Babymoon—the final fling before a couple settles down into a blissful cloud of talcum powder rising from baby soft baby bottoms. A babymoon is an opportunity for mums-to-be to relax and revel in their pregnancy while topping up the romance in their relationship. If you’re a couple well under the influence of the travel bug you may find your feet beginning to itch at times the newest member of the family won’t allow, so it’s becoming increasingly popular for people to plan a babymoon to get away before the birth. Bearing in mind the slightly different circumstances they're be travelling under, mums-to-be don’t have quite the same choice when it comes to destinations, but here are some top babymoon destination suggestions.

The second trimester, which is the best time during pregnancy to travel, is a time for comfort over adventure, mild weather over heat, shorter flights and a standard of civilisation ensuring decent medical care will be available. For that reason a lot of pregnancy experts recommend popping off to a spa or resort that offers special Mums-to-be packages for your babymoon. Miraval offers one called ‘Motherhood in Balance’, four days of workshops and classes in nutrition, fitness and financial and psychological preparation. The Golden Door Spa offers a chance to indulge in a course of pregnancy massages while watching Dad-to-be try out aqua biking – don’t laugh too hard - while feeding you body everything it needs against the backdrop of rolling, calm inducing hills in a little seaside town heavily populated with galleries, antique stores and cafes.
