Planning a babymoon?

September 20, 2007

Wondering what a babymoon is?  More and more parents-to-be are taking a babymoon, a last trip together before baby comes. 

In the past few years the babymoon has grown in popularity as travel marketers, resorts and moms-to-be pick up on it. The term still confuses many. It’s not, as some guess, a trip for the purpose of making a baby.   It’s a last vacation before your little bundle makes their arrival. Speak to your doctor to make sure travelling is safe for you and baby.  If you have the OK there are many travel agencies out there that can put together a special package for your “BABYMOON”.
