During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the number of students returning home, migrant workers returning home and visiting relatives increased significantly. Spring Festival travel rush's rush hour traffic volume increases, and the accident probability is higher than usual. Therefore, special attention should be paid to personal safety to prevent accidents. Pregnant women, as special protectors, must know the precautions during peak travel in Spring Festival travel rush before going out, so as to nip in the bud.
Preparation before travel
1. Never travel alone:
If you are pregnant, it is best not to travel alone, but to be accompanied by your husband or friends. The purpose of doing this is to prevent accidents. Although this situation will be relatively stable in the second trimester, accidents cannot be ruled out. With someone around, pregnant women will feel safe, relaxed and happy physically and mentally, and can also help in the event of an accident.
2. It is not advisable to travel in the following situations:
In the first three months of pregnancy, on the one hand, because the placenta is not yet mature, the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall is not tight, on the other hand, the progesterone secretion is insufficient, which can not give the embryo strong maintenance. Traveling at this time is easy to cause miscarriage.
Twenty-eight weeks of pregnancy is a late pregnancy, so it is recommended not to travel far away for the time being, because taking a long-distance bus or train may cause uterine contraction and premature delivery. On June 365438+1October 3 1 day, a premature birth occurred on the D23 18 train from Shenzhen North to Xiamen North. Although the mother and daughter survived safely in the end, this situation is extremely risky, and other pregnant women should not take risks. Even if there is no premature birth during the trip, pregnant women feel uncomfortable during the trip, which will also affect the activities of other tourists. Or pregnant women need to rest on the way, and the car will not stop there, which is not good for physical and mental health. It is recommended to travel another day after production.
3. Clever choice of transportation:
Try to take a smooth and spacious means of transportation with toilet facilities, such as trains and ships. No matter which means of transportation you choose, you need to book tickets in advance. During the rush hour in Spring Festival travel rush, "one ticket is hard to find", so don't buy a ticket temporarily before going out, and even choose to stand on your own! This is not only easy to cause great harm to pregnant women's health, but also extremely affects pregnant women's travel mood. Prepare early and choose the most comfortable and simple way to travel.
4. It is necessary to check before the trip:
The purpose of prenatal examination is to see whether the baby is healthy and suitable for traveling according to the doctor's advice, and to take necessary drugs according to the existing situation to ensure that the trip is foolproof.
5. Items to be prepared before going out:
Drugs: Before you leave, please ask your obstetrician to prepare some safe drugs for you according to your actual situation. In addition, prepare some antidiarrheal drugs that are safe for pregnancy, oral gastrointestinal drugs and external alcohol cotton pads, antiemetic drugs, iodine, trauma ointment, mosquito bite ointment, vitamin health care drugs, etc.
Information and documents of pregnant women: a manual for prenatal examination of pregnant women and a health card are necessary. The contact information of hospitals and doctors who usually have prenatal examinations should also be recorded so as to contact their own doctors when necessary. At the same time, because some airlines require pregnant women to provide letters from doctors to prove that they are not worried about flying, or that the number of weeks of pregnancy (airlines do not accept pregnant women who are pregnant for more than 36 weeks) is the basis for allowing them to fly, these letters or certificates should also be carried with them.
Sanitary products: expectant mothers should also prepare sanitary products needed by pregnant women, including elastic socks, abdominal belts, pads, disinfectant spray that can clean public toilet seats, etc. You'd better prepare a pair of slippers to free your feet.
Travel notes
1. By car
Choosing a car for a long journey is the best policy, because bumpy journey is the first factor leading to abortion. When traveling short distances, you must learn to use your seat belt correctly (tied to your lower abdomen). You can bring your own comfortable and soft cushion to lean on your lower back, straighten your legs as much as possible, and do leg exercises regularly to promote blood circulation and prevent the placenta from falling off prematurely due to bumps.
When family members travel by car together, drivers should avoid emergency braking and emergency steering, because such a strong impact may scare pregnant women, and the speed should not be too fast. The air conditioner in the car is most comfortable at 26℃. Pregnant women can get off and walk around and do stretching exercises in the service area, but they still need to pay attention to safety. During the rush hour in Spring Festival travel rush, there are many traffic jams and accidents, so pregnant women had better not drive by themselves.
In order to avoid being hungry at night, you have to eat greasy and heartbreaking food, or go to the vending machine at the gas station to buy food, which is not good for your health and your baby's health. You'd better bring some food and water yourself.
Take the train
If you are sitting in a hard seat, you'd better prepare a pillow to pad your neck in advance. If you need to spend the night or travel for a long time, it is definitely worthwhile to book a sleeper. It is best to book a lower berth to facilitate activities. Pregnant women should take a bottle of water by train and prepare some food (especially fresh fruits and vegetables) by themselves. You can walk with your family on the train, but the aisle is narrow, so you should always pay attention to avoid collision.
fly
Pregnant women need to sit for a long time by plane, which may make your feet and ankles swell and your legs cramp. Try to choose an aisle seat, so that you can stand in the aisle and do simple stretching exercises to keep the blood circulation smooth. You can sit or stand, first stretch your legs and heels, and then gently hook your feet to stretch your calf muscles. When sitting, you can turn your ankles and twist your toes to relieve fatigue and discomfort.
Go on a cruise
Cruise ships will be very comfortable, especially those newer routes. When you make a reservation, don't forget to book a big one if you can, especially when you are traveling with your husband. You can ask the service staff for more pillows and blankets after boarding the ship.
Fortunately, during the voyage, you may find many ways to exercise. Many cruise ships offer group or individual sports, such as walking on the deck in the morning, swimming, exercise bike, yoga, and even strength training in the gym on board.
What should I do in case of emergency?
1. Sudden traffic accident
If there is an unfortunate traffic accident during the trip, don't panic, listen to the instructions of the staff and withdraw from the scene of the accident cautiously and orderly. Even if the pregnant woman is not injured, it is best to go to the nearest hospital for examination. If they have abdominal pain or bleeding, they should go to the emergency room for examination and treatment immediately. It also happens from time to time. There is no problem with the fetus on the day of the accident, and the fetal movement stops the next day. Therefore, we should always pay attention to the situation of the fetus within one week after the accident, and ultrasonic examination can effectively find out whether the fetus will be abnormal within 3 ~ 7 days after the accident.
2. Sudden abdominal pain, feeling of falling.
If it appears in the early pregnancy, you should be careful of miscarriage. If it appears in the middle and late pregnancy, it is an abnormal signal of abortion, premature delivery, ectopic pregnancy and placental abruption. Upon discovery, the traffic staff shall be informed in time, and the situation shall be reported in detail, and emergency measures shall be taken. Stop the trip immediately and go to the hospital for examination, especially periodic severe pain is a very dangerous sign.
3. Sudden dizziness
Blood pressure fluctuates greatly in the first trimester, because a large part of the nutrients ingested by pregnant women are delivered to the fetus, and the fatigue of the journey and the lack of ventilation sometimes lead to temporary hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemic vertigo often occurs when you suddenly get up or have an empty stomach. When temporary dizziness occurs, you should open the window or go to an open place to speed up indoor air circulation and lie on your side. When you feel dizzy, sit down immediately and bow your head deeply. Accelerating blood flow back to your brain can also relieve dizziness.
The above is the travel guide for pregnant women during their stay in Spring Festival travel rush. I remind you that no matter what happens, it is most important to keep a clear head and avoid panic. When checking in or waiting for a flight, don't mix with the crowd, travel in advance, and don't compete and crowd with others. In case of abdominal pain, bleeding, etc. You must stop traveling in real time and seek medical treatment immediately. In case of pregnancy-related accidents, such as abortion, premature delivery, pregnancy complications, etc. The accompanying family members can ask the obstetrician to help contact the local medical institution and decide whether to stay in the local area or go back to the local area for treatment according to the condition. In addition, if you have an accident while traveling abroad, your family can ask the health institution or diplomatic authorities for assistance in handling the punishment.
