Health Tip: Travelling by airduring pregnancy

Flying is safe for most healthy women who arepregnant, the American Congress of Obstetriciansand Gynecologists (ACOG) says, although someairlines have restrictions during the last month ofpregnancy.

The ACOG offers these general suggestions forpregnant women who travel by plane:

* Try to reserve an aisle seat, so you can get up and stretch your legs during a long trip.

* Don’t drink carbonated beverages or eat foods that cause gas before you fly.

* Always wear your seatbelt on the flight, with the belt beneath your belly.

* Ask your doctor about anti-nausea medication if you tend to feel sick during flights.—Internet

Three Maine students who launched a message in a bottle in 2008 hoped itwould make it all the way to Europe. It didn’t make it to the mainland, but it madeit as far as the Azores, a Portuguese archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean.

Flood’s dad and her uncle agreed to dropbottles into the water off the Bahamas in March 2008 while setting weatherbuoys.

Cheryl McFadden at the Adams School in Castine said the idea was to seeif the Gulf Stream would take the bottles to Europe. The bottle travelled about3,000 miles.
