Just found out I'm pregnant. We go to Florida in 7 weeks. Tips & Advice please?

[MrsArcher2b]

As the title says, I have just discovered that I'm 4 and a half weeks pregnant. We leave for Florida in 6 and a half weeks so I will be 11 weeks along.

This is my first pregnancy. We've been trying for about a year, as in no birth control but not going out of our way to check timings. Right now I'm feeling shocked and excited and I'm trying to get my ducks in a row

Obviously this will mean a big change to the ride aspect of our holiday and because of how near it is we already have tickets to Disney, MNSSHP, Universal, KSC and a rodeo. DH and I are staying offsite in a villa and have a car hire that we both can drive.

We are also going on a week long cruise to the fjords in 4 and a half weeks. We never have this many holidays...must have known, lol.

Having never been pregnant before I'm not 100% sure what to expect. I feel ok right now but I know I could feel sick and tired. I would usually take travel sickness pills too.

Any hints, tips or advice will be gratefully received.

I would also appreciate any suggestions of special or unique baby shops or things in Florida that we might not get over here.

Just wanted to say congratulations.

I would speak to your doctor/midwife about what they suggest x

Congratulations!

I've been to Florida twice in the last 4 years and both times ended up pregnant. The first time I was 20 weeks and went in June it was hot and I just took it easy. Some days the heat got a bit much and I had to spend a couple of days just chilling around the resort. There are still plenty of things to do ride wise and shows.

The 2nd time I was 8 weeks and we went in January. I had rough pregnancies both times but for some reason when I went to Florida it seemed to stop and I had a fantastic time.

Congratulations! As a first step, I would get in touch with your GP surgery to speak to a midwife as it might affect scan timings, I know the nuchal fold has to be done in a limited date range which is likely to overlap with your holiday, so it would be worth checking that with them and trying to get it booked.

I�ve been to the US in all three of my pregnancies, first time to California including a day of Disney, other times in Florida. I was a little bit further on than you at 14-15 weeks each time. The risk of blood clots is a bit higher in pregnancy so make sure you keep mobile on the flight.

Otherwise just plan your days to allow for breaks, and be prepared to take things a little bit easier if you are feeling tired.

Congratulations, just take things at your own pace, keep hydrated and make sure you move often in the flight . I was pregnant in one of my trips ( youngest 21 so not recent ! ) ginger biscuits a god send if you feel sick . Best wishes so exciting 😁

Congratulations, and enjoy the first special weeks. I loved that we where having a secret from the world.

And ask for advice from a midwife/doctor, they can help.

Congratulations! Been so long since I was pregnant, but we got married abroad when I was 8 weeks gone, and holidayed again when I was 29 weeks (2nd baby) Stay hydrated as you usually would in Florida, and take some time out when you need it. As you're bound to be tired, let alone the usual Florida tiredness after days in the parks! Not sure if you need to inform your insurance company aswell? just incase (god forbid anything should happen)
