Enjoying all the attention and pampering from everyone at home? It is
now time for some travel and special moments with your darling
husband. After the ever-tiring and stressful first trimester, you
will be happy to spend the second trimester in absolute bliss because
it is the most welcoming period of your entire pregnancy. You can
make the best of this period by taking time off with your hubby
dearest and traveling to a place where you can relax and de-stress
yourself. This one is going to be the last relaxing travel for you
before your little one arrives. You are sure to cherish this vacation
all your life and that is why I would recommend you to plan and not
miss out on the babymoon fun.
Best time for babymoon
Your morning sickness and tiredness through the day has probably
subsided by the end of the third month of your pregnancy. You are
hopefully coming back to normalcy and feeling excited about the slow
and constant growth of your cute baby bump. Clear signs for some
vacation and to wake up the traveler in you! Weeks 14 to 28 is the
best period for you to travel and is considered safe as well. Third
trimester will be tiring with the big bump. It is also not a safe
period to travel. So, plan your babymoon in the second trimester to
make the most of it.
Choosing your babymoon destination
So, you have blocked the dates for a rejuvenating period ahead!
Choosing the right destination comes next. Here are a few things you
must bear in mind before you finalize the place.
- Select a place not too far away. Flight travels are not advisable and most airlines do not permit pregnant women to travel with them as well.
- Driving to your desired location is the best way of commuting. Select a route that is not bumpy so you are safe.
- You are definitely not going to get adventurous in this phase of life. Moreover, all you want to do is relax and feel rejuvenated. Nothing like a resort in the nature's lap. And if it comes with a in-house spa treatment, its the best bet!
- Nature lovers can choose a destination away from the hustle bustle of the city. However, ensure that you are in close proximity to doctor facilities and other basic amenities.
- Overseas travel is not advisable but if you have a go-ahead from your doctor, then, nothing like it!
- Considering the food options at your desired destination is also very important as you do not want to mess up the wonderful phase by falling sick.
Things to consider before you go zoom zoom!
- Talk to your gynecologist regarding your babymoon plans. If you can keep your doctor in the loop while you are traveling, you are sure to feel safe and secure.
- Jot down the list of items you want to carry and start packing your bag well in advance. First in the list will be your regular medicines that your doctor has advised you to take during pregnancy.
- Carry additional clothing and things like umbrella and jackets for unforeseen weather changes.
- Ensure you have phone numbers of your doctor and others you might feel the need to contact in case of emergency.
- Carry your ultrasound scan reports and all your prenatal reports. You never know when a need might arise.
- Keep handy some nuts and other healthy snacks to munch on whenever you are hungry during the travel.
- If traveling by road, choose pit stops carefully. Step into the washrooms only if they are hygienic.
Bear in mind that there is nothing more important than your health
now! If you sense even a slightest risk, it is wise to avoid
traveling. You can consider spending some "we time" with
your husband. If there is a spa close by, hop in and enjoy some
pampering! But, nothing at the cost of your health and well being.
I hope this was a helpful article to you in planning your babymoon.
Rejuvenate yourself to welcome your little one. Happy traveling!
