Hi. Got a bit of a dilemma. Hubby and I are planning to start a family soon, but have booked a week off work in September together. We both really want to go away abroad to Greece - back to a hotel we stayed at before and fell in love with. We talked about a UK holiday but I don't think it'll be the same. But by then, it's possible I could be either 1 or 2 months pregnant (assuming we get pregnant immediately after trying). It's hard to know what to do. It might take more than the first couple of months of trying to get pregnant and it isn't an issue, or we might fall pregnant straight away!
On the one hand, we both need a break and it might help with conception, having some chill out time on the beach. On the other hand, I could be in the early stages of pregnancy and wonder if the flight could lead to a miscarriage. I read up quite a lot on it and it seems it's safe to fly on all the official health websites but they do mention that nausea might be worse and DVT and miscarriage are a risk. I guess if we didn't book to go away and we weren't pregnant by then, I would feel annoyed that we hadn't just gone away.
I suppose my question to any Mums out there is: would I enjoy a beach break if I was in the early stages of pregnancy, is morning sickness a bit tiring if you're abroad? Has anyone else flown when they're 4 - 8 weeks pregnant?
We'd delay starting a family a bit longer until after a potential September holiday, but I'm 35 so we're sort of thinking that time is of the essence.
Any advice please???
