Many patients wonder if it’s safe to travel during pregnancy. What should obstetric care professionals be advising? This episode provides guidance on counseling patients who plan to travel during pregnancy, covering health risks such as emerging vector-borne diseases like Oropouche and dengue, potential travel-related complications, and how to recognize and manage symptoms that may develop after travel. Sarah Dotters-Katz, MD, MMHPE, FACOG, associate professor and the director of undergraduate medical education for the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Duke University, and Lorrie Harris-Sagaribay, MPH, teratogen information specialist with MotherToBaby and president of the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists, join Labor of Love host Veronica Pimentel, MD, MS, FACOG, to answer key questions and provide expert guidance.
