How to Have An Awesome Babymoon

What is a babymoon? A babymoon is a chance for you and your partner to go on a romantic getaway before you transition into full blown family life. It's a time to connect to each other and maybe even openly discuss your concerns and fears about bringing new life into the world. The goal is to leave the trip feeling closer and confident about what lies ahead. Here are some ideas for your moon.

Remember, it's best to take the moon before you are too far along in your pregnancy to prevent too much stress on your body.

Things to Consider

Check Restrictions - If you are flying or going on a cruise, there are often restrictions about if you are allowed to board, depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy. Make sure you look at these ahead of time!
Distance -You don't want to put too much strain on your body by sitting down for a long period of time so pick a destination that's not too far away.
Availability of Medical Care - Let your OB know what you're doing and see if they have any travel advice or words of caution. Note nearby doctors and hospitals at your destination in case of any kind of emergency.
