Summer’s here, which means it’s travel season. And if we’re being honest, it also means  wellness habits easily slip. Late nights, indulgent meals, and skipping workouts can quickly become the norm this time of year. But if you’re pregnant and traveling, staying on top of your health is more important than ever.

This is a critical time for your baby’s development and for making sure you feel your best throughout your pregnancy. So I’m sharing my go-to prenatal wellness routine that’s actually easy to stick to, no matter where you are.

Prenatals That Travel With You: Perelel’s Daily Packs 

Prenatal vitamins are essential during pregnancy because they help provide the key nutrients your body needs to support both you and your growing baby. This is especially important if you’re dealing with food aversions, following a limited diet, or feeling too nauseous to eat balanced meals. During pregnancy, your nutrient needs naturally increase to support the development of another human, so staying consistent with your prenatals is one of the most important habits you can build.

That’s where Perelel’s Prenatal Daily Packs come in. These convenient, single-serving packets contain all the vitamins and minerals you need each day, making it easier than ever to stay on track, especially when you’re on the go.

Why I Choose Perelel Prenatals

One of the things that sets Perelel apart is their trimester-specific approach to prenatal care. Perelel offers complete prenatal routines tailored to each stage of pregnancy. Perelel recognizes that each trimester is different and your body and baby go through drastic changes trimester by trimester, and your nutrient needs shift accordingly. Why more brands don’t do this is beyond me!

Compared to other prenatal vitamins like Ritual, Needed, Olly, NatureMade or One a Day, Perelel truly stands out. Many other brands leave out essential nutrients or include them in insufficient amounts. When choosing a prenatal vitamin, I look for these key nutrients:

  • Folate: supports growth and prevents neural tube defects1 in the early stages of pregnancy
  • Iron: supports brain development, improves red blood cell production to carry oxygen, and prevents anemia2 in mothers
  • DHA and EPA: these omega-3 fatty acids support your baby's brain development and may increase a baby’s birth weight and lengthen the time they stay in the womb3
  • Choline: supports your baby's entire nervous system
  • Vitamin D: supports bone development and the immune system 

Here’s a breakdown of the nutrients in each pack:

Stay Hydrated While Traveling: Perelel’s Cellular Hydration Sticks

When you're traveling (especially to hot or tropical destinations) staying hydrated is essential. It helps prevent dehydration, supports digestion, reduces bloating and regular 💩… and I know you know this can be tough while pregnant!

Plus, your body needs extra fluids to support increased blood volume and amniotic fluid while pregnant. But drinking enough water isn’t always easy, especially if you find plain water unappealing.. 

Why I Choose Perelel for Hydration

This is where Perelel’s Cellular Hydration Sticks come in. These travel-friendly, single-serving, electrolyte-packed sticks make it easy to stay hydrated (and have glowing skin) wherever you are. Just pour it in a glass and mix with water for a refreshing drink that actually supports your hydration needs, without the added sugar or artificial junk found in typical hydration drinks. Here’s why I always pack them:

  • They contain six electrolytes—sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, and phosphate—that help replace what you lose through sweat.
  • They provide 4 grams of protein per serving.
  • They’re free of added sugar.
  • They’re formulated specifically for pregnant and breastfeeding moms.
  • They’re portable and easy to toss in a carry-on suitcase or purse. 
  • They include collagen and hyaluronic acid to moisturize skin and support skin elasticity (perfect for reviving that glowing summer skin!)
  • They taste like a delicious mango lemonade drink

How to Stick to a Routine While Traveling

Let’s face it, traveling can throw your usual routine out the window. Different time zones, packed schedules, and unfamiliar surroundings make it easy to forget your supplements or skip wellness habits altogether. But a few small, intentional choices can help you stay consistent (and feel good) no matter where you are.

  • Take your supplements at the same time every day: Consistency is key. Whether it’s first thing when you wake up, with your first meal, after lunch, or right before bed, choose a time that works for your schedule and stick with it. I like to keep my Perelel packs in my toiletry bag or purse so they’re always within reach when I need them.
  • Habit stacking: Habit stacking is all about pairing a new habit with something you already do. For example, I always start my morning with a glass of water, so now, I prep it the night before. I fill a tumbler with ice-cold water, add a hydration pack, and leave it by my bedside so it’s ready and waiting for me when I wake up.
  • Set a reminder on your phone: a simple daily alarm or notification can serve as a gentle nudge to keep you on track, especially when your days are less structured. You can set reminders to take your prenatal vitamins, drink water, talk a walk, or do meditation.
