To go on holiday when (potentially) six OR seven months pregnant?

We've been talking about TTC and feel ready to go for it this month.

But we have a holiday booked in May next year, and if we start now, I could be seven months pregnant when we go. Fully appreciate it will likely take longer than that to conceive, just working on what could happen. Also appreciate that plenty of people go on holiday in late pregnancy. Just wanted a general consensus, as this holiday will have been hard-saved for and much-needed.

I've heard that you generally feel better between months 3-6. Is going on the sort of holiday I'm describing below better before 7 months?

If it makes a difference, holiday is in the UK, a short flight away. We normally do a bit of walking on the flat there, as it is scenic, but the location is beautiful enough that I would be happy chilling there in the event that I wasn't feeling great. Just would hate to not go at all or rather be at home at the time.

I know nobody can really answer this for me. But in your opinion, would we be better off waiting another month? (so I'd be no more than six months pregnant if we conceived first month)

@Inanutshell makes a great point. I suppose as it’s in the Uk it should be safer - but always take your pregnancy notes wherever you go just in case!
