Maternity Care at The Birthplace
Lifestyle Considerations
Travel
- For most pregnant women, travel is safe up until 36 weeks
- If you are being treated for a high-risk pregnancy, please discuss travel with your provider
- Travel separates you from your usual care providers and can place additional stresses on the pregnancy
- While traveling, be sure to hydrate and stretch your legs regularly, and always wear your seat belt
- If you are planning to leave the country, please discuss the local infectious disease risks with your provider to ensure that you are prepared for your journey
