We are excited to share with you the latest about Australian mums and their desire to go on a Babymoon. Check out the Finder.com.au Survey over 2,000 parents with children under 12.
According to new research by finder.com.au
- One in five parents is squeezing in one last holiday as a couple before their baby arrives.
- The survey of over 2,000 parents with children under 12, shows 22% of couples are enjoying one last getaway in the third trimester (over 28 weeks).
- Most travel insurance policies and airlines cut off at the 32-week mark as it’s considered quite dangerous flying this far along.
We’ve also found it interesting to learn that younger mothers are more likely to make the trip, with almost a quarter (24%) of mums under 30 enjoying a getaway while pregnant, compared to 16% of those aged over 40.
And most Australian mums prefer to stay closer to home that late in the pregnancy, and are about three times as likely to travel domestically rather than internationally. Still, 5% of Australian parents are heading overseas, even while mum is heavily pregnant.
Travel Bans for pregnant mums
Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Australia all have travel bans for pregnant women after 36 weeks, or only 32 weeks if you’re carrying twins. And even then, all those airlines will still require a doctor’s note for travel after 28 weeks.
