TTC and planning holidays

We booked a holiday to the uk whilst we were ttc but then I ended up being 6 weeks when we flew and I had bad m/s. So I would suggest booking and then if you don't fall pg take a ttc break so that you don't have m/s when you are on holiday

DH and I have been talking about the same kind of thing. We are keen to go travelling for 6 months or so, in the very near future. We figure that we should do travelling together (we've both travelled a bit before, but before we met each other) and think that doing it before babies might be better, but we still want to get pregnant anyway.

We're only thinking of cruising around Australia at the moment, so if we did get pregnant, we'd hopefully be able to get prenatal care there, but haven't really looked into it too much (as we're not 100% sure we'll go, AND it depends on IF we get pregnant and WHEN).

ahhh - just another piece of puzzle to chuck into the mix..... any suggestions?

We are having a family get together in Surfers next SEP.   If we got pregnant now baby would be born in August so that would work out well but if not then I wont go over.....don't want to put ttc on hold. Plus travel insurance covers you up to 26 weeks and would not want to risk travelling without insurance.

Would it be the worst thing in the world to be pregnant on your holiday? Probably not so I would just go for it!

I flew to England at 6 weeks and flew back again at 8 weeks. Although it wasn't ideal as I had m/s it wasn't that much worse that what the flight is anyway. I was quite lucky on the flight back and managed to sleep a lot which helped. I think the worse bit of the whole experience was queing to get through customs at heathrow (cos I v.nearly fainted). Also because it was early in the pregnancy I wasn't uncomfy in the seats (well no more than normal anyway). We flew with air nz and went via hong kong, the flight wasn't as crowded as the LA one and hong kong airport it really nice the people are friendly and helpful (unlike LA). I found the air hostesses etc really looked after me as well, as I looked like crap.
All I would suggest is if you have m/s take some crackers etc on the plane with you as I really could not stomach the plane food.

Airlines will carry without medical clearance pregnant passengers up to 30 weeks.

We are planning on having an extended overseas holiday next year, and I may or may not be preggers by then but as that's not confirmed we're going ahead with our travel plans.

If anything a relaxing holiday is likely to spice up the baby dancing and result in conception.

I think it also depends on where you go on holiday i.e. places like Thailand etc etc as you would need to be a bit careful with the types of food you eat whilst pregnant but otherwise I think you should be OK as you are going to Europe.
