Travel has always been part of human life - first walking, then on horseback, the first machines. Modern humanity has at its disposal a huge number of different vehicles, ranging from passenger cars to airplanes.
The roads are constantly accompany a person throughout his life - both at small distances, for example, get to work, and large - for example, leave travel over long distances, often not just to another city, but in another country. And sometimes on another continent.
And naturally, pregnant woman, roads and transport will be affected. As with the pregnancy life does not end, and the days when a pregnant woman is not out of the house and all 9 months of waiting the appearance of the crumbs into the light. However, those kinds of transport, which in ordinary life we do not pay absolutely no attention and is perceived as a matter of course, a pregnant woman sees a completely different - for example, pregnancy and flying have their own characteristics, as well as automobile travel.
It is about the different modes of transport and travel during pregnancy will be discussed in this article - after all, pregnancy and travel can be combined only with the right approach.
Public transport
Almost all forms of public transport have become so ingrained in our lives that we take them for granted. Of course, few people experiencing the delight of having to use public transport, but have long been accustomed to all of its features and discomfort, and put up with them.
But it is necessary for a woman to become pregnant, as her perception of public transport instantly changed drastically. Taxis, buses, trolleybuses, trams, metro, they all become a kind of test for the mother. In this period, certainly most women desperately regret that they cannot be moved by the power of thought.
A pregnant woman becomes very vulnerable and vulnerable. First, the physical condition of women varies widely - as a rule, there is a strong fatigue, dizziness, weakness, feeling sick. But even this is not the worst thing. Greater complexity is the psycho-emotional state of a pregnant woman. So, for example, flight delay or a crowded bus beauty can cause a pregnant woman has a real fit of despair or anger, instead of mild disappointment, as previously. Below we will discuss the most common adverse situations, which are pregnant women.
The rudeness of other people
The feeling of annoyance at that moment, when they are in the bus, familiar, perhaps, to all those people who at least once in my life enjoyed by public transport. The majority of people is able to restrain myself and not show his negative mood around. However, as a rule, each bus or subway car will be found a couple of particularly nervous citizens, for whom the main attraction all their life is winding nerves of the people around them. And, of course, is a more appropriate place than public transport difficult to come up with.
A pregnant woman is often very difficult to stand up for themselves - for example, refuse to give way to brisk the pensioner, which hangs over her with huge bags, threatening now simply press a woman they do not respond to hurtful remarks passengers in response to a request to give place, to protect your stomach from excessive attention to his young belly, and unsolicited comments and advice in your email address.
Do not try to cope with conflict situations. Psychologists in these situations, ask for help from others - as in the cabin of the transport you are not alone. And surround you in mostly very good people, and able to empathize, and support. Just need this little push.
Agree that to pretend that they didn't notice boorish behavior with respect to a pregnant woman is much easier than to engage in discussion and to tickle your nerves. However, if you contact the person with the perplexing question of what you could call this dissatisfaction in Hama, he would in any case be forced to intervene in the conflict and to provide you with the much needed moral support.
Sexual harassment
Public transport there is another very relevant issue, which, unfortunately, often silent, preferring not to talk about it. So - sexual harassment in crowded public transport. Incorrect actions of men who have pronounced sexual nature, at least once in his life faced almost every woman. Of course, that such behavior is totally unacceptable, needless to say - other sexual problems should not be applicable.
If a pregnant woman, as well, and not pregnant, faced with a similar problem, to tolerate that kind of behavior she in no case shall. But, on the other hand, a sharp indication of their place can cause in response to a huge number of most negative emotions. In order to avoid such a situation and as much as possible to protect yourself from the waves of negative energy, the woman also much wiser to seek help from others.
You should not poke your finger, and openly accuse someone of sexual harassment. Show your imagination and with the most innocently ask the people around some provocative question that people immediately understand what is happening to you. For example. Ask any standing next to men: " And you don't know why that man my buttocks touching? " or something similar. In almost all cases, this line polecenia brings remarkable results - such instance will rapidly leave the transportation to the first stop. Or, in an extreme case, if the conscience of such a person full of discord, at least go in the other end of the cabin.
The indifference of other people
As mentioned above, in spite of that, most of us are surrounded by good-hearted people. But often, due to various reasons, people forget about their qualities - someone concerned about some personal problems, someone thinks about something, and someone hadn't had a good sleep and dozing in the process path. Incidentally, most often this problem is the problem of residents of large cities.
Do not hesitate to ask other people for help and some understanding of your situation! Go to the transport and wait a few minutes - you may offer to sit down and on their own initiative. If not, and you have to go for a long time, take the initiative in their hands. Look around and ask who did you find most enjoyable, to give you a place - believe me, in this situation, you will fail no more than 1 % of people.
It is fair to mention one possible situation. In case you are asked to sit, and you sit down for any reason you do not want, be polite and immediately let a person to understand that your refusal is not a tribute of politeness. To anything long reminicing and dispute, forcing the person to persuade you - thus you put him in a very awkward position. Much better would be to clearly reject the offer, not forgetting to thank offered the man's place.
A sudden attack of nausea and vomiting
Almost every pregnant woman is periodically faced with feelings of nausea and even vomiting. Of course, a woman in a similar situation experience embarrassment and awkwardness. However, such situations are not insured by any one expectant mother. And it is very important to choose the right tactics in this situation.
In advance of the upcoming trip, prepare a small bag to collect vomitus. Advised to prefer opaque polyethylene.
Make sure you have a small bottle with clean water and a handkerchief.
The same goes for wet wipes - small packaging will not take up much space.
Once you feel the first signs of impending nausea, immediately remove pre-prepared bag. After the vomiting will take off at the nearest stop, throw the bag and rinse mouth with water and wipe with a cloth. Wipe your face and hands with a cloth and wait until you are better. If the vomiting happened in transport long-distance, going outside is not always possible - in this case, use the toilet, which you will be able to put themselves in relative order.
In any case, do not take to heart oblique glances. Remember that vomiting in your situation is perfectly normal and in no case should not be a cause for shame. In the end, all the people surrounding you, came to light just as well and nothing else - no one was born with the help of vegetative propagation. Remember this and do not worry about what happened.
Fainting
Syncope are also frequent companions pregnant women. Of course, after the first case of fainting, you should as soon as possible to seek medical help. Often fainting during pregnancy caused by such phenomena as iron deficiency anemia or hypotension (low blood pressure). The ingestion of certain drugs prescribed by the attending doctor - gynecologist, often completely removes the very cause of the fainting state.
However, any pregnant woman should be remembered that completely exclude the possibility of fainting is simply impossible, especially during the various trips - heat, shaking, a large number of people can cause the development of asthma. It is therefore very important to know how to behave in this situation.
In no event it is impossible to rely solely on the help of those around you other people. Unfortunately, life is not a fairy story in which a Prince always comes to the rescue. And to care about and rely on in these situations, a pregnant woman should in the first instance itself. And only then, perhaps, people will miss it and will offer Wat we need help.
Any pregnant woman should know basic symptom of the approaching fainting, in order to promptly respond and take the necessary steps:
The sensation of vertigo, "zero gravity" of the body.
The tingling of the face, hands and feet.
The loss of clarity of vision - clouding, appearance of spots in front of eyes.
Hearing loss causes ringing in the ears.
In any case, do not expect that this condition will disappear by itself, not turning around to faint. If it will be great. And if not? According to physicians, the average fainting pregnant women lasts about fifteen minutes. Are you ready this time to spend on the floor, unable to control the situation? No, probably not.
That is why the appearance of the first symptoms of the approaching fainting pregnant woman must do the following:
Feeling unwell, try as quickly as possible to sit down or, better yet, lie down, if it takes place in the train.
Definitely as soon as possible let us know the condition of those people who are closest to you. As practice shows, almost no one in this situation are not able to deny the pregnant woman help.
Try as quickly as possible to get rid tight and constrictive clothes, unbutton the collar, remove the belt.
Motion sickness
Many people are prone to such unpleasant phenomenon of motion sickness. And during pregnancy, this probability increases many times - at least once during pregnancy seasick almost any pregnant woman. The causes of this condition are numerous - ranging from weak vestibular apparatus and ending with severe chronic diseases, often associated with pathology of the cardiovascular system. However, sometimes you may receive cuddling, and without any good reason. So, for example, such a "cocktail" as the bus and pregnancy causes severe discomfort of many women.
If you even once saw a case of motion sickness, the choice of the route and means of transportation, be sure to consider some of the nuances:
Mode of transport.
Try to choose the vehicle, in which the probability of sickness is much lower than in the other. So, for example, prefer subway or tram, bus or trolley bus, a train - car. If for any reason the trip by motor vehicles to refuse fails, and you drive your own car, consider carefully the route - avoid steep elephants, rises and turns and sudden braking - they repeatedly reinforce the sickness.
Eating schedule.
The fact, do you have the feeling of hunger, greatly affects the likelihood of motion sickness. So, for example, a trip on an empty stomach much faster will cause sickness and, as a consequence, a feeling of nausea. In no case do not sit in traffic on an empty stomach, nothing ate previously. The exception to this rule may be only one case - a trip for tests that can be performed only on an empty stomach.
However, in this case, be sure to take care of that immediately after leaving the clinic you were the kind of food that you can eat. Don't expect fast - food - nutrition of pregnant women should be full and healthy. Much wiser to prepare the fruit or a little nuts. Incidentally, nuts during the movement very effectively help fight sickness.
However, do not fall to the other extreme - to sit in the vehicle after a hearty lunch or dinner, with a full stomach. This behavior is also the right step to severe motion sickness. It is not recommended to take the transport earlier than half an hour after eating, especially fatty.
The factors that enhance the motion sickness
If you feel that while driving you begin to rock, try to relax. Doctors in such situations, it is recommended to close my eyes flashing for window objects, knitting or reading while driving provoke and intensify the process of motion sickness.
Injured in transport
Unfortunately, but gynecologists often faced with pregnant women who received various injuries it is in transport. Any woman that cares about their health and especially the health of the baby should be aware of this possibility and take all necessary precautions.
Most importantly, what should be avoided pregnant woman is crowded public transport. Of course, to achieve this goal will have to make some effort to arrive at work early, or on the contrary, to negotiate with the authorities and to come later. This must be done in order to avoid the huge crowds of people in the so-called "rush hour". As would be sad as it may sound, but often people are seeking as quickly as possible to get to the workplace, do not notice around him nothing - neither your pregnancy or you. Sometimes pregnancy and public transport become a terrible headache for the woman and her relatives.
Matter how paradoxical it may sound, but most of the unintentional injury from the people around them pregnant women get it in the subway. During use of the metro observe a number of important security measures:
Input - output.
Try not to get in the car or out of it first. Otherwise, hurrying crowd can accidentally push you in the back. And it is impossible to predict how strong will this push and will lead to negative consequences for the unborn child and mother.
The escalator in the metro.
Descending or ascending, be extremely careful in any case do not run on the escalator - you can stumble and fall and in the great stream of people surrounding them can react and to help you not as fast as necessary.
The subway car.
Remember that the most crowded are the first and last cars, and less crowding felt in the middle of the car. Incidentally, in the subway, in the bus, the pregnant woman must constantly try to cover up the tummy hand - this way she can protect her baby from unintentional rumors and shock the people around them.
Travel long distances
In that case, if a pregnant woman has a long road for long distances, it is simply obliged to be concerned about how to prepare and take all necessary medications that you may need on the road. You know, that is not always at the right time pharmacy may be within reach, and travelling during pregnancy can present a lot of surprises, alas, often the most unexpected.
It is also hoped that in any car you have a car first aid kit - it contains only simple medicines, often strictly contraindicated in pregnancy. Before the trip, be sure to talk with your doctor - gynecologist. He will tell you which medications you may need on the road. You should not rely on your memory - be sure to write on the paper, how to take the dosage, the time of admission. Include a statement in the package with the medication - it is you may need.
In the first aid kit shall be the following medications:
Iodine 5%, or the solution of brilliant green 1%.
"Rennie" - a drug for heartburn, which very often is a faithful companion for pregnant women, regardless of their gestational age.
Tablets no - Spa. This drug is a great spasmolysant.
"Essentiale Forte" or "Mezim", which are designed to facilitate the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
The powder of manganese - make sure that it was tightly Packed. Remember that even dry crystals of manganese can burn the mucous membranes.
Alcohol tincture of Valerian.
"Smectite" or activated charcoal tablets. If you allow your financial capabilities, we advise you to buy enteros gel. All these drugs have great absorbing action - unfortunately, from food poisoning in the road are not insured absolutely none.
Be sure to put bandages - bandages, adhesive tape. It is impossible to predict when they will need it.
Put in a first aid kit the tool from a cold, you usually prefer to use.
In that case, if you encounter intermittent tearing, redness and itching of the eyes, don't forget to bring the eye drops.
Be sure to put in a first aid kit that febrifuge, which you are usually accustomed to use with increasing temperature.
Pregnancy and train
Trains have always been one of the most popular means of transportation. But in recent years, an increasing number of people prefer planes, as the road in this case is ten times less time than the train.
But it should be noted the fact that pregnancy and travel by train is more desirable than the flights on the plane and, moreover, the journey by car in pregnancy. Due to this facto very, very simple - in the train a pregnant woman feels much more comfortable - it can stand up to walk, or, on the contrary, lie exactly when she wants, it will not be affected by any external factors such as, for example, when flying on the plane. And, most importantly, on the train almost anyone and never swayed, which is extremely important for pregnant women.
However, needless to say, it is very important to take care of the comfort of the mother during the trip. Needless to say, in any case it is not necessary to travel in General or parlor car - as a rule, they are most often found fume smell, dirty socks, funny drunk company and compassionate grandmother, who consider it their duty to tell all about his life and give you a dozen other "valuable" advice. It is unlikely that such an atmosphere will benefit the expectant mother and raise her mood.
It is also important to ensure that the place of the pregnant women was lower. We should not hope that in the car, your neighbors, seeing the tummy, will ask you to change. Of course, in most cases it happens, but remember that your neighbors may be passengers with small children or older people, for whom the top shelf is also totally unacceptable option.
If you are traveling in the hot season, in advance, when buying tickets. Ask the cashier whether in this part of the conditioning. Plating trains heats up very quickly under the scorching rays and, without air conditioning, you may imagine what is about to experience the wicked in hell. And please feel not right neither you nor the baby. Also, try to buy tickets on the Express trains. And not passenger - you'll save yourself from long-term Parking in the road and reduce her time by about 30%.
Travel by plane
Next, let's talk about this topic as pregnancy and aircraft. Choosing this type of transport, such as aircraft, remember, pregnancy and flights have a number of specific features. Always carefully read about them and accept it, then you don't have to be surprised.
First, the term of your pregnancy, as a rule, most airlines do not allow on Board women on the big pregnancy - someone after 34 weeks of pregnancy, and someone after 36 - be sure to ask about this in the airline whose services you are going to use.
In addition, be sure to note the following caveat - most airlines allow flights only for those pregnant women who have a note from your doctor. The certificate shall include the duration of the pregnancy and the fact that the doctor allows the woman flight and I am sure that this pregnancy and fly safe. And without this help the woman simply does not sell tickets.
Also worth considering another feature of flights during pregnancy on a small period of time. Of course, the first few months of pregnancy, absolutely nobody can notice that you are pregnant and require help from your doctor stating that it allows you flying. Remember, however, that if a pregnancy, even for a small period of time, occurs with any complications, flights can provoke spontaneous its interrupt. So before flying, make sure you visit your gynecologist and see what he thinks about it.
And if a doctor, for whatever reason, believes that travel is at this stage can have negative effects on the mother and developing fetus, pregnant women are very reasonable decision to change mode of transport or even the rejection of this journey. Because the responsibility for travel in early pregnancy rests solely on the expectant mother.
But all formalities have been complied with and the woman is ready to fly. Seasoned moms are advised to follow some simple rules that will make it possible to facilitate travel and to minimize possible complications:
Avoid stressful situations.
In case you are prone to mood swings and stress, try to minimize all the annoyances. For example, things you need to collect in advance, do not delay until the last moment. The same goes for trips to the airport to leave home early, so as not to be nervous in traffic, wondering. If you have time to register.
Headache.
In that case, if you encounter periodic headache, make sure in advance that it did not overtake you on the road. The best way to prevent headaches is to drink as much water as possible, preferably ordinary pure water. Drink the liquid in small portions, but often enough.
More walk and sit properly.
Try to sit near the aisle. During the flight, try not to sit all the time, and every half hour to walk down the aisle. This precaution will help you to prevent swelling of the legs, which is not uncommon during migration. It is also very important to sit correctly. Favorite all pose in which the legs are crossed and the rest of the popliteal fossa at the edge of the seat, for pregnant women is totally unacceptable. Even one hour spent in a similar position, is sufficient to cause the development of venous thrombosis of the legs.
Pregnancy and vacation
In that case, if a pregnant woman decided to go on vacation, it must take into account all the peculiarities of his condition. Of course, a vacation in early pregnancy is more preferable than a month before the birth. But, of course, every pregnant woman makes her own conscious choice, taking into account all the nuances and circumstances in her case.
During pregnancy should give preference to European resorts, in which the service level is high enough. Refrain from traveling to those countries, where the unstable political situation or weather conditions - you just don't have a right to put your baby whatever dangers.
The same goes for extreme sports such as rafting on mountain rivers, surfing and diving, climbing from them expectant mother should be abandoned, no matter at what stage of pregnancy she is. Much better bring Hiking along the promenade or foothills, the water and the beautiful sunshine (but not during the hours of peak activity). So, pregnancy and leave the sea are the most ideal option. But in this case there is one big "but".
It is also very important to think carefully about the fact, in what climate zone you are going to spend your vacation. Gynecologists negatively related to abrupt climate changes of the pregnant woman. So, for example, to go in the winter in Thailand is to lay on your body absolutely does not need the additional load. Most of his rest, the body will readjust to the summer weather. And on returning home he again have to adapt to the winter - and, therefore, such leave during pregnancy will neither mother nor child nothing but more problems.
Make sure that your stay is as comfortable. Yes, in the Internet and TV are not good, but good bed and a fridge in your case is much more important. And if we are talking about summer, air conditioning can be for pregnant women probably the most necessary thing for the entire stay. Just remember that in any case it is unacceptable to sit or lie directly underneath - otherwise you risk all your vacation to spend in bed, in the company of TV, drugs and handkerchief.
Another very important issue that must be taken into consideration expectant mothers, going on vacation - it's a matter of catering. Remember that now your food should be healthy, productive and diverse. However, diversity should be within reasonable limits. The expectant mother should not eat too exotic dishes such as carpaccio or sushi, for example. Of course, nobody would argue that such food is very tasty and nutritious, but remember that in raw fish, and raw meat, are often gelmicin - worms.
Leisure activities also should not escape your attention. In that case, if the expectant mother is resting in a tourist group, it needs to know in advance about all the upcoming tours. Sometimes some of them are much wiser to abandon than that, beating last effort to try to keep up with the guide. The rest of the future mother should be built so that she could rest at any time, when she wants.
And remember the most important thing - any holiday, wherever and as he did not pass, must bring the expectant mother as much positive emotions. Smile, laugh, swim, warm yourselves under the rays of the sun - because the next vacation you will visit not one, but with your little miracle!
