Being pregnant and flying at the same time can be a humongous challenge especially for business women. Combine your pregnancy and the daily stress of running a business, and there is every possibility to feel woozy and tired especially on a long haul flight. However, you can still enjoy your time in the air whether to Tinapa in Calabar or to Dubai in the Middle East, that is if you follow these tips rolled out by Jovago.

Do a bit of research on the airline

Only a few airlines, if any, will espouse women giving birth during a flight. Even if it happens, it will be out of goodwill for the airline to attend to the women. This makes it essential for pregnant women to do a research before selecting a particular airline. Of most airlines, will not allow pregnant women to fly while for others, you need to present a doctor’s report before they are allowed on board. It will be a horrible experience if you are prevented from flying because you are pregnant.preg2
