3. Travelling by air – a couple of aspects to consider

Flying at high altitudes is not dangerous, although it is an established fact that you’ll inevitably experience some level of air pressure. The amount of oxygen is also reduced. Luckily, modern airplanes are pressurized quite well. Besides, your body can safely adjust to insignificant differences in pressure. Keep in mind, though, that smaller models of aircraft have less powerful pressurization systems than we find in commercial models hence flying at an altitude of over 2,200 meters (7,000 feet) is not recommended if you are expecting a baby. Another bad thing is radiation that you get exposed to when flying at high altitudes. It is not an issue if your flights are not frequent.

4. Making your trips by ships and trains as comfortable as possible

Pregnant women can easily travel on ships and trains. This might be considered one of the safest and most comfortable ways of travelling. How smooth your trip by train will be depends on you, too. So make some planning. For instance, remember to bring healthy snacks if you know there won’t be a dining car on board. Travelling by ship is also fun – the sea air is healthy and refreshing. More than that, cruise ships have plenty of room to exercise and walk. You will also have a great variety of food to choose from. Opt for dishes that contain all necessary nutrients for you and your baby.
