I must admit I hadn’t heard of a babymoon until recently. Just in case you’re in the same boat, a babymoon is a pre-baby pampering getaway. The idea is that you’re going to be grounded for a while after your bundle of joy arrives, so you’d better get some special travel time in while you can.
It’s a hot new trend in travel—combining the opportunity to travel to a destination you’ve always wanted to visit, while reveling in your relationship before the focus shifts to the baby. And often, it’s a chance to be the center of attention one last time.
Like a honeymoon, parents-to-be can tailor the trip to meet their interests and needs, and many couples choose a resort or spa. Also like a honeymoon, expect to spend a load on this vacation because you’re probably not just flying out to Niagara Falls for a few days of sightseeing.
I’m now expecting my second child, which makes it even easier to decide against a babymoon. I’d feel selfish and regret spending the money, as if I had it to spare with #2 on the way!
How about you?
