Tips for Planning a Babymoon
These tips will help you plan and have the best babymoon experience!
Consult your doctor
Before planning your trip talk with your doctor and see if there are any concerns they have with you traveling or any restrictions you should be aware of, including international destinations.
Choose the Isle
When flying choose the isle. This allows you to stretch your legs a bit and it is easier for you to get up and use the bathroom whenever you need to.
Relax
Be sure you plan to relax on your trip. This will be the last time you will get to sleep in and have a slower-paced life.
Visit the Spa
Be sure to take advantage of the spa. Get a manicure and a pedicure. Be sure to schedule a prenatal massage and maybe even a facial. Get pampered on your trip.
Take it slow
A babymoon is to enjoy a slower paced life. Skiing the black diamond slopes or surfing might not be the best choices for your trip. But, try things like kayaking, cross country skiing or even an easy hike (just be sure to take lots of breaks and drink plenty of water).
