Travel

Before 32 weeks gestation, we allow any domestic travel if your pregnancy is uncomplicated. After 32 weeks, we recommend traveling no more than two to three hours from Central Baptist Hospital. If traveling, be sure to stretch your legs every 1-2 hours to prevent blood clots. Pregnancy causes an increased chance of deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
If you will be leaving the country, please discuss the itinerary with your physician. You may be in need of vaccines or at risk for diseases that are untreatable in pregnancy.
