Babymoons Are The New Trend In Retreats

You and your friends have had honeymoons, but have you ever wished someone "Bon Voyage" as they left on their prenatal getaway? It is pretty likely you have not. After a couple becomes pregnant, the expectant parents fly into preparation mode for those 8 or so months that they have to anticipate the arrival of a baby boy or girl. They are more preoccupied with nursery colors and bassinettes than they are planning a relaxing retreat. Actually, though, this is an ideal time for couples to take some time to reflect during what has become the new trend - the "pre-baby" vacation. On these babymoons, spouses are encouraged to enjoy quality time together before their child arrives. This kind of vacation can involve any activities that are important to the couple, whether it be sightseeing, spa time, culinary experiences, or just some quiet time in a tranquil setting. Everyone's ideal vacation of this nature will involve something different, just like honeymoons do. The most important thing is to plan an excursion that is relaxing, not physically taxing. Many resorts out there are starting to offer special accommodation packages for those planning babymoons. These deals often include couples massages, romantic dinner reservations, and baby gift baskets. While it is possible for expectant mothers to enjoy some outdoor activities, the extreme sports may not be your speed at this time. Be sure to talk to your doctor before planning a vacation that may involve any rigorous activity. Just because you are pregnant does not mean you can't soak up some sun and enjoy a tasty mocktail on some exotic beach. Heading to the shore is the perfect way to escape from reality for a few days and have some alone time. The birth of a child can change one's life drastically, so babymoons are a great for those that need to get centered for the experience to come. Some babymooners even use this time to take Lamaze classes and other courses that are designed to help moms breastfeed and cope with fussy newborns. Do you have a baby registry? Instead of having friends and loved ones purchase baby clothes and nursery furniture on your behalf, you can have each person contribute to a babymoon fund. Then, you can someday tell your child that he or she went on amazing vacation before ever leaving the womb. Pick a locale today. You deserve to have one last meaningful hurrah before you welcome your child into the world.
