TRAVELLING DURING PREGNANCY

The best time for a holiday is between the fifth and seventh month of pregnancy.

In many countries medical care is not as good as in Germany. The nearest physician or hospital is often far away or difficult to reach.

Please consider this: a baby born prematurely, i.e. around the 27th week, has a very good chance for survival when born in Germany. This is not the case in all countries!

Also: it is important to have your prenatal passport with you when outside of Germany. This way the physician treating you can get information about your pregnancy quickly and accurately.
