The second trimester of pregnancy is approaching and you have spent all you can at home? Then it’s time to rush somewhere to Spain or Turkey. There is a gentle sun, a warm sea, and tourists are carried in their arms. And the child will become a traveler even before birth - that’s great.

We have compiled a list of countries that are suitable for expectant mothers. They chose those where it is not too hot and humid, there are no dangerous animals and medicine is developed. You and your baby will have a good time there, we promise.

Necessary Precautions

To begin with - a few important advice. Still, it is necessary that traveling “in position” is guaranteed to be safe.

Now you can choose a country to travel to. It is especially important for pregnant women to go where the weather is most favorable.

In winter - to Europe or to quiet resorts in Asia

In winter it is better to go somewhere outside the city. Ideally, go to a spa resort that has a special program for pregnant women. You can also visit spa resorts in Europe (for example, Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic) or celebrate Christmas in the Czech Republic, Germany or France.

If your pregnancy is going well, and you have good health and a persistent dislike of winter, you can go south. True, in winter many resorts are inaccessible. High season in winter time reigns in Southeast Asia, but it’s too far to fly there even from the Asian part of Russia. Although if you live in Asia or can easily endure a 6-hour flight, Thailand or Vietnam will do. Just choose a quiet resort with clean beaches and warm sea.

And the best place for a winter holiday for a pregnant woman is the UAE. In the Emirates, the heat subsides in winter, but the water remains warm until February. Here you will find spas, luxury hotels, even more luxurious shopping, absolutely gorgeous sunshine... Well, what can I explain, the Emirates are the Emirates. And medicine in the UAE is very developed.

In spring - to the UAE, Israel or Southern Europe

It’s great to travel in spring; there are several directions at once:

  • Still the same Emirates. It is warm here in March-April, but by May it becomes a bit hot, so it is better to fly in early spring.
  • Israel. In April-May the sea in Eilat is already warm, you can swim and sunbathe. Or go to the Dead Sea and pamper yourself with spa treatments.
  • Jordan. Aqaba and the Dead Sea coast are warm. Swim in the salty water or walk around ancient Petra.
  • Italy and Spain. It is good to relax here in May, when it becomes especially sunny. If you're really tired of summer, choose resorts in the south - Cadiz in Spain, Sicily or Sardinia in Italy.
  • Greece. It is also suitable for a spring holiday, although it is a little cooler here and it is not always possible to swim. But you can simply enjoy the sun, ancient sights and light cuisine.


In summer - to Turkey, to the south of Europe or further into the mountains

In summer you have to be careful. The main thing is not to go where it is hot and scorching. Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus and Türkiye are good options for you. Türkiye is especially good thanks to the all-inclusive system - you can lie on the beach, bask and just relax without thinking about where to go or where to dine. Many women praise Montenegro and Croatia - the flight is not far, the holidays are inexpensive, and the air is clean and healthy. True, tourism infrastructure is less developed in these countries.


In autumn - to Turkey, the south of Europe and the Emirates

Autumn is the ideal time to travel “in position”. In many countries near Russia, the velvet season begins in the fall.

The choice of destinations for autumn is also wide, but greatly depends on the month:

  • IN September All summer destinations are still available for vacation: Spain, Bulgaria and Cyprus. It gets even better in Turkey - in the summer it is still a bit hot there, but in September you will find gentle sun and warm sea.
  • IN October European resorts are starting to fall off. At the beginning of the month you can still relax in Spain or Greece, but by mid-October it gets colder there. That leaves Cyprus and Türkiye. But we advise you to fly to Tunisia - the swimming season is just beginning there, you can swim and relax in thalassotherapy centers.
  • November- It’s almost winter, so it’s better to fly to the Emirates at this time.


Choose what you like best and plan a vacation during pregnancy - let later you have something to remember and tell your child! And be sure to tell your friends about the article on social networks. Let them also know where to fly and where to relax.

“Where will I go next? I want to diversify my life"With these words I pestered my husband about 18 weeks pregnant, when the toxicosis passed and my capabilities, as it seemed to me, would allow me to even go into space.

Mandatory actions when you are going on vacation while pregnant

Before dreaming of a change of scenery and scrolling through relaxation areas on the Internet, go to your doctor if your great position and health allows you to travel - go for it! From personal experience and the doctor's wishes, I advise you to go to places, in which you need fly or go no more than 4-6 hoursV, and there will be a lot of this. Of course, I'm sure you won't go somewhere when your tummy is so big that you can't see your own feet. However, even with a small belly it is difficult to endure long distances and this can even harm both you and the baby.

It’s good where we are not)) So where should we go

The most safe places for pregnant women:

  • Flat terrain or with low mountains.
  • With a temperate climate, not radically different from the usual.
  • With moderate humidity.
  • With a temperature of no more than 30 Celsius and no less than -20.

Mountainous areas not entirely favorable for pregnant women, since pressure changes can negatively affect the baby and the mother, where very hot Same no comme il feut! For example, I was in Bulgaria and Crimea when I was pregnant. And the choice was right. In summer in Bulgaria, of course, it was a bit hot but I took my position into account and did not warm my tummy under the scorching sun, which I advise everyone to do. But it's great there! Nature, clear sea, soft sand, warm evenings and nicely equipped hotels!


I was in Crimea in the fall, you can’t swim, but because the mountains are not high, the pressure drop is not strong, but pine trees, nature and beautiful views! I liked it. I think the same for the baby.


Rest when you still have timeeasily moving around, at the end of the second trimester it was already hard for me, and I mostly lay down, and you can lie down at home. Be sure to have it with you comfortable and versatile clothes and shoes. Choose a holiday destination with a climate not fundamentally different from yours, so as not to sit through half your vacation waiting for acclimatization. AND main advice – listen to the doctor's recommendations, since any risk in in this case Can't compare with any champagne! Health to you and your children!

Many years ago, when I was on vacation on the Black Sea, my neighbors turned out to be a married couple from Donetsk: the woman was nine months pregnant. Daily sunbathing, swimming in the sea, a glass of Crimean wine at night - she did not deny herself anything. And she looked quite flourishing, considering her position. I was in a state of shock from all this: according to my feelings, she was supposed to give birth right on the beach and in the very near future. But the woman gave birth three weeks after the vacation, what does she mean? happy husband did not fail to notify me by telegram...

Only an observing gynecologist can tell you how to make your vacation safe for both the woman and her unborn child. In case of any complications, most likely, he will, if not prohibit, then at least recommend that you rest close to home - 50-100 kilometers away, so that you can regularly attend a consultation, and, if necessary, get an emergency medical assistance.

Africa can wait

The fact is that pregnancy itself can provoke diseases that a woman has not suffered from before: pyelonephritis, hypertension and others. A radical change in climate can only aggravate these diseases, so you should try to forget about distant countries and limit yourself to relaxing in your usual climate zone, in a sanatorium or at a seaside resort (for example, a vacation in Yalta has a beneficial effect).

The dry climate of Crimea is beneficial for pregnant women (especially those who suffer from asthma), as well as Valdai, Seliger, and the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. During pregnancy from 26 weeks, it is better to go on vacation to the country, and in the last two weeks before giving birth, be closer to the maternity hospital.

There are destinations that are contraindicated for pregnant women - first of all, exotic countries. For example, a trip to Africa or India is fraught with infectious diseases. If there is an opportunity and you definitely want to go abroad, then it is better to choose for your holiday countries whose climatic conditions are close to usual, and go there not in the hottest months: the Baltic states, Turkey (Marmaris), France, Croatia, Finland, Spain (to for example, the resorts of Catalonia, whose climate is close to the Crimean).

Contraindications for travel for a pregnant woman may include increased blood pressure. In these cases, leaving home is not recommended, since even slight exertion increases the possibility of bleeding and can cause a miscarriage. In any case, before going on vacation, it is advisable to make sure that nothing threatens you. The doctor must make an extract with exact date pregnancy and minimal tests ( general analysis blood and urine), as well as recommendations. In addition, after 30 weeks of pregnancy, wherever you go, you should always have an exchange card with you.

What to do on vacation?

Rest should not be associated with heavy loads: it is worth minimizing the number of excursions and long walks, especially in the mountains. But swimming has a very beneficial effect on your well-being (it is better to do this early in the morning or in the evening). In water, a woman feels at ease, her muscles relax. In addition, swimming is an excellent workout for the respiratory and muscular systems of the body, which helps prepare for childbirth. Do not forget that exercises in water can help correct the baby’s incorrect position - transverse or. True, some pregnant women cannot swim - for example, with hypertension. Swimming is contraindicated even when bloody discharge, polyps and erosions. Pregnant women with neurodermatitis - skin diseases that sometimes appear during pregnancy - will also have to give up swimming, including in the pool. As for the pleasures of the resort, perhaps you only need to limit yourself to the pleasure of sunbathing. This is caused by a number of serious reasons: exposure to active sun during the daytime can cause uterine bleeding; The load on the heart increases during pregnancy, and the woman runs the risk of getting sunstroke and even losing consciousness. Progresses under the influence of the sun varicose veins veins, enlarge age spots related to pregnancy. In general, during the hot months of summer, expectant mothers need to spend as little time as possible in the sun (before 11 and after 16-17 hours); during the day it is best to hide in the shade.

While on vacation, it is not recommended to experiment with unfamiliar and exotic products, as in case of poisoning, the risk of premature birth increases. The same goes for water: you only need to drink mineral water and refuse fruits and vegetables whose purity you are not sure of.

Walking is safer. During pregnancy, women should be wary not only of a specific type of transport, but also of fatigue from the road. Fatigue during a trip leads to lower back pain, cramps, and as a result, can cause premature birth. After seven months of pregnancy, it would be prudent to generally refrain from long trips on any form of transport. Traveling by plane during pregnancy is the least tiring option, but during takeoff and landing there is a sharp change in atmospheric pressure, which can cause vascular contraction and premature abruption of the placenta (for example, with low placental attachment). On an airplane, a pregnant woman is exposed to several harmful factors at once: noise, changes in atmospheric pressure, prolonged oxygen deficiency and vibration. Added to this are emotional stress, overloads during landing and takeoff, and in air pockets.

Traveling by car and bus involves a long stay in a forced position, traveling by rail is associated with vibration and motion sickness. If you nevertheless decide to travel by car, you need to sit either in the back seat or next to the driver, not forgetting about the seat belt, so that during sudden braking you do not hit your stomach on the dashboard. Place a pillow under your lower back to make it more comfortable. In case of motion sickness, it is worth taking with you anti-motion sickness remedies, for example, validol with or without glucose, mint tablets, lemon, homeopathic lozenges. It is better to consult your doctor about taking other medications. In your first aid kit you should also have no-shpa and suppositories with papaverine, which are good for stomach pain.

So if there are no contraindications, then you can go on vacation: you shouldn’t deprive yourself of positive emotions during this time.

The world is so arranged that, being in interesting position, the expectant mother definitely needs emotional release. And since there are warm weather ahead summer days, then the weather itself favors rest for the soul and body. There is absolutely no need to dwell on the fact that traveling is contraindicated for a pregnant woman. Remember that now you are not sick, but pregnant! And these are completely 2 different moments. It is important to consider that the main criterion for expectant mother is a competent selection of a vacation spot. That is why a competent approach and adherence to certain restrictions will help to prevent adverse consequences and receive a positive charge of energy, positive emotions and joy from relaxation.

When is it better for a pregnant woman to postpone travel?

  • Low position of the placenta (or in other words placenta previa). If a pregnant woman is diagnosed with this, she needs to be extremely careful. Any overexertion can cause bleeding due to a low-lying placenta.
  • Threat of miscarriage. With this diagnosis, doctors strongly recommend staying in bed and not worrying.
  • Preeclampsia. The main prerequisites for this disease: the results of the analysis reveal excessive protein content in the urine, increased blood pressure, and swelling of the limbs. Of course, if there are contraindications, there is no need to talk about the trip. Treatment of a pregnant woman is carried out exclusively under the supervision of the attending physician.
  • Exacerbation of chronic diseases during pregnancy. It is advisable to follow doctors’ orders and not travel outside the city unnecessarily.

If pregnancy does not cause you any trouble, there are no contraindications, then it’s time to think about choosing a country for your summer holiday.

Which summer vacation option should an expectant mother choose?

Among the great variety of offers from travel agencies, the expectant mother should not choose extreme trips, since a mistake in choosing a country for travel may cause the baby to be born in a foreign country or even while returning home. When choosing a vacation spot, pregnant women should pay great attention to the microclimate. The remaining points play a secondary role, it all depends on your mood and desire. Below is a list of countries where pregnant women are not recommended to travel.

Where pregnant women should not rest

Mexico, India. Since the heat in Mexico and India begins with the onset of fine weather spring days, then you must remember that on the train the air temperature will inevitably exceed 30 degrees. Of course, such loads can harm the baby.

Tunisia, Cuba, Türkiye, Egypt, UAE. Increased air humidity and, as stated above, high temperature.

Africa, Brazil and other exotic countries. No matter how much you dream, being in an interesting position, to travel to such countries, then at the moment it is better to refuse it. The severity of the flight, the tedious heat, the presence of transfers, all this can have a detrimental effect on your health and the health of your unborn baby. Since traveling to such countries requires mandatory vaccinations, which, in turn, are contraindicated for a pregnant woman, now is not the time for such travel. For example, staying in Africa will require you to take anti-malarial drugs, and you will also need to be vaccinated against yellow fever.

Mountainous areas. Mountains are not the best good place rest for the expectant mother. At high altitudes you may experience difficulty breathing and lack of oxygen. Such a vacation will not benefit either you or your baby.

Countries where you can spend time usefully and not be afraid of harming your baby

The favorable climatic conditions of the Crimean peninsula will benefit both mother and baby. In addition, you can enjoy fruit in moderation. There is no need to worry that not knowing the language will somehow ruin your holiday. Many people here also speak Russian. Countries such as France, Croatia, Switzerland and other European countries can also be a wonderful holiday destination.

The benefits of the sea and sun for the expectant mother

Having chosen a suitable country for travel and overcome all the difficulties of the flight, you finally find yourself on the seashore. Sea water is a real storehouse of microelements and swimming as a health procedure has a positive effect on the health of the expectant mother. And since in the background hormonal changes mood swings occur in a woman’s body (sometimes positive emotions, then on the contrary, tears), water will give a “tired” woman the lightness of weightlessness and peace of mind. As for tanning, it is recommended to stick to correct mode– sunbathe before 10 o’clock and only after 17.00. Since the most important thing for a pregnant woman is the health of her baby, following these simple recommendations will allow you to have a good rest and recuperate before the upcoming birth.
