Unintentionally, but visited Colorado the weekend after confirming my pregnancy at the Obgyn. I was 8 weeks, and it was nice having a little getaway prebooked (flights, hotel, car rental) prior to even knowing We'd be pregnant. Ended up being able to celebrate just us two. Unfortunately, had to scrap the morning hikes, breweries were no fun, and most of the food didn't sit well with me. So I was a pooper

Going to Mexico later this month, at 20-21 weeks. In a way, doesn't make sense to book an all inclusive resort without taking advantage of the top shelf liquor. But just wanted to unwind, be pampered, enjoy beach & pool, travel some before I get too big and uncomfy. Send all the virgin piña coladas, margaritas, and daiquiris over to the preggo lady in the one-piece :-h

Tempted to squeeze in another trip early 2015. DH & I have been big on traveling, and know our streak is coming to an (almost) end becoming parents. Can't wait to hear everyone's stories & plans

I picked SS because we went on our honeymoon when I was 13 weeks pregnant. We went on a cruise to the Bahamas.

Tyrion said:
We have two planned. I'm counting them as a baby moon but really they're just little get aways.

One is in Decemeber. We are going with my husband's aunt and uncle to Islamorada (down in the Florida keys) for four days.

And in January we are going to Savannah with my best friend, her husband, my best friend's mom, and my mom.

Edit: I can't spell at 2:30AM

We lived in Miami when I was pregnant with DD and took a long weekend down in the Keys. It was wonderful. I think it's Islamorada, but there's a fun place to stop somewhere around there and feed tarpon.

VeggieFan · November 2014

Yes! We are going on two.

In December we are going to Disney World for a few days, and in January we are going to New York for a few days! Really looking forward to both of them!

juliaandpatrick · November 2014

We're planning on saving what we can before LO is born. Mostly because we'll be loosing a lot without me working for those few weeks. So no babymoon booked for us. Although my FIL lives in the not-so-rich-but-still-beautiful part of the Hamptons and we may take over his house one weekend (I'm still trying to convince DH this is a good idea).

Renate85 · November 2014

We booked a trip to Dubai and Australia the week before we found out we're pregnant. So our Dec holiday will now be a babymoon.

knitfastdiewarm · November 2014

We are headed to Kansas City next week for brewery tours for him, spa days for me, and a lot of R&R. We went to Europe a couple months before getting KU so we weren't planning a big trip this year

MrsAndy3 · November 2014

19 Days till Aruba!!! I'll be 18 weeks at the time, this trip was already planned so now it's turned into our Baby Moon and we couldn't be happier!

keifekm · November 2014

We are going to Maui at the end of the month. It is a very special place to us (got engaged and married there) so I am excited to take family pictures there with DD and do our sex reveal!

catlover790 · November 2014

We're in the "maybe" column right now. We'd like to, but my H doesn't have much vacation time and we would like him to take a couple weeks when the baby arrives, so we're still not sure. We might do a long weekend somewhere not too far away just to have some time together before baby comes!

bowman958 · November 2014

We are headed to Seattle DD free for five days in Dec. I plan to sleep

lovemaddux · November 2014

We taking a few weekend trips. We'll be in Philadelphia this weekend! Very excited. Later we are trying for a Boston trip and a So Cal trip for a baby shower.
We are also big travelers and I want to get everything in I can!

amandamarie2 · November 2014

None for us. With trying to save for the baby I'd rather just keep the money for that. We didn't have honeymoon after we got married either due to time constraints and always said we'd do it when we finished university, though I guess that trip's getting bumped back a little longer now too haha. Some day!

redneckmomma25 · November 2014

I'd like to get away for a few days while it's just dd to pawn off on someone. But we have no concrete plans and it probably won't be far or exotic.

purple_2012 · November 2014

We haven't decided yet. Money is tight for us right now. If we have the money we might go somewhere in January or February.

abc829 · November 2014

We booked our cruise last year so way before baby. But we leave the 29th of this month. Super excited but sad I can't do zip lining or go on the Bacardi tour or drink mojitos.

chapys13 · November 2014

Hopefully, DH & I will head to Mexico for 2 weeks. I should be 23 weeks by then. He has never been anywhere but Texas. I'm looking forward to showing him around!

theinvadermothership · November 2014

Hoping to take the disney trip we postponed. Likely in Dec or early January. Any later than that i don't think I'd enjoy myself very much. Especially bc being on my feet already makes my sciatica act up. Can't imagine how bad it would be after several pounds from now being added.

ewilson74 · November 2014

Mexico or Hawaii for winter break. Need to escape the torrential downpour. Sad that there won't be our annual trip to Moab / Zion in March. Needless to say, no skiing or mountain biking this year.

kayneg924 · November 2014

I picked ss because I'm still trying to convince DH to go somewhere. It doesn't have to be far, just out of Houston for a few days.

Duffgurl · November 2014

We had a awesome vacation/babymoon in Portland OR. It was so much fun and just to be with my loves.

EmmaSF · November 2014

Going to Hawaii next week for a wedding! I am looking at it like a babymoon (not taking DS) even though it was planned well before I got pregnant.
I am not allowed to fly after 24 weeks so I am hoping to do a spa weekend with DH in the winter to relax before the madness!

PinkDahLia44 · November 2014

No plans for a baby moon (we've still got a baby at home) but I did decide yesterday that I want to take an adults only vacation in two years, so looking forward to that (if I can convince the in-laws to watch my toddlers at that point...)

jackieanddan1989 · November 2014

I said SS because I am hoping to be able to go on just an overnight or *maybe* weekend trip at maybe like a local B&B, but I don't know when it would be, and whether or not we will be able to will depend on money and if DH goes to the police academy.

runnergal83 · November 2014

We'll be going to Hawaii in January for our baby moon. Super excited as we've haven't been on a real vacation together since our honeymoon.

jlb902 · November 2014

Going to Aruba at 18 weeks

Murran131 · November 2014

We planned a Hawaii trip before we found out I was pregnant - I feel a little guilty spending the money now, but at the same time, it's going to be a long while before we can do something like this again so we better live it up while we can

Less than three weeks! I can't wait!

sagehens47 · November 2014

Kauai in less than two weeks!

whippoorwill3 · November 2014

My husband's work is pretty busy so I asked my two sisters to take a trip with me. We're going to San Francisco in January. And we're calling it a sistermoon because we're cheesy and awesome.

c+est+la+vie · November 2014

No babymoon. Can't afford it

Yaz14 · November 2014

I'd like to but haven't got anything planned. If we do go somewhere it'll be within New Zealand, we won't leave the country.

JaneShops · November 2014

I want to give my support for the mamas forgoing a baby moon for budget & family reasons. I know it's quite self sacrificing, especially with all the hype around these -moon trips. You'll all be great moms.

I feel really fortunate to be able to afford my trip. We do budget like crazy. Plus DH traveled (plane hotel rental car) for work Mon-friday for 1 year 3 months nonstop. That racked up a lot of miles and points. Combo with long distance relationship during the work week, & DH only wanting to be at home on weekends. Now we want these trips, the photos & memories. I doubt it'll happen for our next pregnancy.. Haha

Sweetlill1 · November 2014

I have one week off in January and we are considering going to Hawaii or US Virgin Islands as we have never been to either and both are still within the U.S.
We are also headed to colorado for thanksgiving and may spend one night by ourselves in a hotel away from family.
Obviously we are not great planners!

littlemissluc · November 2014

Rome in January!

mhickey426 · November 2014

I would loveeeeeeee to but it just isn't going to happen

jc_twomamas · November 2014

No special plans here but we will be doing a long weekend up north at one of the ski resort and spas. Snowboarding for hubs and the spa for me! Nice time to relax and just chill out together.

Flowerstar1023 · November 2014

We're going to Vegas right after Christmas to visit family. I'm hoping to find a spa somewhere and hit up some good restaurants since the idea of casinos while pregnant sounds awful to me.

chinahyna · November 2014

FTM 18 wks. I'd love a baby moon but there's so much sh*t to plan with the baby coming (we didn't really "plan" much before we decided to "try")
We might go to Vegas for our 1yr anni babymoon next month; a weekend B&B also sounds like a good backup.
If I had time I would plan an all inclusive trip to Mexico to relax for a few days- but the thought of being busy for another week before the baby comes doesn't sound TOO relaxing :P
@Flowerstar1023‌ - maybe I'll see you in Vegas, ha- were thinking of going to see Britney Spears and check out the neon sign graveyard, and of course, eat buffets! Baby's gotta eat

crazychickenlady · November 2014

We are going to Maui for 10 days in early January. I will be 23/24 weeks.

It was originally planned as just a nice get away before we got pregnant. So unintentional baby moon I guess. But it turns out it will be perfect timing for a baby moon and I am really excited. Oh! Now that I think about it, the trip is only two months away! Yay!!

BigAppleBiggerBelly · November 2014

We're going to Hawaii in a few weeks, but we'll have our son with us, so it's not really a babymoon. We're talking about hitting a Caribbean island in January or February for a little getaway.

Last pregnancy's babymoon was amazing. We spent a little over three weeks in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. We've both switched jobs since and don't have that vacation time anymore.
