2nd Trimester

Swine Flu- opinions please

We have had a cruised planned for months and now its in 2 weeks. We're debating whether to go because I would hate to expose myself and the baby.

Would you still go and just not get off the boat or skip out all together? Were leaving in 2 weeks for 4 days from Long Beach to Ensanada.

Re: Swine Flu- opinions please

  • Since the CDC is saying that Americans should limit travel to Mexico unless its absolutely necessary, I wouldn't be surprised if the cruise line postpones any trips that involve Mexican ports or allows you to change your reservations (I know airlines are letting you make last minute changes for these circumstances). Check with your cruise line, and with your doctor.?

  • I probably wouldn't go.  Can you call the cruise line and explain you're pregnant?  You may have a better shot at getting them to reschedule you for later than others.

    This!

    gby!

  • I would not go either.  As a PP mentioned the cruise line will probably skip the stop all together since the CDC is recommeding limited travel to Mexico.  I would check with them first before cancelling the trip altogether.

  • I think Ensenada is the only stop, right? ?

    We went on a cruise to Mexico in November and got terribly sick with the Noro-virus. ?Not something I would want to have pregnant, so I wouldn't take a cruise while pregnant anyways. ?Now, with the swine flu, I would cancel it, especially since we have all been advised to limit travel to Mexico.?

  • Thanks ladies. I actually finally got a hold of my Dr and she recommended not going. So hopefully we can reschedule. Bummer but I would never do anything to potentially hurt the bebe. Oh well :)
