If you're babymooning...
Are you staying in the US? DH and I are thinking about the Caribbean in December, but I worry about the quality of the hospitals there (I haven't looked into this, so they may be excellent) and if something happens I want to feel secure in the care I'm getting. Thoughts? Am I totally off?

Re: If you're babymooning...
I really wanted to babymoon, but it looks like we just aren't going to have time. I was thinking about the caribbean, but ours would be during hurricane season. The quality of hospitals did also concern me. How far along will you be? I'm sure I would have been fine, but I'm a worry-wort.
My other idea was Vegas. I've been there twice, DH has never been and I thought it was a good place for a babymoon since it's more an adult vacation than a kids place and I'm not sure if I would take my kids there.

Re: If you're babymooning...
We went to Napa Valley and San Fransico and I was 16 weeks. It was so nice, the weather was perfect, we went the last week in October. I really wanted to go to the carribean but DH didnt want to.

Re: If you're babymooning...
We went to the Bahamas when I was about 18 weeks PG ... I felt like the island wasn't too remote in case anything happened while I was away, and it was a very short plane ride away from Florida if I needed to get back to the US for medical attention, etc..

Re: If you're babymooning...
DH and I babymooned in Aruba when I was 27 weeks. The doctor was very pleased we chose Aruba since they have very good medical facilities there. She also liked the fact that everyone speaks english.

Re: If you're babymooning...
We cruised out of NY when I was 23 weeks. DH was also concerned about traveling to other coutries, he felt better that we were on an American ship.
I personally didn't worry either way. Not to sound morbid, but if I needed a Dr. at that point, there was really nothing they could have done anyway, so I figured why make myself crazy. The ost they could have done was put me on bedrest and I can lay around anywhere.

It wasn't a problem for me, or my dr. I had an easy pregnancy so we didn't foresee any issues.
My dr gave me a copy of my records to bring with me just in case, but I was much further along than you.
I wouldn't worry at 10 weeks.

That's good to know- my SIL and brother love Aruba. I'll be about 22 weeks (I think) over the X-mas break, which is really the only time we'll have to go. I'm also asthmatic, and while I've been ok so far, I have read that asthmatic women have trouble starting at about 20 weeks. So I'd want to be confident that there would be good medical care available if needed.

Aruba is fantastic!

Re: If you're babymooning...
I'm assuming babymooning means going to your honeymoon pregnant?
If thats the case, when I fly to Thailand for our 15 day tour, i will be around 8 weeks pregnant, and 10 weeks when I return....
Obviously this wasnt planned

A babymoon is just a nice trip you take before the baby comes. Most of us have already been on our HMs. This is just a trip for you and DH, since it may be the last one for a while.

OOOhhhhhh - I read that really the best time to do this is in your 3rd trimester, right?

The "best" time is actually during your 2nd tri-mester; it's when you feel the best. You aren't that big yet and the morning sickness and exhaustion "should" have passed.
