I am thinking of going to the Bahamas. Is it risky to travel at a few weeks pregnant?

It is generally not recommended to travel during the early stages of pregnancy due to the potential risks involved, such as developing blood clots. Factors such as being immobile for long periods, as commonly happens during flights, can increase these risks. Additionally, the specific destination can also impact the level of risk, as certain areas may have health concerns like the Zika virus. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before making any travel plans while pregnant to ensure the safety and well-being of both the mother and the baby.
