Pregnancy-Friendly Activities On Your Babymoon. What are the best and most relaxing activities to do while on a babymoon?
Activities to Avoid
Some activities are best to avoid, like scuba diving, some amusement park rides, waterslides, horseback riding, hot tubs, saunas, contact sports, skiing and snowboarding.
Activities at high altitudes can be risky too because there’s less oxygen available to you, which means you’ll tire more easily. It also means your baby will get less oxygen, which can negatively affect growth and development. Therefore avoid altitudes higher than 8,500 ft. (about 2,500 meters) above sea level.
Activities to Embrace and Enjoy
Many hotels came up with great ideas for relaxing and pregnancy friendly activities for the expecting couple. Activities such as a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride through a park, a picnic lunch on the beach, a sunset cruise or river cruise on the Seine, healthy cookery classes, prenatal yoga sessions, watching in-room movies, pre-birth shopping with a personal shopper, breathing exercise classes for the couple and massage instructions for the partner.
