Kingman CE et al (2003) describes a study in 138 pregnant women. This study showed that long-distance travel is common in pregnancy, and women are not always adequately prepared in terms of insurance and travel advice. Interestingly, half had traveled abroad in this pregnancy, more than one third of the women traveled without sufficient insurance, and only one third sought advice prior to travel.
