What is a babymoon?
Similar to honeymoons where newly-married couples spend quality time together with a carefree trip abroad, babymoons are short vacations that couples take before the arrival of their baby.
Though you can go on your babymoon trip anytime during your pregnancy as long as you’re feeling healthy, it is recommended to wait until at least the second trimester – during weeks 13 to 26 – as a precaution. Expecting mums generally report lesser symptoms of morning sickness by this time, so you’ll be able to travel more comfortably.
As an added layer of precaution, consult your gynaecologist on whether you’re fit and healthy to embark on your holiday based on your stage of pregnancy. You should also clarify about the various spa treatments and activities offered by the resorts just to have absolute peace of mind that it’s safe for pregnant women. When in doubt, opt for dedicated prenatal treatments.
