Eat well during travel when pregnant

When travelling, it is easier for many women to eat 5 or 6 small meals a day rather than three which can stabilise your blood glucose levels. Always carry bottled water with you! Drinking extra fluids can help to prevent many complications and it is especially important to help produce breast milk when feeding your baby.

It may also be helpful to carry healthy snacks with you in case you are waiting for a delayed flight or are likely to get stuck in a traffic jam.

As long periods of travel can induce nausea, motion sickness and dizziness you could try alternative therapies such as hypnotherapy techniques, acupuncture or acupressure, reflexology and homeopathy remedies such as nux vomica.

You should always seek advice from a qualified therapist who should be registered with their chosen, appropriate council.
