Dear expectant mothers, you are probably often faced with the question of where is the best place to spend time and relax comfortably during pregnancy. After all, you really want to get as many positive emotions as possible, bask in the sun and pamper yourself and your future baby with fruits and vegetables, delicious dishes in. The question is difficult and subtle. Now we will try to help you decide on your choice of vacation spot.
Is it possible to fly on an airplane while pregnant?
First of all, before planning a trip, you should definitely consult with your doctor. If the pregnancy is progressing normally, and there are no threats or contraindications, then you can safely prepare for the trip.
Complications may be as follows:
- Disturbances in the formation of the placenta. If the placenta is located low (the area of the internal os of the cervix), then even minimal loads increase the risk of bleeding and create the possibility of miscarriage.
- . In this case, the pregnant woman develops swelling in her arms and legs, a puffy face, and increased blood pressure. In this situation, going on vacation is not recommended. It is necessary to go to the maternity hospital for treatment.
- Exacerbation of allergic reactions and chronic diseases
- There is a threat of miscarriage.
The most suitable period for going on vacation is the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. If you have no contraindications, then no difficulties should arise at this time. However, if your pregnancy exceeds 30 weeks, then doctors recommend not to take risks and give up thoughts of a long-term vacation. Even with minor complications, long trips are prohibited.
But even if you have such a problem, do not despair. Sanatoriums are a wonderful place for a pregnant woman to relax; it is doubly wonderful if they are specialized for expectant mothers.
It would be good if the sanatorium you chose was close to the hospital and your home. It is not at all necessary to go somewhere to the south or to distant lands. The main condition for relaxation is clean air and a peaceful and favorable environment.
Remember that no matter what term you are in, do not be left unattended. There must be a person next to you who can provide first aid if necessary.
In addition, it must be remembered that the sanatorium accepts women up to 32 weeks of pregnancy. By the way, there are many in Russia.
Where to go on a trip when pregnant?
What if (hurray!) the doctor allowed me to go somewhere far away from my native place? Where to go? On what? Where is better? What to take with you?
Stop. Now you need to concentrate and carefully think through all the details of the trip, so that later you can enjoy it to the fullest.
So.
- Worth it right away exclude mountainous areas and areas . Why? At high altitudes, the air is very thin, which can cause you to lack oxygen. In addition, it is necessary to remember that pregnant women are very sensitive to changes in time zones and climate, so the period of adaptation to new conditions becomes quite long.
- Try plan your trip not at the height of the holiday season! This time is not particularly suitable for the expectant mother to relax at prestigious resorts. During this period, hotels are usually full. Music is blaring everywhere. Noisy crowds of tourists and vacationers roam the streets and embankments, flight delays are becoming more frequent, and you can get lost at the airport. Moreover, if you decide to go south, then at the height of the holiday season the heat here is unbearable. Consequently, the off-season is beneficial not only due to a decrease in the number of vacationers, but also due to reduced prices. Therefore, you can easily afford a high-level hotel.
- Take care of choosing your place of residence in advance , so that you don’t have to travel an extra few tens of kilometers from the airport to the hotel. Why do you need extra time on the road?
- When choosing a vacation spot you need clearly understand where one hundred percent Not option go , so this is a bus tour. So put off the rosy dream of Rome, Paris and Venice for later.
- According to climatic conditions The countries of Europe and Asia are considered the most favorable for holidays for expectant mothers. The main advantage of such trips is the short flight, and, therefore, a small burden for you and the baby. It will be better if you choose a place no more than three to four hours away by flight. Do not rush to countries with subtropical and tropical climates. To travel there you need special preventive vaccinations, which are contraindicated for pregnant women. And the aggressive sun will not do you any good. Therefore, it will be best for you to relax in countries with climatic conditions close to ours, as well as in countries with a mild continental climate. Here is a list of places and countries most suitable for holidays for expectant mothers:
- Bulgaria
- Croatia
- Spain
- Switzerland
- Mediterranean coast
- Türkiye
- Greece
- Dry climate Crimea much more favorable for expectant mothers than, for example, the humid climate of the Caucasus. Here you can always find a calm and comfortable place to relax. We also advise you to turn your attention to the Mediterranean Sea. Many expectant mothers come to its coast for vacation from Europe. You, too, will undoubtedly enjoy walks along the coast, fresh air, healing climate and free hotels.
- Coasts Turkey, Cyprus, Greece and its many islands are also perfect for traveling while pregnant. It is worth noting that even in winter, orange trees bloom in Cyprus, the temperature reaches 25 degrees and the tables are simply bursting with an abundance of fruits, vegetables and dairy products.
Reviews from forums from pregnant women who have traveled:
We think you will be interested to know about the impressions of young mothers from such trips:
Faith:
If your doctor allows it, I would highly recommend Croatia or Montenegro. Firstly, the flight there is very short, and secondly, there is sea, sand, and pine trees... The air is simply a miracle!
Anastasia:
I report: I returned from vacation over the weekend. I went to Evpatoria in Crimea. I rested from 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. I sunbathed under an umbrella, swam, ate fruit, and in general, I felt great! We had a great time and returned home tanned, happy and rested!
Marina:
Recently the whole family went to Crimea and vacationed near Yalta. This is great! My condition at first was not very good - toxicosis, my legs were swollen, I was depressed... But on vacation I forgot about all this. I didn’t get out of the sea until lunch, and after lunch I walked until late in the evening. At night I slept like the dead. I felt amazing in the morning. I didn't feel pregnant at all. Only the baby did not let himself be forgotten. Overall, I'm delighted. Although I was very afraid to go, because we were traveling by car. But she even endured this move very well.
Anna:
In Crimea there are excellent sanatoriums for expectant mothers - in Yevpatoria and Yalta. There are gymnastics for pregnant women, psychological preparation and much more. In Evpatoria, of course, prices are affordable, but in Yalta they will be more expensive.
Elena:
Türkiye is the best option. You just need to choose quiet family hotels with good service. There are a lot of beautiful hotels, a lot of greenery, swimming pools, good food in the hotels and service.
Olga:
Much depends on the stage of pregnancy and your condition. In September we vacationed in northern Greece. A wonderful trip - mild climate, warm sea and very hospitable and friendly people.
Alexandra:
I flew to Turkey from 21 to 22 weeks. The trip was great, the vacation was unforgettable! I don’t want to impose my opinion, but if the pregnancy proceeds without any complications, then you shouldn’t feed yourself negative thoughts. At home in the Ryazan region, I now suffer more from the local smog. And I probably endured more overload on city buses than on an airplane.
Means of transportation during pregnancy
So, you have decided on your vacation spot. How to go on a trip? At this stage, pay attention to the following important points:
If you feel well, waiting for a baby is not at all an obstacle to travel. True, you will have to plan them a little more carefully than usual.
By the way, by law, the expectant mother has the right to annual paid leave before maternity leave. This right does not depend on length of service, no matter what the strict employer says.
As for doctors, they consider the first and second trimesters to be the most favorable for travel. Of course, in the absence of contraindications.
Choosing transport
Pregnancy is not a disease, but it does make some adjustments to your lifestyle, and this is worth taking into account. Do not overestimate your strength: seven in a car or bus may not be at all as easy as in normal conditions, the shelf in a reserved seat carriage will seem especially hard and uncomfortable, and the sneezing of a neighbor above you will be extremely suspicious.
Train: Buy tickets in advance for a branded train and comfortable seats. The option “come on, will no one give in to a pregnant woman” will turn out to be a failure if the neighbors in the compartment are a mother with a small child, elderly people or simply principled citizens.
Bus and car: Even if you have never felt sick on the road, stock up on anti-sickness remedies; during pregnancy, the body behaves unpredictably. Just read the instructions carefully: many such drugs are contraindicated during pregnancy. Among the “folk” and safe ones, you can try the candied root or a drink made from it. And don’t forget about stopping every two hours to walk around and warm up.
Airplane: considered the most preferred “pregnant” transport. True, flying in the last stages is very, very not recommended, and some companies, when registering, may ask to present a certificate from a doctor about satisfactory health and an exchange card if the pregnancy is more than 30 weeks. By the way, the last document (issued at 28-30 weeks) must be taken with you on any trip.
Choosing a vacation spot
The middle zone is considered the optimal place to relax. But it is better to postpone a trip to hot countries, as well as exotic trips that require a number of vaccinations. The climate of mountainous areas can cause poor health: the higher the resting place, the lower the oxygen concentration, so fatigue may increase and shortness of breath may occur.
Heading out to bask in the sun and swim in the sea? Great, just don’t forget about the sun safety rules (we sunbathe before 11 a.m. and after five in the evening) and keep it closed to protect your belly from the sun.
Particular attention should be paid to your place of residence: an antenatal clinic and a hospital within an hour's drive will make you feel calmer and reduce possible risks. An important role should also be given to food, or more precisely, its safety: unknown southern cafes, at least somewhat dubious dishes from trays will now be superfluous. The ideal option is full board in a holiday home or sanatorium. In the latter, you can choose not only tasty, but also healthy dietary food. Say a firm “no” to exotic fruits, blue cheeses, fish dishes and a decisive “yes” to bottled water.
When going on a trip from a travel agency, check the terms of medical insurance in case you need it during your vacation.
Choosing a company
Husband, mom, sister or girlfriend? Each of these options has its advantages. Just discuss in advance what you expect from each other and what you can give. If your girlfriend plans to relax to the fullest, visiting discos and starting holiday romances, your mother loves long walks, your sister is a 100 percent “night owl” in terms of her daily routine, and your husband dreams of diving, you most likely will not be happy with each other’s company . But if everyone outlines their personal and your general plans, then everything will almost certainly go smoothly.
Mothers with children, small and not very young, are also not the most suitable company. It just seems that you both need a calm, measured rest. In practice, this can result in inappropriate daily routines, noisy theme parks and long walking tours.
It’s not worth going on vacation alone, unless we are talking about special sanatoriums for pregnant women, where your well-being will be under the constant supervision of caring staff. In other cases, it is better if a loved one is nearby.
And, of course, don’t forget about the right attitude: you should spend this vacation as best and as fruitfully as possible, gaining strength for the next, wonderful, but difficult stage.

Doctors say that a healthy pregnancy is not a reason to give up traveling. Pleasant emotions, relaxation and a generally good mood can only benefit the expectant mother. True, it is necessary to take into account some of the nuances of the “interesting situation” and plan the trip wisely.
Where and how can you go on vacation during pregnancy?
Safe period for travel 9 months of pregnancy are divided into three trimesters:
first - from the first to the 13th week of pregnancy;
the second - from the 14th to the 27th week;
third - from the 28th to the 38th week (until the moment of birth)
Many women believe that the most convenient period for traveling on vacation is the first trimester. Of course, the tummy is not yet so big and it is convenient to hide it under a loose T-shirt, it is not yet difficult to walk and you can actively spend your leisure time. But doctors do not agree with this opinion. In the first trimester, the body of the expectant mother is very sensitive to any changes: food allergies, intolerance to foods and odors, motion sickness, toxicosis, etc. appear. In addition, in the first weeks of pregnancy there is a high risk of miscarriage, so stress and stress are contraindicated. At this time, gynecologists advise to refrain from long journeys. Only short trips within the country are allowed.
Obstetricians-gynecologists call the second trimester the safest for traveling on vacation. At this time, the woman is already getting used to her “special” position, and the fetus begins a stable period of development of internal systems. If there are no contraindications, then you can travel abroad.
Where to go when pregnant?
The problem of choice with today's variety of services offered by travel companies in your case should be limited to the following considerations.
Firstly, the climate: if pregnancy proceeds normally, you can rest in any climate zone, although in the last trimester a sharp change in climate is still undesirable.
Secondly, temperature air in your selected country or region. In countries such as Mexico, Cuba, Egypt, Tunisia, the UAE, and India, already in May - June the air temperature exceeds 30°C. It is advisable for pregnant travelers to protect themselves from the heat. It is better to choose countries for your holiday where the summer air temperature is close to what you are used to, and you should not go there in the hottest months (that is, not in July or August). The conditions of the resorts in the Baltic countries, Croatia, Turkey, France, Spain, and Switzerland are good.
Thirdly, what about the love of the exotic? It is impossible to unequivocally answer the question of whether pregnant women can travel to exotic countries. This issue should be resolved individually, after consultation with a doctor. For example, a trip to Africa is fraught with the risk of contracting serious infectious diseases, so everyone leaving must be vaccinated against yellow fever and then take an antimalarial drug for preventive purposes. Naturally, pregnant women should not do either of these. The doctor decides on vaccination in each case individually. In the first trimester, vaccination against influenza and against all tropical infections is prohibited, so as not to harm the health of the developing fetus. In addition, exotic countries (Cuba, Mexico, African countries, island states) are too far away, and the upcoming long flight (sometimes with a transfer) will be extremely tiring for anyone, not to mention the expectant mother.
Which sea to choose for relaxation during pregnancy?
Finally, the coveted sea or ocean is splashing invitingly at your feet and you are ready to surrender to the will of the waves. What should you remember about this?
It is very useful for pregnant women to swim, especially in sea water, saturated with salts and microelements that improve the health of the body. This natural hypertonic solution relaxes muscles very well, tones the nervous system, and helps with stress. In water, the expectant mother does not feel the weight of her own body; she relaxes and refreshes her body on a hot day. In addition, swimming is an excellent workout for the respiratory and muscular systems of the body, which will help prepare for childbirth. Swimming is very useful for varicose veins, as it maintains muscle tone. Therefore, swim for fun, but avoid overload, do not organize competitions, do not dive.
And more about exoticism. In the southern seas, there are often coral reefs right off the coast, around which colorful fish of extraordinary beauty frolic. Remember that you cannot step on coral (there are special slippers for this; you can buy them in advance in the store): stepping on coral with your bare feet will cause problems for the rest of your vacation. The same can be said about “goldfish” and other representatives of marine fauna - you should not touch them under any circumstances, as they can be poisonous.
If the temperature of the sea water does not seem very high to you and you feel chills when entering the water, listen to your feelings and do not get overcooled - in this case, you should prefer a swimming pool to the sea, where the water temperature is much higher.
Important tips for pregnant women:
Choose the first row of seats near the aisle;
If possible, get up from your seat every 30 minutes and walk around the cabin for 2-3 minutes;
Take with you or order in advance a diet menu;
Keep lozenges and necessary medications on hand;
Before the flight, you can drink a light, safe sedative.

In April-May it is good to go somewhere to the south, where it is already warm, there is sun and warmth. The main thing is to be in the fresh air for at least four hours a day, otherwise the trip makes no sense and there are no problems with toxicosis. It is recommended to take vacations during hours of maximum solar activity.

Italy (April-May)
Spain (April-May)
Israel (closer to May the sea is already warm in Eilat)

You can swim in the sea or pool, take a walk along the embankment in the evening, eat exotic dishes, toughen up, and relax. Gentle sunshine, friendly service, a cozy hotel room, the opportunity to take a break from cooking pots and ironing shirts - what else does a woman need to be happy?

November
Where to spend your winter holidays:
Spa tours in sanatoriums
Ski holiday - discard it right away. If only you stand next to the slide and watch how others ride. But the risk of catching a cold, getting cold, or worse, slipping is too great. Whether you need such a risk - decide for yourself.
Holidays by the sea are complicated by the remoteness of warm regions. Less warm seas and sunny weather in winter are only found in Egypt and the UAE. The weather conditions are almost perfect.
November, December, January- the best months for a holiday in the United Arab Emirates based on weather conditions. Moreover, the water cools down from November, so at the beginning of winter the water is warmer, and in February you can forget about swimming.
Egypt's weather peak is in October, but in winter there are very comfortable conditions for pregnant women to relax, provided that there is no toxicosis, of course. In January the water is already quite cool, but the air is very comfortable and there is plenty of sun. The disadvantage of Egypt is all sorts of security risks, a low level of service in hotels and an incomprehensible level of medical care, so when choosing between these two options, it is better to choose the United Arab Emirates.
Take care of your wardrobe too. During sunny hours, light clothing in light colors with sleeves is the safest. It will protect you from burns, and if the clothes are made of natural materials - cotton or linen, then from allergic reactions, which most often manifest themselves in the sun. Don't forget about your headdress. To avoid overheating, you should not wear tight-fitting clothes - they disrupt the natural cooling process of the skin and contribute to overheating.

When purchasing a plane ticket, find out what documentation You must take it with you in order to be allowed on the flight. This is a very important point, since most airlines refuses to provide services to pregnant women in the last months of pregnancy and before childbirth, it is for this reason that you should have a certificate with you indicating the duration of your pregnancy.
In addition, do not forget to put it in your suitcase exchange card and get health insurance.

If doctor recommends going to a hospital; you should not ignore his instructions and go on vacation. Future mommy should first of all think about baby, and only then about summer vacation. Summer is not the only time.
Which countries are suitable for a pregnant woman to holiday?
Even if pregnancy passes without complications, abruptly changing the climate and going to hot countries is not recommended. For this reason, opt for climate control zone, to which you are accustomed.
Choosing country, find out what the weather conditions are and temperature air are expected there during your holiday. For example, in Tunisia, India, Egypt, Turkey, from May to June, the air temperature is about 30 degrees. In addition, these countries experience high humidity. Such conditions will be created for a woman in position discomfort, and she will have to stay indoors all the time. It is better to visit the above countries in September or August.
The best options for holidays are countries such as Croatia, Switzerland, Bulgaria, France, Crimea. However, you should know that in these countries at the end of summer it can be quite hot.
What about the exotic?
During pregnancy, you should abandon the idea of visiting exotic countries, as there is a risk of contracting a dangerous infection. To avoid this, before traveling you need to do vaccinations. And, as you know, not all injections are safe, both for the woman herself and for the fetus.
In addition, not every woman can withstand long-term flight in airplane.
Sea Sea…
Sea water has a very beneficial effect on organism pregnant woman. It contains salts and microelements that help strengthen immune system and the body as a whole. Sea waves help relax muscles, activate the nervous system, fight stress.
Swimming During pregnancy, it is an excellent workout for both the respiratory and muscular systems. Thanks to this, a woman can prepare for the process childbirth. For women who have varicose veins, swimming provides an opportunity to maintain muscles in good shape.
When going to the Red or Mediterranean Sea, do not forget about creatures who live there. Exotic fish, jellyfish, and corals can bite and sting painfully, releasing dangerous poison.
It is also necessary to monitor the temperature water at sea because hypothermia may negatively affect the course of pregnancy.
Oh, and don't forget to stock up cream sunscreen, hat and umbrella. We wish you a pleasant and safe holiday!
Regarding the choice of direction, a lot depends on your interests and level of activity before pregnancy. Those who have never led an active lifestyle should not shock their body with long walks in the mountains and parks, but should please it with the sea and sun. Those who are bored without physical activity should pay attention to the mountains, lakes and sanatoriums in forested areas.
Swelling, toxicosis and “toilet addiction” are not the best companions on the road, so it is better to avoid long flights. Here are the general recommendations of doctors:
- distance (no more than 4-5 hours of flight)
- climate (neither cold nor hot, neither wet nor dry 😉)
- high level of medicine in the host country
The main thing on vacation is to dose the load. It is important not to walk many, many kilometers, but to be in motion for at least four hours in the fresh air, saturating the body with oxygen and strengthening the muscles. Those who have health problems or concerns about traveling should turn to the “developed” resort areas, where you can always consult a gynecologist. It can be:
- Sivash Spit in Azov
- Marianske Lazne in the Czech Republic
Long-distance flights, exotics, mangoes and avocados straight from the tree – that will come later. Now the main thing is to gather strength, take a break from household chores, while protecting yourself as much as possible so that our baby is born healthy.
