A pregnant woman may have to travel during the months of pregnancy, whether for work or for a trip, but it should be known that there are a number of warnings that the pregnant woman must take into consideration when making the decision to travel by plane, including the time of pregnancy and the duration of travel.
In this context, Dr. Hatem Mohamed Hassan, a consultant in obstetrics and gynecology at the National Research Center, explained that making a decision Traveling by plane during pregnancy A difficult experience, especially during the first three months of pregnancy, or the last two months, as in this case it is completely prohibited to travel by plane.
The obstetrics and gynecology consultant revealed in a special statement to “Youm Seven” that long travel distances, which extend to more than 6 hours of travel, can expose the mother and fetus to danger, and one of the common problems is the difference in pressure inside the plane, which can sometimes cause a lack of oxygen in the fetus. It can also cause contractions in the uterus, which may cause premature birth, or internal bleeding can occur if she is susceptible to this, so all precautions must be taken, especially during the first 3 months of pregnancy.
However, if the travel is within the limits of 2 to 3 hours of travel, it is possible to travel during any period of pregnancy. No specific months are required for travel, and in the absence of chronic diseases such as blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease, you will obtain a medical certificate approved by the doctor to that effect. The decision to travel must be done with a Doppler to know the measure of blood flow from the fetus’s umbilical cord to ensure the speed of blood flow to the brain in the correct framework.
As for cases of complete prevention, they include those who have undergone an ICSI procedure, or those who suffer from poor ovulation and thus reduced chances of pregnancy, and those who are too old to become pregnant.
