title: Pregnancy and travel.
abstract: Travel is not generally contraindicated during pregnancy, but there are some risks. The pregnant traveler needs a careful predeparture evaluation, and her itinerary should not take her far from available medical and obstetric care. The pregnant traveler must avoid diseases (such as malaria and hepatitis E) that can have devastating effects. Travel must be curtailed when there would be potential exposure to certain infectious diseases or extreme environmental conditions.
