In Thailand, pregnant: can I go on vacation?

Is it dangerous to be pregnant in Thailand? This question is asked by many couples who have already bought vouchers or have plans to change the dank winter to a sunny beach. We'll have to disappoint, there are a number of risks for the health of mom and baby.

Dangers in a heavenly place

Let's start with the flight. Many airlines refuse services to passengers in an interesting position at a later date, sometimes even with a certificate-permission, worrying about safety for the fetus. Whether it is possible to fly with pregnancy on early terms in Thailand, the obstetrician-gynecologist observing the patient will prompt, but to solve as a result and to incur all responsibility it is necessary to the woman.

Further acclimatization and changing the situation. High humidity, stuffiness, heat, unusual surroundings are hard to tolerate by ordinary people, what to say about pregnant women, who have all the senses exacerbated to the limit! Food poisoning, malaise, infection, difficult conditions for pregnant women are contraindicated, because together with her mother will take the medicine and the baby, from whom only everything is pawned and formed.

Medical aspect. Pregnant women in Thailand, of course, are seen by the doctor in the hospital, do the necessary screening and ultrasound, give birth to babies. All this is paid for by special insurance (when you are about to fly a pregnant woman in Thailand, it must be registered) or in cash at the cash register. Often the medical staff speaks fluent English, often with Russian translators. Will the future mother clearly explain the interpreter her feelings, and the translator to bring it to the doctor - an open question.

However, it happens that the Russian resort is served byonly in one institution (this is due to the presence of an interpreter, insurance points), and more often this is an analogue of a trauma center. It is clear that pregnant women in such a place will feel uncomfortable and will not get proper attention.

It should also be noted that the Russian approachto the management of pregnancy differs in the direction of greater care and anxiety on many occasions, whereas in Thailand the European system is prevalent. There, up to 20 weeks, the fruit is a biomaterial, not a baby, a calm attitude towards bleeding, hypertension, a greater concern for the health of the mother than the child.

Thailand is a beautiful country: rest in it, gain strength and recharge positive before pregnancy, or try to conceive a child on an energetic rise in a romantic atmosphere, and a happy nine months is better spent in a familiar and safe environment!
