather destination. Some of the best
places to visit during this time are Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Virginia Beach.
Bring A First Aid Kit
First aid kits are always welcome on trips, even when you’re not pregnant! Having a few supplies
with you in case of injury or illness is a great way to increase the quality of your trip. You don’t
need to bring your entire medicine cabinet, but bandages, hand sanitizer, and medicine for issues
such as bloating and nausea will always be handy and can make or break a trip. Being pregnant is
tough, so you want to be prepared when you’re thousands of miles away from home.
Don’t Overwork Yourself
If you’re traveling, you probably want to see as many sights as you possibly can. After all, you may
never get to see this place again for the rest of your life! While that’s great, it’s also important you
don’t overwork yourself. Be sure that you’re aware of your energy levels throughout each day, as
well as outside factors such as the weather or the number of people at a given destination during
your trip. At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you relax, and have a good time.
