i went on a babymoon with dc #1. I was seven months problem and really had no issues at all. Pack as you normally would. I just made sure I took my prenatals and my tums and I was good.

Re: anyone travel while 24 weeks?
I traveled to Europe at 20 weeks and domestically at 28 weeks. I found even on short plane rides that my feet and ankles got really swollen. For Europe I wore compression socks which maybe helped a little. Depending on whether you have been swelling at all during normal days, this may not be an issue for you. I also never leave home without tums and a bottle of water. Besides that enjoy your vaca like a normal person!

Re: anyone travel while 24 weeks?
I went to Florida at 25 weeks. It was absolutely fine and they even let me board early so i didn't have to worry about people knocking into me with bags and i could sit and get myself situated without a crowd around. Just bring plenty of water (I bring an empty bottle and fill it up at the airport) and I also made sure to get up a lot durign the flight since you are more prone to clots when you are pregnant- other than that enjoy it!!! it will be great!

We just went to Florida last week when I was 19w. I opted out of the scanners and did the pat down each way. I wore shoes that were easy on, easy off so I could kick them off while sitting down and I made sure to get an aisle seat so I could get up every so often and move my legs. I had no problems at all.

I went to FL at 29w, but we drove. Advice while there is drink plenty of water, rub good spf on the belly, and stay in the shade when you need.
ETA: i dunno if it was the heat or humidity bc I went in August and it was hot in NY too, but my boobs leaked like crazy so you may want to bring disposable pads.

I went to Ireland for 2 weeks at 25 wks. It was great, except for that I had to pee constantly on the plane!

Re: anyone travel while 24 weeks?
Went to FL both at 17 weeks and 32 weeks this last pregnancy, fine both times. Didn't pack anything special or do anything different. It was hot so I just made sure to drink plenty of water. Were both very active trips since we had a then 3 yo (including theme parks on one of the trips) and honestly I was fine. I was somewhat high risk and my OB just didn't want me travelling after 33 weeks (which is why last trip was at 32 weeks).
