Unless you have serious health problems or your pregnancy is considered "high risk", traveling during your pregnancy should be quite safe.   You should, of course, always discuss any travel plans with your doctor first and, be sure and check with your insurance benefits department regarding coverage for emergency services provided outside of your service area.   The most comfortable time for you to travel is during the second trimester when the risk of complication is the lowest.  By that time, the risk of the first trimester miscarriage and morning sickness is over.   By the third trimester, it may not be as easy to move around, and, there is a possible risk of preterm labor and delivery. General Guidelines For Travel Schedule a visit with your doctor before you leave, and discuss any concerns you may have. Take a copy of your medical records with you. If you will be gone for more than 24 hours, be sure to arrange for a doctor and hospital at your destination.  Again, check with your insurance benefits department for guidelines regarding out-of-area coverage. During the travel, get up and walk frequently.  Getting up every 1-2 hours will improve the circulation in your legs and decrease swelling. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Take snacks such as crackers, juice, cheese sticks, or other light snacks to prevent nausea and dehydration. Cancel your trip if any complications develop. Select a Different Patient Information Topic
