Direct guidance
What to know or do
Use safe fluids and contact local care or your maternity team for worsening symptoms. Do not self-treat with leftover antibiotics, anti-diarrhoeal medicine or an unfamiliar remedy without checking the exact product.
What changes the answer
- Destination, pregnancy week, journey length and distance from maternity care
- Infection, altitude, heat, food, water and blood-clot risks for that trip
- Current symptoms, pregnancy complications, insurance and transport restrictions
Check with your care team
When to get individual help
Contact your doctor or maternity service promptly and describe the timing, severity, associated symptoms and pregnancy week so they can choose the right assessment.
