[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a not sure why OP is getting so defensive- also if both OP and spouse are first responders, and have “two toddlers” already, curious why you need to be on DCUM asking for travel advice. I would be more concerned about issues with the pregnancy and needing medical care or border issues (with any county) than food or crime. I think it is more important to OP to post baby moon photos than to actually do what might be in the best interest of the pregnancy. I would either postpone until a later date or look to travel somewhere in US where you don’t have to worry about impact to the trip. Canadian borders are not even open right now, I would be sticking I placed where travel wouldn’t be restricted.[/quote]

I think this is a good point. If it’s first trimester that’s when your risk of miscarriage is high. Have you considered what you would do if you miscarried on the trip? Would you feel comfortable seeking medical care in Mexico? Would you feel comfortable navigating the Mexican health care system during COVID if you had to? How is your Spanish? Would you feel okay if you had to go to a hospital? How would you feel about the trip in hindsight if you, god forbid, miscarried, caught COVID, or got food poisoning? No one is arguing with you that you don’t deserve a vacation, OP. But traveling while pregnant and traveling not pregnant are not the same thing. Add in a different country’s health care system which may or may not be adequate and covered by your insurance and you’ve added in a layer of complexity. Add in the pandemic and there’s another one. Add in restrictions around eating and drinking and that’s another level. Only you can decide if the benefits outweigh the risks. It’s possible the trip would be great and none of the thing you’re worried about would happen. But if they did, are you prepared and ok with the consequences? [/quote]
