family have suprised me with a holiday - but i am trying to conceive

[qwertt12]

so my gorg family have once again suprised me with a massive holiday to maldheives (if it was me who booked to go with my partner i would cancl) ( i should add its in 4 weeks to go away for christmas)

we are a super close family so i cant use work as an excuse

but they have booked or us all to go away and i feel like i dont want to let them down/ waste their money / make them sad

but obviously they did not know we was trying for a baby

i have spoke with my docotr who didnt even know about zika

2 questions what would you do ?

if you was to not go what would you tell them ?

Thanks Anna x

@FelixFelicis6 no i suppose i can't but i feel okay so was just going off that really, i think i have jsut commented this sorry i didn't realise the problems i have caused by making a thread 2

@MeanMrMustardSeed oh yes that makes more sense! very sorry to everyone i haven't quite got the hang of this site,

do feel like its slightly going more onto the error of making a new thread rather than the topic! but looks like thats my own doing haha

Don’t worry! Good luck with trying for a baby and enjoy your holiday if you decide to go.

Honestly, zika isn't really a huge thing anymore + the Maldives resorts usually do something with their resort at night (can't think of the word for it) but it basically keeps the bugs and mosquitos away. Just wear mosquito repellent just Incase, have one month off, there's no reason you can't start trying again straight away when you get back as long as you don't have symptoms. I fell pregnant in Thailand when I was there for a month and my midwife said there's absolutely nothing to worry about

India and South America have it worst and is the only place medical practitioners worry about. There's no point worrying about the Maldives because it's close to India, because Sri Lanka is close to India and they don't even have the mosquito that can hold zika.

Zika mosquitos are day mosquitos btw, wear sun cream and repellent and you'll be fine.

This isn’t even a question really...

I don’t see why going on holiday would stop you trying to conceive. I mean there’s surely a bed where your going - right !?!

FFS read the thread @CTRL

I might be being insensitive but honestly I can't fathom this post at all. Even if you were 40 I'd say still go. Sorry but this is such an amazing treat with your family why would you not go?

Haha girls you have me in stitches!! Thanks for taking the time to chat with me!! I am sure you all have enjoying on your plate rather than talking to me for the 100th time today xx feeling much more sane thanks to you all! X

Haha girls you have me in stitches!!

Didn’t realise anyone had said anything even remotely amusing, but whatever floats your boat OP.

@MIW01

I went to Turkey at 22 weeks and had a lovely time.

Dont be ridiculous it is a free holiday you the Maldives. Delay conceiving for a bit, you will be raising the baby for 18 years, waiting a bit really shouldn't be a problem. If you cancel, tell your family I am available.

There is absolutely no Zika in the Maldives. Think there was one case literally 5 years ago. The resorts are all super clean and get sprayed every day. I have been three times (and TTC one time) and never even seen a mosquito. You should definitely go, enjoy a luxury holiday before baby!

When I went to the Maldives I don't remember any mosquitoes, check advice but I'm not sure if it's an issue, it certainly isn't a malaria risk. Just wait until afterwards!

@LH1987 haha I love it! Yes I have defiantly decided I am going and going to wait! Very exciting thanks for all your wonderful comments x

Ps there's more mosquitoes in Italy!

Haha girls.
Really?

Go. You’re 21. You can afford a 3 month break from TTC. And tbh. You sound like you’re benefit from both a holiday and an break from TTC.

Also, stop hahaing. Nothing’s funny.

@iworkatrhecheesecakefactory

Sorry about my Hahas

I always feel like text sounds so abrupt when you can’t see someone’s facial expressions I don’t want to offend any one with my “haha’s”

@LH1987 made a little comment about her taking my place I was just being polite with the hahas

Sorry if they offend you

No. Your “hahas” are in almost every single post on the thread. Not just one post. It’s not punctuation!

@stucknoue the mosquitoes in Italy don't carry Zika virus

They aren't offensive, they are ridiculous.
You are an adult, speak like one.

@ihavebrillohair

Oh dear, sorry to have upset you

Badly done OP.
