Planning a Baby Moon
Planning a Babymoon is quite exciting – and tiring. It involves a lot of planning as you have to shift into hyper-mode. Think of it as another second honeymoon before you get your kids.
That might be the only time you and your partner have to go away, have some time together and sleep. Besides, you won’t be having much of that once the baby is born.
Planning for my babymoon was pretty amazing. Daniel and I took the time to decide on what appealed to both of us. We took some considerable time checking some of the packages on different sites in hotels and around some high-end B&Bs. Here are some tips we used to plan our baby moon. I hope this might be of help.
CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR
We decided to check with our doctor before planning for the babymoon. Several moms had told me some of their babymoon experiences. That’s when I realized whatever worked out for your best friend might not apply to your pregnancy.
SIMPLICITY
I was on the verge of giving birth – I had to keep it simple! Besides, I couldn’t do much like before. I had to have enough rest. It wasn’t boring, though. We spent most of our time together bonding.
MINIMIZE TRAVEL DISTANCE
My doctor warned about traveling for extended periods of time. That’s why we had to plan our baby moon to some place near, some place that wouldn’t require too much effort. Furthermore, we had to stop at several locations for a bathroom break after every five hours.
ALLOW YOUR HUSBAND TO TAKE TIME PLANNING
Planning it became hard since I spent most of the time in doctor’s appointments. So, I left the planning to Daniel – he did and incredible job. However, we would sit down together on our bed, and he’d express some of the challenges he faced during planning. Ultimately, it worked out in the same way it had been planned.
ENJOY TO TIME WITH YOUR SPOUSE
Lastly, you got to have some fun. Enjoy the time you have with your spouse. Besides, that is the only quiet time you might have with your spouse before the baby is born. Have some time to bond and talk about some of the expectations about the newborn baby.

Our pre baby vacation was to Mexico. I was pregnant with our dughter at the time. It was fun to getaway for a bit.
We did it totally backwards. Planned our vacation for when our daughter was 6 months old. Still had tons of fun!
My husband and I did one 16 years ago b/f it was called this. It is so important to continue to travel after too.
A baby moon! Now that is something I should have done! Too bad I missed out. Maye in the future if I’m blessed with another child.
We took a “babymoon” to the beach a month before our daughter was born. It was a great way to spend some time together before we had so many sleepless nights! 🙂
I like these ideas! I think having a low key baby moon somewhere relatively close could be nice. Just relaxing somewhere pretty would be enough.
A baby moon is a fun idea. I did one before my first and it was GREAT!
That is such a cool idea! I’ve never heard of a baby moon before. I think it’s one of the better ideas I’ve heard of for moms and dads to be.
I LOVE the idea of a baby moon! I wish these had been on the radar when I was pregnant. I would have done it in a heartbeat.
I love the thought of a baby moon! We never had a chance to travel prior to having children, so instead we plan to explore once they are grown.
I think this is a great idea because once the baby comes, there will be little time for taking vacations as a couple. I love this romantic idea.
That would be a great idea, I think. It would really help to make the actual birth a little easier. I mean, labor isn’t going to be easy, but at least the thoughts of the recent vacation would be fresh on your mind.
I’ve never heard of a baby moon before. We had to prepare and save before our first but I can see where it could work for some.
I wish my husband and I would have taken a baby moon before having kids! What a great idea! Totally agree with the idea not to travel too far!
babymoons are awesome. we took one wwhen i was pregnant with my youngest. it was more of a family trip though as i had an older child. still fun though.
I think this is a superb idea!
Parents-to-be deserve to have one last trip to be carefree….to an extent 😉
I went on a babymoon to Arizona and it was amazing! Definitely a great thing to do before baby, especially if its your first.
First time I have heard it being called this way. I just thought it was called “a vacation.” We did take a vacation before each of our children were born, but it was also somewhere close to home and to the hospital. Thankfully, nothing untoward happened and we were able to enjoy a few days away from our worries
This is such a great idea! I don’t have kids but I’m saving this idea for when I do.
This wasn’t a thing when I had my children. However, I wish it would have been!
I don’t plan on having more kids. This would have been really nice back in the day though!
This is such a cute idea. I have never heard of this before, but I think it is a great idea to take one last trip before you have a baby.
This sounds like such a great idea! Especially if you get all relaxed and pampered before the baby is born.
I wish i would have done this with my husband before we had kids. We yearn for a vacation these days! A baby moon is a great idea!
I don’t have kids so I have not experience with this. I think it’s nice to take a vacation with your husband before you give birth. It’s a great way to relax and prepare for what’s ahead.
