If you too are unaware of the term, do not worry as this write-up will surely give you an in-detailed idea about what \u2018babymoon\u2019 is and how you plan it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Babymoon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A babymoon is quite close to a honeymoon or a vacation that you take with your partner, right before you are about to become a family of three. Lots of people think that now that a baby is on the way, you can no longer take the risk of travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this is a common misconception. You can, of course, travel with your partner to celebrate this joyous occasion of welcoming a new addition to your family. But yes, it does require some planning and it is quite different from the ones you used to make as a family of two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips and Tricks for Planning the Perfect Babymoon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you are planning for a babymoon, you need to keep safety, comfort and convenience in mind. For this to plan out perfectly, here are some of the factors that you should take into consideration before going on your babymoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is suggested by doctors to never travel too late into the pregnancy. This is because there might be risks of complications if you decide to travel during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect time for going on a babymoon would be somewhere around the second trimester or early third trimester. During the third trimester, moms generally do not feel the morning sickness as much. There is also a boost in their energy levels and by this time around, they feel comfortable enough to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airlines also prevent moms from travelling once their 36th<\/sup> week has passed. Therefore, plan well ahead of your third trimester to avoid the discomfort during long flights or drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Your Research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Both you and your partner must do proper research regarding the destination before booking flights and hotels. Certain factors have to be taken into account while choosing a destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, avoid places that are more prone to diseases or widespread viruses. Remember, the health of you and the baby always comes before choosing exotic destinations for a vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, you must also cut out any plans of travelling to the mountains. Heights can make people nauseous as it is. This means that pregnant women can feel more nauseous when they are on higher altitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why you should cross-check whether the elevation will be alright for you or not. Avoid any such heights which can make you feel dizzy, nauseous, lightheaded or sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last thing that you should consider is the temperature of the place you are travelling to. Moderation in the temperature is what should work best to keep you comfortable throughout the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, stepping into hotter temperatures can make you feel sweaty and sick all the time. On the other hand, extreme, cold temperatures may also not feel as great either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider the Activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You cannot simply bring out your bucket list and go on an adventurous ride to tick everything off of the list. You will have to rethink those activities that you have always wanted to try out and decide on options that are better suited for your health and the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some pregnancy appropriate activities could be strolling through the city, enjoying time at the pool or beach, going for scenic drives, spa treatments etc. Sit down with your partner to see what activities the destination is offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, it\u2019s all about selecting activities that you guys will enjoy mutually while keeping the welfare of the baby and mom in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is necessary to cross-check whether or not you can actually travel during the time of your pregnancy. See if the pathway is clear for making a small trip somewhere. However, you will have to book insurance before setting out to make plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be glad about making the investment in case there is an emergency and you need to cancel the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart Planning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of things that you should take into account before you begin to book tickets for your trip. For example, choose hotels which are nearby a hospital or clinic so that you can go visit in case a problem arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, if you are going on a road trip, you have to ensure that you are loaded with snacks and water. This will prevent you from getting dehydrated and hungry until you reach your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention, if you are travelling through flights, you might want to reserve the aisle seat which is closest to the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, do not forget about your essentials. This also includes your skincare products as skin becomes extra sensitive during pregnancy. You should also pack a bag of important medicines and vitamins that you may need on your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relax<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the reason you took on this trip was to have fun. But do make sure that you have enough time for rest. After a long journey, it is crucial for you to sit down, relax, eat and sleep. Do take frequent breaks if you are engaging in any mild physical activities like swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could even read a book while you\u2019re chilling at the beach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inform the Hotel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you inform the hotel about your stay as a pregnant woman, they might provide additional care for you. Beginning from extra soft pillows to complimentary food, your stay can really be enhanced if you take the liberty of letting the hotel staff know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, do not forget to take loads of photographs so that you can look back at smile at the memories you made with the three of you. Since babymoons are generally planned as the last trip before welcoming the child, it should be as special as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, plan everything out well in advance, speak to the doctors, and take any sort of precaution that he or she has advised you to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
