Travel first aid kit during pregnancy - you should have it with you

If you are traveling during your pregnancy, a travel pharmacy should not be missing. We'll show you which medications should be at hand.

First aid kit: you should have this with you during pregnancy

The following medicines are part of the basic equipment of a first-aid kit:

• As a pregnant woman, you provide your body with a unit of magnesium every day even when you are traveling. Take a sufficient amount in tablet or powder form with you.
• Folic acid is also important. The tablets are also rich in iodine, vitamins B12 and D3 and promote the healthy development of your child.
• Anti-nausea medications should also end up in your first aid kit. We recommend mint oil and Vomex A coated tablets.
• Paracetamol for pain or fever is controversial. Therefore, ask your doctor about his opinion in your individual pregnancy.
• Thrombosis stockings can also be helpful to you, as it can be annoying on the way to your destination and sometimes painful water retention in your legs.
• In the event of a cold, fill your first aid kit with nasal spray, eye drops and cough drops.
• Circulatory problems are also part of the everyday complaints of a pregnant woman: It is therefore important to have glucose on hand.
• See your doctor before you travel and discuss in detail which medicines you can and should have available.
