[Travelling when pregnant? possible, but...].
Travelling when pregnant? possible, but... Travelling when pregnant is possible. We recommend to travel during the 2nd trimester, avoid region of high malaria endemicity, choose destination where good medical service exist, check for adequate insurance coverage, favour comfortable type of travel, without long air or road transportation, avoid travelling if at risk pregnancy. For any vaccination or medication risks and benefits should be carefully weighed, pregnant women are more vulnerable and at higher risk of complications.
