By now we all know that babymoons<\/a><\/span><\/span> can be a great way to connect more deeply with yourself and your partner before the arrival of a new baby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, what if a true babymoon holiday\/vacation is just not within your budget, or your schedule right now? You\u2019ve only got 9 months to fit in a babymoon, you can\u2019t just put it off or the baby will be here and your babymoon will turn into a family holiday!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter the babymoon staycation! That\u2019s right, you don\u2019t have to go anywhere to enjoy a babymoon, you can do it from the comfort of your own home, or, if you prefer, from a nearby hotel or B&B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why A Staycation Is A Great Idea For Your Babymoon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You and your partner can enjoy all the benefits of a babymoon without leaving your local area, or maybe even your house! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A staycation babymoon is the perfect way to spend some valuable time together as a couple before the hurricane of family life begins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just spending time together away from the distractions of work and other commitments will give you all the benefits of a babymoon without costing the earth and bypassing all the downsides that come from travelling – motion sickness, airport delays, lost luggage etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing for a Babymoon Staycation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Typically when preparing for a babymoon vacation or holiday you would be advised to carry a  copy of your prenatal records just in case. You would also be advised to check with your obstetrician (particularly if you\u2019ve had any complications in your pregnancy) about your holiday plans, especially if you were planning on travelling overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, one of the huge advantages of planning a babymoon staycation is you don\u2019t need to do any of this! You\u2019re staying at home (or near your home) so if anything happens medically, you can just call your doctor or visit your local hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be prepared for your babymoon vacation you need to have some idea of how you plan to spend your time together. Prepare by gathering or buying all the things you might need to make your staycation special – your favourite foods, a book you want to read or maybe some special, pregnancy safe massage oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also want to prepare by blanking out your diaries for the days of your babymoon staycation. No work commitments or even social engagements should take time away from this time together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a bubble for yourselves to just indulge in being together. Pretend that you have gone away on a vacation so you can\u2019t look after the neighbour\u2019s kids for half an hour or mow the lawn, because you are away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheap Babymoon Staycation Ideas\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those looking for cheap babymoon ideas, there are plenty of options to choose from. You could stay in a local hotel, go on a road trip to a place you’ve always wanted to see, go camping, take a beach trip, or spend a day at a local spa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you might want to indulge in a series of dates with your partner. You could spend a long weekend in your own house, where you sleep in, indulge in your favourite foods, and watch movies with your partner in a house which is likely soon to be filled with chaos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you could spend a day compiling your favourite photographs and memories in a little book, or recreating your first date. Anything where you are actively taking the time to spend with your loved one could be considered a babymoon – and the best part is that because they’re often more local, you could take two or three! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
