Feige: Where, a lot of people these days are more into more exotic travel which is very romantic. What about the second component which is where?ĭr. Interviewer: All right, so that covers the when component. Feige: And maybe not having the team ready to deal with a newborn if for some reason there were another complication. Interviewer: Yeah, sure, okay, fair enough.ĭr. Feige: Yeah, emergency landing of the flight, putting other passengers at risk. Interviewer: Okay, yeah, it's just more of an inconvenience that they would have to deal with that.ĭr. Feige: Once again, just risk of labor when you're in the air - your water breaking, you're bleeding, you're contracting, and then a baby is born.

The one contraindication that does come up is some airlines have strict policy of not traveling once you are full term, so after 37 weeks, but otherwise there's no strict contraindication.ĭr. Interviewer: So you would recommend if you really were concerned, second trimester would be about the best, but as you said before you're all right first or third as well.ĭr. It's always best to be home closer to a hospital and your known OB/GYN as well as with records prior to giving birth on the road. The first trimester carries risks of miscarriage, vaginal bleeding, as well as cramping, and then the third trimester, as you get closer to term, once again, there are increased risks not only with bleeding and/or leakage of fluid but actually going into labor and having a baby. So the ideal time for travel would be during the second trimester, which is between 14 and 28 weeks gestational age. To begin with, when we talk about when during the pregnancy is one traveling, while there is no contraindication to travel during any trimester, most commonly if something were to happen during a pregnancy it would occur during the first and/or third trimester. So first of all, when during the pregnancy are they traveling? Where are they traveling to? And then finally how are they arriving at their destination? Feige: I usually break it down into thinking about three different categories. If you have a patient that's pregnant and thinking about taking a trip or has one scheduled, what kind of advice do you normally give them?ĭr.
