Concerning work and travel during pregnancy, nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. women should sit for as long as possible and cross their legs at the knees from time to time for exercise.
  2. women should avoid seat belts and shoulder restraints in the car because they press on the fetus.
  3. metal detectors at airport security checkpoints can harm the fetus if passed through a number of times.
  4. while working or traveling in a car or plane, women should arrange to walk around at least every hour or so.
