The mucosa of the cervical canal (endocervix) is composed of a single layer of mucin-secreting columnar epithelium, which lines both the surface and the underlying glandular crypts. Isolated neuroendocrine epithelial cells of argentaffin type or argyrophil type are admixed with the normal endocervical cells.
Air travel Pregnant travellers can normally travel safely by air. In the absence of medical or obstetrical complications, pregnant women can safely fly up to 36 weeks gestation. Most airlines restrict travel in late pregnancy or may require a written confirmation from a physician.
With careful preparation, travelling while pregnant can be safe, but there are additional risks and challenges to take into consideration. Pregnant women can be at increased risk of becoming infected and/or developing severe complications from certain infections, which can also affect the unborn baby.
