Quick Babymoon Ideas for Expecting Couples

A honeymoon has long been a popular tradition in which a newlywed couple vacations together for a few days or weeks. The holidays are supposed to be a time for the couple to celebrate their marriage and enjoy each other in seclusion and intimacy.

Nowadays, couples not only go on their honeymoon, but also on their babymoon. A babymoon is a similar vacation taken by a couple, but this time not as newlyweds but as parents-to-be. It’s supposed to be a time for parents-to-be to relax and enjoy themselves before a baby joins the family. Sometimes the term babymoon is also used to refer to the days and weeks after a baby is born, which is a time for new parents to simply focus, spend time, and bond with their new baby.

Most often, babymoon refers to a pre-baby vacation taken by a couple. Although babymoons are becoming more common, they can be challenging for some pregnant women in the last weeks of their pregnancy. However, a babymoon does not have to be a very complicated and extensive vacation. It can be a very quick and easy vacation that does what it’s supposed to do: give the couple a special, quiet moment together before the baby is born. Below are some quick babymoon ideas for expecting couples.

• near the beach. Pack your bathing suits and head to the nearest beach. Choose a nearby beach resort that is quiet and not crowded. The tranquility and relaxing atmosphere that the beach offers is enough to put the two of you into vacation mode, allowing you to recharge and re-energize. You can take short walks on the beach early in the morning or just before the sun goes down. Or you can just lie down on a sun lounger and read a good book.
• Stay in hotels. If one or both of you simply can’t get away from the city due to work or other reasons, you can simply choose to stay in a hotel for at least one night. You can choose a large and luxurious hotel or you can go for calm and quiet hotels. Makati City has a generous supply of a variety of hotels that you can choose from. If you work or are in Makati, a hotel in Makati is a good choice. You may also want to consider a hotel in Ortigas or in Alabang.
• spa complex. Resorts that have spa services have become quite popular, especially in Tagaytay. Just a 2-3 hour drive from Metro Manila, any pregnant couple will find a quick stay in a relaxing and rejuvenating spa.
