Hi all, I am just over 14 weeks pregnant. I was suffering from Hyperemisis in the earlier weeks but this has finally eased off to a mild nausea.
We had been trying for DC2 for nearly 2 years and so were really ecstatic to finally have conceived (especially since DC1 was conceived on first cycle).
Before I found out I was pregnant, we planned to treat ourselves to a holiday to Mauritius in January but obviously cancelled those plans after our BFP in late November.
For other personal reasons, we haven’t been able to travel for the last 2 years and so were looking forward to it. But now we are pregnant, we would rather miss out on the holiday as a DC2 was far more important.
However, even so, after DC2s hopeful arrival in August, there’s no way I can fathom going abroad for a little while with a toddler and baby in tow (though I know many Mums do but I prefer not to). So I really do want to have at least a small holiday before the arrival of DC2.
Obviously, 2nd trimester is the best time to go which leaves me until end of april/may, however I would prefer to go earlier - in the 20 week mark - instead of toward 26 weeks.
I’ve had a look at europe and feel it won’t be warm enough for DC1 age 4 to go swimming in the pools/beach during march/april.
Long haul is out of the question so now I am considering Abu Dhabi as it about 7.5 hours on the flight.
It is very expensive though!
But it’s also the only mid-haul destination that I am interested in travelling to whilst 20 weeks and will have imo almost the perfect temperature (28 degrees) during this time.
I finally found a holiday package which is all inclusive for 2 adults and 1 child and flights and transfers included at approx £2200 for 5 nights.
Is that too much? Or reasonable for UAE?
Moreover, my sickness has just started to flare up a little so now I’m debating whether to even go as I would be miserable if I couldn’t enjoy myself (and also ruin DH and DC1s time too)
What do you ladies think?
Is it a price reasonable and should I hope for the best and book??
Your suggestions please! Thank you!
