After that wonderful honeymoon and a long gap later, now is the time for babymoon- a much essential break required before your baby arrives. Babymoon can mean both pre-birth and post-birth holiday break. But now what we are going to talk about is a rejuvenating vacation during pregnancy. If you are a first time expectant couple then this could be your last chance to imprint your private moments in your memories without any hustle and bustle.
This is the time to give yourself a treat because after few months, before you know, you will end up in muddle of sleepless nights and diaper changing; any second time couple would be able to visualize it.
The best travelling period during pregnancy is the second trimester, when you’re more relaxed, away from all the nausea and pregnancy symptoms that prevail mostly in the first trimester. Also you’re far from giving birth to a premature baby, which is a risk sometimes when travelling in the third trimester.
Your babymoon depends on the type of person you are- a beach lover, nature nurturer, heritage admirer, etc. But whoever you are and whatever you treasure, the only thing that must be on top of your priorities is your health. It’s not advisable to travel long distances and also be wary oftoo much sightseeing when you are on vacation during pregnancy especially on bumpy roads.
One good idea is to choose a location not too far from your place and go stay in a resort while you still can enjoysome selected sightseeing without trying to cover everything around the place.
