Voilà... Grande question...
Je me lance pour bb3, sans être sûre que ça "prenne" en temps voulu. Plus je repousse les travaux pratique, plus ça me pose problème (au niveau calcule de mes droits au congé prental)...
Et j'ai un voyage super important à faire, un voyage éclair, de 15 jours, à Varanasi, chez des amis. Si une grossesse arrive dès l'arrêt de contraceptif, je serais enceinte de 3 mois. Bon. Cela semble t-il inconscient ? Ou encore un peu raisonnable ?
Ça paraît bête, mais je ne me rends pas compte.
Je me dis que ce qui doit arriver arrivera... Peut-être ne serais-je pas enceinte avant des mois et des mois d'essais.
Si quelqu'un connait ce genre de situation,
je vous lirais avec plaisir !
hallo (desolee pour le message vide, j'avais deja ecris une reponse mais quelques soucis pour l'envoyer!)
Il nous ait arrive le meme genre d'histoire;en janvier 2002, nous avions prevu u voyage d'un peu plus de 3 mois pour l'Inde.En novembre, j'arrete la pillule en me disant que ca va "prendre" quelques mois.Debut janvier, j'etais deja enceinte d'un mois!!!
Hors de questions d'annuler le voyage, je suis super heureuse et j'adore l'Inde, mon bebe en profitera aussi!
Les Indiens sont (encore plus) charmants avec les femmes enceintes et te "predisent" tous un garcon.
Pour les questions pratiques;puisque tu pars peu de temps, les examens et l'avion ne devraient poser de problemes. Il faut peut etre faire un peu plus attentin a ce que tu manges(personnellemnt, j'ai eu du mal a resister aux salades composee et sauce mayonnaise, mais personne n'est parfait!).Sinon, je te conseille d'aller dans la recherche des messages.
Par contre, ayant plusieurs fois voyage en Inde, j'ai pu remarquer que j'etais pus sensible a ce que je voyais et Varanasi ne manque pas d'images fortes.Mais comme c'est ta troisieme grossesse, j'imagine que tu sais a quoi t'attendre au niveau de tes emotions.Et puis tes amis seront a tes cotes.
je n'ai qu'une suggestion : prévoit des bas de contention (prescriptible par ton médecin) pour l'avion. le risq de phlébite est plus important pendant une grossesse avec 15h et quelques d'avion qui est déjà un facteur de risq important pour n'importe qui.
fais attention si tu prend de la prophilaxie (vaccin, savarine). je dis ça sans savoir. si tu dois te faire vacciner contre qqch essaie de le faire avant d'être enceinte. pour 15jours à moins que ce soit la mousson je ne vois pas l'intérêt de se rendre malade dans ton cas.
sinon effectivement fais attention à ne pas te faire même de petite blessure et attention à ce que tu manges
j'espère que tu n'as pas trop le ventre retourné au 3ème mois.
je vous souhaite beaucoup de bonheur avec le futur nouveau venu qui sera certainement un garçon lol😛
Merci... Mais non, pas de garçon, si je peux choisir.
J'en ai trop à la maison 😛 !
Ceci dit, si c'est encore un boy, on ne le jettera pas 😄😉
Pour les vaccins, oui, tout sera fait avant.
Le palud... je me tâte de prendre ou non le traitement.
Les bas de contention, je note, c'est prévu en cas de grossesse.
Je m'inquiète des rickshaws. Difficile à éviter pour les déplacements, et question vibration, ça craint 🏴☠️.
A moins que j'use du taxi (voiture) mais je ne sais pas si c'est possible à Varanasi et à quel prix...
Je suis "tombée" enceinte à Trivandrum ( eh oui j'ai un petit gars made in india!!) et ne le sachant pas, j'ai continué à barouder et à manger épicé.
On sait que tout peut malheureusement arriver les 3 premiers mois. Alors à mon avis ne n'inquiète pas. Et comme tu dis, ce qui doit arriver, arrivera.
Bon voyage

les indiens non plus ne prennent pas le risque de faire des bébés dans leurs pays !!! trop de risques !!!
là bas, dans leur pays, il est totalement impossible de médicaliser les actes naturelles ! et de plus il est totalement impossible d'avoir le luxe pour le prix d'une baguette de pain en Europe !!!
Chacun a raison de son propre point de vue, mais il n'est pas impossible que tout le monde ait tort.
comment ils font pour être plus d'un milliard d'habitants !
Je connais bon nombre d'enfants "blancs" faits et nés là-bas dans d'excellentes conditions (en ce qui concerne la naissance ! le reste je sais pas).
Il suffit d'avoir le même bon sens que chez soi, est-ce qu'on irait faire du saut à l'élastique enceinte de 3 mois ? Quand aux indiennes, elles ne s'arrêtent pas de manger épicé quand elles sont enceintes ! les bébés sont même sevrés aux curry quand ils lachent le sein ou le bib.
Pas de paranoia et les même règles et précautions que par chez nous, avec un petit plus pour l'hygiène, pour ne pas s'affaiblir en cas de dysentrie.
Sinon programmer le bébé pour 3 mois plus tard, ou faire un départ différé, comme le lave-vaisselle, pour le faire tourner en heures creuses...
Voilà ce qui arrive maintenant qu'on a le pouvoir de faire les bébés pour qu'ils naissent après le réveillon mais avant les congés, ou le mariage de la meilleure copine...
Voilà ce qui arrive maintenant qu'on a le pouvoir de faire les bébés pour qu'ils naissent après le réveillon mais avant les congés, ou le mariage de la meilleure copine...
Bof... Je ne me vois pas si futile. Mon calcul c'est parce que j'arrive à la limite des droits au congé parental. Et la possibilité de ne pas travailler pour élever mes enfants est une chance très importante pour moi. Si j'ai mon bébé en dehors de ce délai, je devrais retourner au boulot dès son troisième mois. Mais ça n'est pas le sujet 😛 !
Je ne trouve pas qu'on ait un si grand pouvoir.
Dame Nature ne nous obéït pas.
Si j'étais sûre d'être enceinte à volonté, les choses seraient différentes (je ferais un made in India) lol !
Merci pour vos réflexions. Je réfléchis encore et encore, j'ai encore quelques mois 😉🙂 !
Merci :)
Bien sûr l'évolution est gigantesque, mais il n'empêche que la fertilité/contraception ne nous obéïssent pas au doigt et à l'oeil. Il ma fallu patienter 2 ans pour mon premier. Et un mois pour le second. Je n'ai pas grand pouvoir pour définir le temps nécessaire pour attraper un troisième.

Hi there,
A friend has osteoarthritis in the knee and a meniscus problem, treated with regular injections.
Do you know of any insurance companies that cover pre-existing conditions in case their knee locks up in Africa?
Thanks a bunch!
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia for 3 weeks in November: should I take malaria prophylaxis, which medication, when to take it, and are there any side effects?
At the end of my trip, I’ll spend 5 days up north near the Angolan border and in Etosha National Park.
Thanks for sharing your travel tips and advice!

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
