Grupo Mayan experts are aware that you can find most medications in Mexico but it’s always easier to bring your own pills while traveling. This applies to tampons and maxi pads as well. You will be able to find these items at the Grupo Mayan Mexican resort gift stores, but know that they will be more expensive than in the United States at local convenience stores, pharmacies, and supermarkets. When you’re used to a particular brand, it’s cheaper and much simpler to bring them from home.
Women who often suffer from yeast infections need to bring their own medicine. Grupo Mayan health experts suggest that if by some chance that you get a yeast infection in Mexico (they are quite common) to go to a pharmacy. If you are unable to find a pharmacist who speaks English, try to find a local English - speaking woman to write out the word yeast infection for you in Spanish to avoid being embarrassed any more than you already are.
Pregnant?
Grupo Mayan health care representatives feel that if you’re traveling during your first pregnancy that it’s always helpful to bring along literature about the stages of your pregnancy that you are currently in. It is hard to find basic information in English about pregnancy. Climbing all the stairs will be exhausting so packing light is essential. It may be easier for someone to travel in you second trimester since your body will be used to being pregnant.
Grupo Mayan health experts agree that you must wear comfortable shoes. Shoes with arch supports and loose clothing with elastic waistbands will be most comfortable for you during your pregnancy overall but especially while you are traveling through Mexico.
Make sure that you pace yourself. It is detrimental that you allow yourself plenty of time for rest. If you become ill make sure that you contact an English speaking doctor. Unfortunately, medical care in Mexico can be hit or miss.
Grupo Mayan health and travel professionals recommend pregnant women seek out nutritious foods. Instead of dining in restaurants, make yourself a picnic lunch. Be sure to carry nutritious fruits and vegetables while you are site-seeing incase you get hungry. Bring your prenatal vitamins and calcium supplements.
Grupo Mayan experts agree that it is quite pleasant to be pregnant in Mexico. The natives are particularly kind. Whenever your child is old enough you can let them know that she or he has already been to Mexico and hopefully you will be taking them again.
