At first, the legs and knees swell, causing severe pain in the calves and thighs. If the blood clot breaks off and blocks the pulmonary artery, there is a risk of chest pain, shortness of breath, and heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&lt;Solution&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drink plenty of water (carbonated drinks are a no-no as they expand)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move your legs and body about once every 30 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear loose clothing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c2-2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Problems_caused_by_changes_in_air_pressure\"><\/span>Problems caused by changes in air pressure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Problems may occur on board due to changes in air pressure and reduced oxygen levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Worsening morning sickness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compression of the uterus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>headache<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent urination<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact on the fetus is also a concern, but since the miscarriage rate among flight attendants is not much different from that of women in other occupations, it is thought that there is little need to be concerned about the impact on the fetus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&lt;Solution&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wear loose clothing around the chest and stomach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reserve an aisle seat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare a sickness bag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear a mask<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"c3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_effects_do_metal_detectors_and_radiation_have_on_fetuses\"><\/span>What effects do metal detectors and radiation have on fetuses?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be worried about the metal detectors at the baggage inspection gates, as they may affect your unborn baby.
