2. A doctor a day

2.每天看一次醫生

Before you travel, visit your doctor. Depending on your proposed destination, you may need special medication or even vaccination. Where possible, avoid traveling to areas where inoculation is necessary, as there is always a slight risk of the serum harming your unborn baby.

在你旅行之前，去看一下醫生。取決於你想要去的目的地，你或許需要一些特殊的藥物甚至疫苗。如果可能的話，不要去那些非得注射疫苗的地方旅遊，因爲那裏總是會有一些血液疾病的危險，可能會傷害你未出生的孩子。

If you are on a trip that will take five hours or more, drink a lot of water and take short walks every thirty minutes to reduce the risk of developing intravenous blood clots, a condition that is known as Deep Vein Thrombosis. Where necessary, buy orthopedic stockings to keep your legs and feet from swelling.

如果你出去旅行，可能會花費五個小時或者更長時間，要多喝水，而且每30分鐘就要稍微步行一下，來減輕靜脈血栓的風險，靜脈血塊又叫做深靜脈血栓。有必要的話，可以買一些醫療襪來保護你的腿和腳，以免腫脹。

Starting from the twenty-eighth week of pregnancy, most airlines will ask for a letter from your doctor confirming that you are fit enough to travel. You should shelve any travel plans that you may have starting from the thirty-seventh week, thirty four for twins, because of the vastly increased probability of going into labor.

從你孕期的第28周開始，大部分航空公司就會要求你出示你的醫生確認你適合航空旅行的證明。在你懷孕37周的時候，你就需要擱置所有旅行計劃了，如果你懷的是雙胞胎，那在34周的時候，就不應該出去旅行了，因爲你即將要生孩子的可能性會越來越大。

3. Insured's assured

3.確認保險

Get adequate travel insurance before you start packing your bags. This will guarantee that you have enough money for evacuation, treatment and even premature birth. Apart from the costs of changing the date of your return flight, travel insurance also covers loss, theft and damage to your property.

當你開始整理行李的時候，要獲得足夠的旅行保險，這能保證你有足夠的錢來緊急撤離，治療，甚至是早產。除了你變更返程航班日期的花費，旅行保險也可以保障你的財產損失，失竊和任何破壞。
