We went to Jamaica in my second trimester and loved it, but it was January. I probably wouldn't do the Caribbean this time of year as it will be very hot, the resort food was good but not great unless you paid extra, I'm not into virgin cocktails, and I was irritated that all-you-could drink alcohol was included in the resort price but I didn't drink anything.
I would do a beach vacation in North or South Carolina now (specifically, Kiawah/Charleston). Push present is the absolute worst. |

No passport, July weather, need to be near a bathroom, water to float in, maybe a totally deserted lakeshore or beach to wear a bikini while pregnant, good food, alcohol not an issue...

| Girl, you will not enjoy the Caribbean in July. Too hot & sticky. Find a nice shady spot in Maine or Martha's Vineyard, or even northern California - Santa Barabara, Big Sur, etc. |

I feel like you just proved why babymoon IS a good term- to me it's way longer and more annoying to hear "Oh, we're taking a vacation - kind of our last hurrah before baby comes, you know?" Than "babymoon." Just say babymoon. Everybody knows what it is. |

I'd stay away from resorts and their lack luster food options.
I like the idea of going north to escape the crazy heat. B&Bs in New England sounds lovely in July! I took a trip while pregnant to New Orleans which was AWESOME. The food is incredible. But definitely a terrible idea in July because it's a swamp. |

| The W in Vieques. Easy flights from DC to San Juan, take the little plane to Vieques. Could rent a jeep and explore the tiny island, but the resort is fantastic on its own. |

I'm rolling my eyes right now. You'll see how silly this notion is after you become a parent. |

Show off about what? That I can afford a trip. Am I supposed to walk around and be careful about everything I mention about my life because it might offend you?

| Greenbrier could be nice. It's a little cooler there and it's not a bad drive. Have fun wherever you go! |

| I think it's just that most people get tired of these trendy terms such as Babymoon. It's also like your trying to impress people with the ability to spend money. I for one have a great deal of money and no one would ever realize it based on how I act or live. Try setting a better example to others. Sorry. |

That's how I feel. People who are offended by the term are bitter. I'd suggest you keep your eye rolling to yourself. It makes it look like you have no idea how draining pregnancy can be, would rather do anything than enjoy yourself, and don't like to spend time with your husband. |

| Not your gif, I an talking about the 'stop saying babymoon' people. A babymoon could be a long weekend at a cabin. It does not have to be a fancy trip. |

New poster. Look, you already had the honeymoon. Now it's time to keep your a$$ at home and keep the baby safe until delivery. You do not want to be like this couple who lost their baby during babymoon. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3126710/American-couple-loses-newborn-son-giving-birth-twins-13-weeks-early-babymoon-vacation-Portugal.html |
