2. Medical Details

  • take (copies) of medical records in your bag
  • know your blood type
  • get a list of hospitals from the tourist board and keep a list of emergency contacts

3. Comfortable Footwear

Enjoy pregnancy without foot pain. When you’re planning to stroll through romantic cities on your babymoon, make sure you pack the right choice of shoes.

Are sore feet a symptom you must deal with during pregnancy? According to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) the answer is “no.” There are many remedies available to help alleviate foot pain.

According to Marybeth Crane, DPM, FACFAS, a Dallas-area foot and ankle surgeon, women often experience foot pain during pregnancy because of increased weight, foot instability and swelling.  “In the last five years, I’ve seen an increase in pregnant women with foot pain because more women than ever before are active, even running marathons, during their pregnancies,” Dr Crane says. ACFAS recommends the following guidelines to help reduce foot pain during pregnancy.

What To Pack For A Babymoon

 

  • Painful and swollen feet: wear wide comfortable shoes and don’t cross legs when sitting
  • Arch Pain: stretch daily in the morning and before and after any exercise, don’t go barefoot and wear supportive low-heeled shoes
  • Ingrown Toenails: wear wider shoes during the last trimester of pregnancy to avoid ingrown toenails.

It is also not uncommon for women to experience a change in their foot size during pregnancy. “A  permanent growth in a women’s foot, up to half a size, can occur from the release of the relaxin hormone, that allows the pelvis to open to deliver the baby. It makes the ligaments in your feet more flexible, causing feet to spread wider and longer,” Dr Crane adds.

Pedicure Spa Treatments are often offered at almost all hotels on our BabyMoon Website. And some have it included in their babymoon offers.What better way to start your babymoon than with a foot massage…….

4. Sunscreen

According to FitPregnancy.com there are six sunscreen rules to follow when you’re pregnant. Read full article here Six Sunscreen Rules To Follow When You’re Pregnant

Know that your body’s pigment-producing cells (called melanocytes) kick into overdrive during pregnancy, making your skin more susceptible to UV-induced discolouration.

  • Know your Numbers – at least SPF30, reapply every 2 hours
  • Use a Broad Spectrum Sunscreen, protection against UVA & UVB rays
  • Rub, don’t Spray
  • Kick This Chemical: Oxybenzone
  • Use Oil-Free Sunscreen

What To Pack For A Babymoon - Pregnancy Books

5. Pregnancy Magazines & Books

Ideal for on the plane, train or in your hotel room. Some hotels even offer pregnancy magazines in the hotel room on arrival. And now that you’re away and have all the time in the world, a book with Baby Names is also a handy start to dream about the name of your baby boy or girl. Or take time to read the fun book “Margarita Mama: Mocktails for Moms-to-Be”  with delicious “mocktails” designed specifically for moms-to-be. Or “My Pregnancy 2015” the only annually updated pregnancy guide by Dr Jo Girling, the must-have for all new moms.

Fairmont Monte Carlo Review

 FAIRMONT MONTE CARLO REVIEW

Fairmont Monte Carlo Hotel Review
Fairmont Monte Carlo

Fairmont Monte Carlo Review (by Mrs Ilonka Molijn)

This summer, we spent 2 nights at the hip and chic Fairmont Monte Carlo. We drove, post-Mediterranean Cruise, along with the beautiful coastal route from Genoa – Italy to Monte Carlo.
From the moment you arrive in Monte Carlo, you know you’re in a unique and exciting destination.

The weekend started with a stroll to the legendary Casino, Port Hercule and the Palace of Prince Albert. No need for a car in Monte Carlo, all tourist sights are within a short walking distance from Fairmont Monte Carlo.

Monaco Palace

Prince & Princess Onesies

In the small lovely streets next to the Palace, expecting couples can’t miss the many shops with Prince and Princess onesies,  to celebrate the births of the Royal twins Princess Gabriella & Hereditary Prince Jacques, son and daughter of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene.

Deluxe Garden View Room
Deluxe Garden View Room

Deluxe Garden View Room

We stayed in the Deluxe Garden View Room which is modern and extremely royal sized. Even with our family of four, 2 adults & 2 kids, the room has lots of space left, which gave it a rich feeling. The bed was also royal-sized and blissfully soft.

Fireworks Competition at Monte Carlo

Dinner at Fairmont Monte Carlo

We enjoyed pre-dinner drinks at Horizon Deck, Restaurant & Champagne Bar while overlooking the sea. You can not wish for better views!
Then we had a delicious seaside dinner at Saphir 24, the beating heart of the hotel. To top it off, there happened to be a Fireworks Competition that night and we were treated to an amazing fireworks show.

The next day we relaxed at the swimming pool on top of Fairmont Monte Carlo. Even while you walk outside the hotel, you can hear the music coming from Nikki Beach.

Nikki Beach is the go-to-hotspot to enjoy the prestigious atmosphere of Monaco. It is open from noon for lunch and dinner until while enjoying the music spun by Nikki Beach’s world-renowned Resident DJs.
