Being pregnant in Honduras!
My Husband and I are talking about TTC. I go to the gyno for my regular yearly exam next monday. What are some things I should know before I go. Or things that I should ask her?
One other thing is in July we are going on our second missionary trip to Honduras. We stay in an "Americanized" hotel, clean water, food etc. But is it safe for me to be pregnant when we go? (I understand that it might take us longer to get pregnant but i am just trying to cover all bases.)
We will be gone for 2 weeks.
Thanks so much!
Re: Being pregnant in Honduras!
*snicker*
OP, ask your doctor.
Wait, wait, wait...
You and your H are talking about TTC. Not even actually TTC, just talking about it. You are not pregnant yet. And yet you are worried about the possibility that if, just if you are pregnant in July, will it be safe? And you are only going to be there for two weeks?
I think you should probably hold off on TTC, probably not the best idea to reproduce....ever.
First of all. There population is not low.... and second of all I guess everyone woke up in a bitchy mood this morning. Like I said I go to the gyno on Monday. So therefore we are just talking about TTC. I dont know what the big deal is. We are going to start after I go to the dr.
I was just wondering if there would be any harm to go to Honduras if I did get pregnant before then.
FIrst off, you're on the wrong board. This is SEX AND ROMANCE not GETTING PREGNANT. Ask those girls and ask your doctor.
Plus, your doctor will probably tell you to take prenatal vitamins three months before you even TTC to build up your folic acid and other vitamins. And you'll probably not want to be pregnant (with morning sickness) and on a mission trip in hot, hot July.
Pics or it didn't happen.
Well, gee thanks for clearing that up.
You should not travel any where when you are pregnant. You should stay home and not leave the house. There are germs everywhere.
Ok...pipe down everybody...
The only concern I would have about being pregnant in a foreign country is the negative effects you might experience from a food-borne infection. People who grow up in a region are acclimated to the bacteria etc. present in the food and the water in that area. Even while being very careful, you could get exposed to bacteria that your system is not used to and you could have a strong bout of food poisoning. My FI travelled to India a couple of years ago with his team from work and half of them got a stomach bug -- and they were all staying in a very nice hotel and were very careful about food, drinking and even teeth brushing.
A heavy bout of intestinal distress might adversely affect your pregnancy. I personally would wait to conceive until after the trip...take my vitamins, get uber healthy and then try in August. But that is merely my opinion.
this!
Like PPs said, this is the wrong board for this question, but I will point out 2 things.
1. If you're considering going to Honduras while PG, get all of your travel vaccines before you start trying. Some travel vaccines are not safe during pregnancy.
2. Some Dr.s don't recommend air travel during the 3rd trimester. I guess you'd have to get PG on the first try basicially to be in 3rd tri by July, but it's something to consider.
These are all things your Dr. should discuss with you.

This. Love, women give birth in Honduras all.the.time. It's not as if someone's asking you to give birth in a latrine. It will be okay.
Rude, IGNORE HER
I think you will be fine..Best of luck on your ttc journey!
Thank you so much. We are thinking we will try once we get back. I have gotten off BC now this is my 2nd period since after BC. (Forgot how horrible that was) but i have been taking prenatal vitamins as well. Thank you (All those who were'nt absolutely rude..... yes i understand I posted in the wrong board. But get over it I am new.
Thanks!!
Stop worrying yourself into a dither. Excessive worry is destructive to your's and a child's health.
Surprise DH by getting a brazillian and boff his brains out.
Sometime in the 6th to 10th week, when your boobs are bigger and your tummy still flat. Take some photos, you may not ever look that "good" again.
