Long time poster, NC for this one.
After yonks of trying I've just found out I am pregnant. Over the moon.
Problem is I'm supposed to be going on the holiday of a lifetime to St Lucia next week. Having given up on getting pregnant, DH and I have splashed out.
But it's classed as moderate risk for Zika 'consider postponing non essential travel'. We didn't know this when we booked it. I've read up on it and if I douse myself in repellent I might not get bitten, and if I do, I may not get the virus, and if I do it may not cause problems.
So many ifs, buts and maybes. It's taken the shine off everything. I feel like such an idiot.
We can't postpone/ cancel / change plans.
Has anyone else been to a moderate risk Zika country while pregnant? I feel like Zika is a 'new' thing, which doesn't lessen it, but 10, 15 years ago, did people travel in ignorance and be ok?
