Second trimester: traveling.

Oh yeah! I am pregnant and I have an opportunity to see the world, so I'll take it! My husband had a conference in Germany and then it turned out that his uncle planned a trip to Spain and had invited us to join and then there was my family in Ukraine to visit, so - yay for adventures!
July 10, Germany.

Pregnancy and traveling... Do they go together? Yes, if you are generally healthy and have been having a healthy pregnancy. I asked different doctors if it was safe to travel during the second trimester and not one of them thought twice before saying: "Yes".
Doctors will:

  1. make sure that you don't miss any important tests;
  2.  give you all your medical history (just in case something happens during your travels and you'll need to go to the hospital);
  3. tell you to move and stretch every 4 hours when you are traveling - no matter if you travel in a car or on an airplane - to prevent blood clots.
Well, I can't speak universally. That was what happened to me and I am just sharing my experience here.

Actually, second trimester is the best trimester to travel. I was so happy that our travels coincided so nicely with that time of my pregnancy. Lucky!!!

Travels in Germany.
Delicious desserts, lots of coffee places, friendly atmosphere. I loved visiting Germany.

My little baby bump is showing ;).

Exploring German mansions.
 Our travels in Spain.
Dali. I loved his paintings.



Spanish ham is very famous. 

Aqueduct. Segovia. 

Near Santiago de Compostela.

In the restaurant.
In Ukraine we mostly stayed with my family, so there are no cool pictures. Till the next time ;).
