Air travel when you are pregnant requires a little more planning than usual. The gynecologist would be the first person to contact to see if any special arrangements need to be made and if there are any medical reasons why it is unsafe to fly. An example of particular medical conditions could be additional swelling especially of the ankles plus raised blood pressure or bleeding and in these circumstances a pregnant woman may well be advised against any type of air travel.
e. twins or triplets. Carrying a medical certificate if the pregnancy is more than 24 weeks pregnant is recommended. To make the flight more comfortable it is worth trying to check in early so there may be an opportunity to have an aisle seat for easy access or a bulkhead seat as there is more legroom.
Even though there isn't any evidence to suggest fetal injury, pregnant women are advised not to have vaccinations to protect against typhoid but hepatitis A and B are advisable if they are flying to Africa or Asia but it would be best to seek medical advice. Traveling to areas where there is a risk of contracting malaria is not recommended while pregnant.
In Australia, typhoid and hepatitis A vaccinations aren't advised for children under six but it is recommended that children are up-to-date with their other immunizations. The best advice in these circumstances is for any expectant mother to check with her doctor before she makes plans to travel or fly anywhere.
A simple way to avoid getting hepatitis A and typhoid is to avoid drinking water that has not come from a sealed bottle and ice where tap water has been used. It is also inadvisable to eat fruit and raw vegetables and before eating wash your hands with an antibacterial hand wash. Nowadays it is easy to carry travel size bottles of gel hand wash that can sterilize without the need for special facilities as it dries in the air almost immediately.
Unfortunately, there is an additional risk of blood clots when you are present, one that increases with airline travel so to avoid deep vein thrombosis it is advisable to wear the special socks or stockings you can purchase from drugstores. To keep maintain a good circulation, it is advisable that walking about or other exercises be carried out while in flight whenever possible.
Travel insurance policies will cover costs relating t the pregnancy up to twenty six weeks but even policies that cover travel related claims after that period will not include those for the pregnancy itself. There are a few insurance companies that will extend the policy throughout the pregnancy term but not any costs relating to the birth. - 15432
