In this section, we invite you to share your opinions and experiences.  MOST of what we know about pregnancy and travel has been gleaned from pregnant travelers like yourself.  Even what is published in medical journals required that someone who was pregnant allowed themselves to be surveyed, watched or experimented on.  If we are ever going to have more information on this subject, therefore, it means that pregnant travelers will need to continue to share their information with us.

Because the wrong medical information can be life-threatening, this is a moderated forum.  That means that what you send for posting will be read before it is posted.  We will try to do as little "editing" as possible.  If need be, we may add a cautionary note to what you say.  Or we may "change the names to protect the innocent".  But we will do our best to honestly represent what you have to say.

We ask you, therefore, to be courteous and sensitive in your remarks.  But be honest.  We really want to provide the best possible advice for our subscribers.  If you ask us to, we may post your e-mail anonymously, but we ask you to provide us with your true name, e-mail address and location when you write.  What you have to say is important; otherwise you wouldn't be saying it.  We need a way to contact you for follow-up in order to help our other subscribers.

The forum is divided into two sections.  In the first, your comments are listed by subject.  In the second, they are listed by the country to which they refer.  As you know, this is not always an easy distinction to make.  If you don't find what you need in one section, therefore, we encourage you to try the other.
