What holiday/s would you do in these circumstances?

[PandaOrLion]

I’m pregnant, due August. It’s possible for me to fly till mid-May. I also already have a 3yr old.

DH and I both have significant birthdays this year and had planned to do Caribbean/sri Lanka/New Zealand during the spring. We’d planned that pre-pregnancy but not booked anything.

We love holidaying with friends and would usually do 3-4 Eurocamp type holidays with friends throughout the year.

Do we:
a. Do a long haul, nice birthday even though I might not be able to do it all due to pregnancy
b. Stick with a Eurocamp early-season before I’m 28weeks and save the long haul nice holiday for the future.
c. Nothing whilst pregnant, wait till the autumn and do a Eurocamp or a villa then (with small baby) and no friends holidays this year.

Or have I missed something better? We are both self employed and can easily take holiday as and when. No specific budgets but I don’t want to fly to Caribbean etc and just stay in a hotel - we’d want to explore and do things.

I mean Caribbean or Sri Lanka or New Zealand, not do all three.

i’d do A and then maybe try and do a UK holiday with friends before baby is born but it really

I’d go to one of those destinations when you’re 5/6 months pg. You will have a great time. Just check for Zika and that they’re not problematic.

camping in the autumn with a toddler and small baby doesn’t sound like fun to me, but you may disagree!

I went to Jamaica when I was five months pregnant with my second and am so pleased I went as I didn’t fly long haul again until my third started school. I still did lots of excursions and adapted two of them to suit me.
I went in April and I had my baby in August.

thanks. This is my thinking - something April time long-haul. The main frustration is it’s the Easter holidays so the price is more than if we went earlier.

With the first pregnancy I was on a “no more than 30 mins drive from the hospital from 32weeks” so there a chance of that too this time. I don’t want to assume I’ll be able to travel for a uk holiday during June and July so I’d love to get away beforehand if possible.

It’s chalet/mobile home style so it’s better than real camping. Plus warm swimming pools and lots of playgrounds so parenting a toddler is very easy!

I went to South Africa at 20 weeks and Miami at 29/30 so needed a fit to fly. I’ve been lucky my pregnancy has been straight forward.

We’re looking at a long weekend at end of month before I can’t fly anymore.

We consciously chose zika free destinations as my research showed risk regardless of destination. May be worth speaking to your midwife.

There is Zika virus in Sri Lanka, so I would cross that off your list.

Not NZ!! Not Sri Lanka either due to Zika

Caribbean should be perfectly possible. Why not March before Easter hols kick in?

no suggestions to your trips but what Eurocamps have you done that you would recommend to toddler holiday with friends/family? Have you done any car free ones around Beziers/Perpignan/Girona you'd recommend.

Caribbean is a Zika risk too...
