Here
are a few travelling tips for women who are soon to become mothers:
- Firstly, if it is not so necessary, you should avoid a trip in the last few months of your pregnancy. This is because the labour pain might advent any time now. If at all it is very urgent, then you should not travel alone. Make sure there is someone responsible to accompany you.
Avoid
travelling by public transport. You can rather travel by a car
because taking frequent stops is a good idea. That way you can
stretch a little every one hour or so and even head to the loo
whenever needed. Stretching and taking a short walk is necessary as
it helps you avoid develop blood clotting, which is a common issue
with pregnant women if they sit or sleep in the same position for a
long time.

Carry
your own food and water in order to avoid eating out. To-be mothers
need to keep good care of their health and also keep a check on what
they eat or drink. You never know in what conditions food has been
prepared in the restaurant, no matter how reputed it is. Keep
yourself well hydrated when expecting a baby.
Lastly,
carry a soft pillow along, which might help you comfort your back
while travelling by a car. Ask the one driving the car to keep it
slow and careful.
All
these tips can come really handy if you are planning to travel with
that adorable baby bump!
