We totally understand why it might be tempting to write off the idea of a babymoon as unnecessary. You’re trying to prepare for a new baby – now you have to plan a vacation, too? But a babymoon is an amazing way to connect with your partner before you welcome your newborn into your lives. Often, couples say that their babymoon is one of their fondest memories, the perfect opportunity to reset and mentally prepare for one of the most major life changes. And choosing the right babymoon destination can make a huge difference, helping ensure the trip is relaxing and romantic, rather than exhausting.
We gathered together 12 spots that make perfectly dreamy babymoon destinations – but there’s a few things to keep in mind before you choose a spot. First and foremost, make sure you clear your travel plans with your doctor before booking a trip. Depending on how far along you are, they may suggest avoiding air travel, or staying within a certain distance from home. They’ll also be able to give you tips on local foods or activities to avoid.
Also make sure to pack with comfort in mind. Go ahead and bring the bigger bag if that means you can fit in the pregnancy pillow that helps you sleep easily, for instance, or maternity dress that makes you feel gorgeous. This is meant to be a trip to set your new adventure off on the right foot – and you can’t do that when you’re uncomfortable.
Without further ado: 12 amazing babymoon destinations to explore, when you’re considering planning your own prebaby trip.
