In case of an uncomplicated and single pregnancy (carrying only one foetus) the following regulations apply:
-Expectant mothers will be accepted without a medical certificate up to the end of the 27th week of pregnancy.
-If you are travelling up to 27 weeks into your pregnancy (at time of return flight) no additional documentation is required to travel unless you’ve experienced any complications.
-Between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy a medical certificate* will be required. This must confirm the expected date of delivery and confirm fitness to fly (doctors letter must have been written no earlier than 10 days before the outbound date of travel).
-Expectant mothers won’t be accepted under any circumstance from 36th week or in the case of multiple pregnancies (twins etc.) you will be unable to travel beyond the 32nd week of your pregnancy (at the time of your return inbound flight).
-In case of an uncomplicated, multiple pregnancy, a medical approval is required from the 28th to the 32nd week of pregnancy and we are not able to transport expectant mothers anymore from the 32nd gestation week.
THE DO`S and DON`T OF A PREGNANT WOMAN
The DO`S and DON`T of a Pregnant Woman
Before your little bundle of joy arrives, you’re responsible for helping them grow in a nurturing and healthy environment. It’s commonly known to try and eat healthy while avoiding certain foods, exercise, and taking your
prenatal multivitamins.
Now here are the list of the DO`S and DON`T
Pregnancy DO`S
1: Multivitamin Intake: Eating a balanced diet that’s rich in vitamins and minerals is the best way to provide your body with all of the healthy nutrients it needs to support a growing baby. A healthy diet alone, however, may not be enough for pregnancy.
Prenatal vitamins contain higher levels of certain nutrients that expectant mothers require at higher doses, such as:
{i} Folic acid
{ii} Calcium
{iii} Iron
These vitamins assist with proper development of the fetus and help prevent birth defects.
A multivitamin usually include DHA, EPA, or both. These are omega-3 fats that are important for your baby’s proper brain development.
2: Getting Enough Rest: Pregnancy is demanding, especially in the final trimester, and you’ll need to get enough sleep.
Changing hormone levels, anticipation, and anxiety can make sleep elusive during your 9 months of pregnancy.
Take enough rest if you feel tired and schedule naps whenever you can.
3: Practicing Enough Exercise: We now know that exercise is good for both Mother and Child.
Regular exercise may help you combat many of the issues that arise during pregnancy,
Such as:
{i} Insomnia
{ii} Muscle pain
{iii} Excessive weight gain
{iv} Mood problems
If you regularly exercise before you became pregnant, keep it up.
4: Having Enough Sex: Sex during pregnancy is also important, as long as you don’t have a complicating issue such as placenta previa or another type of high-risk pregnancy. Sex is safe with your partner right up until your water breaks. If you have discomfort, you may have to try new positions.
Pregnancy
DON`Ts
1: Do Not Take Alcohol: There appears to be no safe level for alcohol intake in pregnancy.
Alcohol may greatly impact your baby’s development. People who drink alcohol while pregnant could deliver a baby with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS).
Symptoms of FAS include:
{i} low birth weight
{ii} learning disabilities
{iii} behavior problems
{iv} lagging patterns in terms of growth and {v} development milestones
2: Do Not smoke: Babies born to women who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to have a lower birth weight and are at a greater risk for learning disabilities than children born to nonsmoking mothers.
3: Don’t eat raw meat: Raw, undercooked meat and eggs carry the risk of foodborne illness, such as listeriosis and toxoplasmosis.
Food poisoning is also a possibility. These conditions can cause serious, life-threatening illnesses that could lead to severe birth defects and even a miscarriage.
