Is Travelling Safe During The First Trimister Of Pregnancy?
I am 9 weeks pregnant and am planning a vacation in the next couple weeks ... I was thinking of going to Costa Rica , Argentina or Columbia but I know last year the Zika virus was a big thing for pregnant woman and not sure if it s still relevant or even safe to travel. I forgot to ask my doctor today but the nurse said no not to travel anywhere outside of the US but not sure because she is a bit of a pain so not sure, would rather have a doctors opinion.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Travelling is safe in first trimester you can even fly during your first trimester. However travelling to an endemic place with viral outbreak is not safe and is not recommended. So you can travel to a safe destination with out any concerns.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
