(HealthDayNews) -- If you're pregnant and planning a vacation, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests you take along a tailor-made pregnancy health kit.
Here are some items to include:
- Talcum powder, a thermometer, oral rehydration packets, multivitamins, an antifungal agent for vaginal yeast, and acetaminophen.
- If you're in your third trimester, you may want to carry a blood pressure cuff and urine dips to check for proteinuria and glucosuria, both of which would need medical attention.
- Check with your doctor before taking any anti-malarial or anti-diarrheal medication.
