I had no idea how brutal traveling during the first trimester of pregnancy would be. Here's how I got through nausea, fatigue, and more.
Traveling in the first trimester was harder than I imagined, even with all the right tools. A nausea kit, flexible mindset, and supportive shoes saved me. Travel doesn't have to be canceled in pregnancy, but it does require smarter planning. When I saw those two pink lines pop up, my first thought wasn't baby names — it was: Oh no, I have so much travel coming up. As a travel writer, there are some months when I'm on the road more than at home. When I took the test, I had six trips planned and more in the works, and I needed to be on my game, but nothing prepared me for how brutal the first trimester would be. I was quickly humbled when, at seven weeks pregnant, I hopped on a seemingly easy 4.5-hour flight to Aruba. The nausea, bone-deep fatigue, and sensory overload made it feel more like a blur of motion sickness and mental math: Where's the nearest bathroom? What can I eat that won't make me sick? How long until I can nap? As someone whose identity is rooted in movement and independence, I feared pregnancy might derail my career — or worse, my sense of self. But instead, this trip taught me that travel didn't have to stop. I just had to change how I do it. After a lot of research, these seven things helped me survive traveling during the first trimester and beyond. Book an aisle seat I used to be a window-seat loyalist, but the constant need to pee and waves of nausea don't mix well with being trapped behind a sleeping seatmate. Now, I book aisle seats for the freedom to get up and use the bathroom as often as I need to, stretch, or escape the smell of someone's airport sandwich. Tell travel companions early to ease anxiety Outdated advice says to wait until 12 weeks to tell people, but I was struggling, so I told my fellow travelers (even before some of my family) and immediately felt relieved. Instead of pushing through silently, I had a built-in cheer squad. They hyped me up, celebrated with me, and gave me detailed reviews of all the Aruban wine and ceviche that I could only stare at longingly. Pack a 'nausea kit' and keep it within arm's reach Pregnancy nausea has no sense of timing.

By continuing you agree that you accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . I carried a self-made "nausea kit" everywhere: sour candies (green apple Preggie Pop Drops saved me), all-natural Dramamine, a menthol inhaler, anti-nausea wristbands, and yes — travel barf bags. I didn't use the bags because the other tools worked, but having them eased my anxiety. Stop pretending you're not exhausted I tried to keep up with the group even though I was crashing. Eventually, I let go of the pressure to be "on" and participated in core activities, but rested when I could — even if that meant skipping the beach, pool, or happy hour. It helped that I had already shared that I was pregnant. I didn't feel worried that the group thought I was antisocial, and I could nap without worrying that I was missing out on finding my next story angle. FOMO is real, but staying healthy for yourself and your growing baby is more important. Check menus and don't skip the snack stash Before heading out to meals, I checked menus online to see what I would tolerate best and what checked off all the pregnancy-safe boxes. I also kept a stash of pregnancy-safe snacks in my bag — granola bars, pretzels, Saltines, and dried edamame for protein — in case I couldn't eat anything on the menu or got hungry outside mealtime. Luckily, Aruba's tap water is totally safe, which also gave me peace of mind. If you have the option, you may want to consider food safety when choosing travel locales in early pregnancy since you're already feeling sick enough. Wear the right shoes, even if they're ugly Your body is already working overtime — now's not the time to break in new sandals or suffer through long walks in unsupportive flats. After day one, which ended in very swollen feet, I swapped style for Dr. Scholl's sneakers and left all the cute pairs of shoes I'd brought with the best intentions in my suitcase. Experiment to find what works for you, but try not to overpack I packed extra books to read during downtime, but napped during every free moment. The mosquito-repellent bands I brought gave me headaches, and I didn't see one mosquito on the entire island. My pregnancy pillow took up half the suitcase and never left it. Try things out at home first to see if it's worth it. And remember: You're not prepping for Everest (that is, unless you are!). You're just trying to get through TSA or a long car ride without throwing up. First-trimester travel is gritty, humbling, and full of trial and error. But it also showed me I'm more adaptable than I thought. I'm not losing my identity as a traveler. I'm expanding it. And that feels like the best kind of preparation for what's ahead.

Letters to the Editor: Readers have mixed feelings about what it means to have an American pope
To the editor: It would be difficult not to find columnist Gustavo Arellano's observations and suggestions authentic, accurate and admirable ('In the election of Pope Leo XIV, a call for Americans to be great again,' May 10). How much Dramamine did Vice President JD Vance need after reading it? Ted Rosenblatt, Hancock Park .. To the editor: Many readers will applaud Arellano's opinion piece. It is indeed inspirational. But, as often happens with these inspirational pieces, the writer gets carried away in places. For example, he gushes that the U.S. remains 'the greatest country on Earth." Oh, really? Does military-economic hegemony add up to the greatest? The U.S. is a great nation and offers opportunity to many immigrants. But when factors like healthcare satisfaction and infant mortality are considered, we don't rate so highly. Juan Bernal, Santa Ana .. To the editor: Arellano, rather than merely express his elation over the election of Pope Leo XIV as the first American pope, manipulates the occasion to submit another polemic against President Trump. Realistically, Robert Francis Prevost's election as Pope Leo has nothing to do with his charitable virtues and 'peace of the risen Christ.' It has everything to do with political motivations. The Catholic Church has always been immersed in politics, which have constantly been its guiding light. Giuseppe Mirelli, Los Angeles .. To the editor: Thank you for your beautiful article about our new pope. For months, the citizens of America have lived in darkness experiencing the vindictive hatred the president has for the poor, underprivileged and foreign born. As we see on Easter Vigil, the light of Christ resurrected eliminates the darkness. I finally have hope for my country. Joan Andersen, Apple Valley .. To the editor: In his column about the newly elected pope, Arellano writes, 'I'm not sure how many of us — Catholic or not — will heed Pope Leo's invitation to embrace peace and reflect on what we can do to better us all.' I have a question for Arellano: Will he also heed the pope's teachings on abortion, homosexuality, traditional marriage and gender ideology? I'd be willing to bet my mortgage that he won't.
