Yes, you can travel, but with some precautions:
- First trimester: Travel is not recommended, as the pregnancy is still stabilizing and the risk of miscarriage is higher.
- Third trimester: Travel may be uncomfortable due to the large size of the belly, shortness of breath, and an increased risk of early labor.
- Second trimester (weeks 13–27): This is usually the safest time for travelling, as the placenta is developed and the risks of miscarriage or preterm labor are lower.
Avoid travel if you have:
- Travel to areas with active outbreaks that require special vaccines.
- A history of miscarriage, vaginal bleeding, ectopic pregnancy, preterm birth or multiple pregnancy.
- Diabetes, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, or anemia.
- History of blood clots or Placenta problems.
