Pregnancy is a good thing but it comes with several complications. To protect yourself and your developing angel, safety precautions should be adhered to while travelling.
It is recommended that you ask your doctor if it is safe to travel. If the medical practitioner allows you to travel, here are three things to consider when travelling while pregnant.
Diet
You should avoid carbonated foods and drinks to reduce the number of times you will need to relieve yourself and acidity related complications. It is also wise to carry clean and boiled water for use and avoid buying foods as you travel. However, mind the fluid intake and make sure you take breaks (if travelling by car) to empty your bladder.
Medical report
One of the basic things that will help you get better medical attention in case of an emergency is your medical report. They will have to check your previous results and recommendations to offer you the best service.
Safety belts
Whether you are travelling by road or air you need to make sure that you wear safety belts appropriately. They should behold your hips and not your bump. They can be helpful during emergencies but if worn poorly they can harm your baby.
