This might seem daunting at first but there are lots of ways you can make sure you're fully prepared to venture out during your pregnancy. These tips may help:

Morning sickness - carry a few plastic bags in your purse at all times - just in case - and a small stock of the food and drink items that soothe your nausea.

Overheating - when you are pregnant your body can't lose heat as efficiently and overheating can potentially cause problems. So wear layers that you can take off to help control your temperature.

Sunburn - due to hormone changes your skin can be more sensitive to the sun than normal so wear sunscreen and, whenever possible, stay in the shade.

Footwear - if you know you're going to be on your feet wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes as feet swell and legs ache in the later months.

Spa treatments - saunas and Jacuzzis are not safe for pregnant women.

Washrooms - as your pregnancy progresses you'll be increasingly reliant on public restrooms. Go whenever you have the opportunity.

Travel Abroad - some vaccinations aren't safe in pregnancy so check with your healthcare professional. Avoid countries with malaria i.e. India, Africa and Central and South America. Drink bottled water and avoid ice cubes. Be cautious about eating salad you haven't prepared yourself.

Out for the day - carry your healthcare professional's telephone number with you in the final months. If your water breaks when you are out and about call immediately.
