Did you enjoy your honeymoon so much? The honeymoon is of course always dominated by romance and love jitters. But have you ever seen a babymoon heard? Maybe you can already guess what a babymoon is, but we would like to explain it to you.
A babymoon is a holiday for couples who have one last time just the two of us want to take a break before their first child is born. In the context of 'now it is still possible, later when the baby is here, it will all be less easy'.
This babymoon is high on the pregnancy bucket list for many couples expecting their first child. It's nice to get away together to a nice warm country, for example. To enjoy a quiet holiday in the sun without children, while you still can. D-reizen has conducted a special babymoon study among Dutch women between the ages of 18 and 40, with some remarkable results. For example, the respondents indicate that they do not necessarily experience a babymoon as really romantic. Due to swollen ankles and/or an overweight stomach, some of the Dutch women even feel a bit uncomfortable. Furthermore, the research shows that Spain and Italy are the favorite babymoon destinations.

The trend babymoon concerns holidays in which you enjoy peace, luxury and each other before the birth. Since alcoholic refreshments and sauna visits are of course not recommended, the babymoon holidays are full of relaxation, fresh air and healthy culinary meals.
Most babymooners go away between the 12th and 24th week of pregnancy † After that, you will have more than enough time to pick out the birth announcements and paint the baby's room. The annoying pregnancy ailments are then (if all goes well) over and the belly is not too much in the way yet. Of course, like our Joyce, you can also go camping if you are heavily pregnant. But take it from us that that is not recommended, she can write a book about it.
A babymoon is recommended if you experience a pleasant pregnancy without complications. If there are complications, the nature of the complications is the most important factor in determining whether it is smart to plan another baby moon. Always consult your midwife or doctor.
You can organize a babymoon in no time. To be on the safe side, it is best to choose a destination in the Netherlands. Or at least in Belgium or Germany, so that you can be back in our little country in no time if something unexpected happens. Maybe you can let your hubby surprise you? Go away for a romantic weekend, or make it a whole holiday week. From an overnight stay in an old rectory in Belgian Limburg to relaxing in Twente… You will probably work it out together.

The coming months could just put some pressure on your relationship… Not to mention when that little one is really here! So not a bad plan, such a babymoon. To recharge and enjoy each other.
