How to Pick The Perfect Luxury Babymoon Destination
Picking your ideal luxury babymoon destination is hard! You have plenty of options from tropical destinations, luxury beach resorts, or a spa retreat. It’s the perfect time to celebrate the upcoming birth of your new baby!
Here are some considerations when picking the perfect destination.
When You Want to Travel
The best time to travel during your pregnancy is during your second trimester or the very start of your third trimester. You should feel quite good at this time, but you aren’t too close to labor to travel.
Take a look at what time of year that is, and use that to help you decide when you want to travel.
How Far Do You Want to Travel
This is a personal decision that only you can decide. In general, short traveling times are best for pregnant women; traveling can be uncomfortable at times!
No matter how far you travel, be sure you keep your legs moving and drink ample water. It’s always wise to speak to your doctor ahead of time to determine if your travel plans are a good idea.
Potential Itinerary
Before you click the “book” button, take a look at some of the possible things you’ll do at this destination. Everyone travels differently.
Some prefer to stay busy, seeing all the sites and sounds of the area. Others prefer to veg out in a state of quiet bliss.
Neither is wrong; it’s a personal choice. However, you want to be sure wherever you travel has adventures or sites to add to your itinerary you would enjoy together.
