Pregnancy

Travel is unlikely to be a problem for a healthy pregnant traveller however, there are a few risks that need to be considered and discussed with your doctor

  • Avoid malarious areas if possible
  • Avoid air travel after about 35 weeks and prepare for a possible delivery from 20 weeks
  • Reduce the risk of thrombosis (blood clots)  with regular calf exercises
  • Avoid live viral vaccines, such as Yellow Fever

Discuss travel medications with a doctor

Detailed information on preparing for your trip is available in
