With a baby on the way, chances are you\u2019re feeling pretty restless right now. We get it, you\u2019re growing a human! It\u2019s both an exciting and a nerve-racking time, so you\u2019re probably hanging out for a holiday.<\/p>\n

Even if it\u2019s all down to the eleventh hour, you can still fit in a well-deserved (and much needed) break – and planning it doesn’t have to be a chore. Here are six tips for an amazing (and relaxing) lastminute babymoon \ud83c\udf34<\/p>\n

1. Do your research<\/h2>\n

Generally, it\u2019s best to stick to a domestic holiday, especially if you\u2019re in your last trimester. This should also make your getaway cheaper and easier to plan, especially if you’re doing it at the lastminute. However, if you’re keen to go overseas and your doctor says\u00a0your destination is okay and gives you the all-clear to fly internationally, then pack those bags, bb! \ud83d\udc76<\/p>\n

Also ask your doc\u00a0if there are any activities you should avoid, how far you can travel, or if there are any places you shouldn\u2019t visit. If you are thinking about going overseas, make sure to ask about any vaccinations you might need (and\u00a0whether or not you can have them) too!<\/p>\n

2. Be flexible<\/h2>\n

Babymoon or not, this is a solid tip for ANY lastminute getaway. You can get some awesome deals at the lastminute, when hotels and airlines sometimes need to lower their prices to fill up empty rooms and seats.\u00a0The best deals are usually where there’s lots of leftover stays and flights – which\u00a0can seriously work in your favour if your priority is staying in a lush hotel, rather than visiting a specific destination. Check out the #livelastminute page<\/a> on lastminute.com.au – it has all\u00a0our hottest hotel, flight and package deals for this and next weekend.<\/p>\n

3. Let go<\/h2>\n\"\"\n

Once you\u2019ve found out what you can do, and where you can go,\u00a0it’s time to\u00a0unwind. Kick back, relax, and let go of your worries. This is the ultimate me-time moment.<\/p>\n

Why not pop off to the Mornington for a long and lazy weekend? Less than a two-hour drive from Melbourne CBD, Lindenderry at Red Hill is a tranquil escape<\/a> where you can breathe in fresh country air, indulge in some\u00a0amaaazing local fare and slow down, even just for a few days.<\/p>\n

4. Keep moving<\/h2>\n

Okay, we’re sure you already know this, but it’s\u00a0best not to spend long periods\u00a0sitting down\u00a0when you’re pregnant (or ever, really). So if you\u2019re on a drive or flight, make sure you keep moving. If you’re driving, pull over and have a stretch. If you’re flying, stand up and go for a walk down the aisle.<\/p>\n

5. Get pampered<\/h2>\n\"\"\n

Hey, it’s hard work making a brand-new person! So why not treat yourself to a little R\u2019n\u2019R with a massage or beauty treatment?\u00a0QT Sydney offers pregnancy massages<\/a> and is smack-bang in the middle of the harbour city. It\u2019s just a short stroll for sightseeing, too, which makes it the perfect option for a little stay-cay.<\/p>\n

6. Chase the sun \ud83c\udf1e<\/h2>\n

Soak up the sun and that sea breeze, but don\u2019t forget to slip, slop, slap. Lizard Island Resort is an all-inclusive<\/a>\u00a0luxury escape that makes for the perfect break before\u00a0your big arrival. The location is serene and stunning,\u00a0just off the coast of Tropical North Queensland, AND\u00a0they offer a tailored babymoon package with every detail attended to. Massages, mocktails, a picnic on a beach all to yourself – yes, please! Just make sure you get your doctor’s\u00a0okay before you\u00a0go, as\u00a0Lizard Island doesn’t have a hospital.<\/p>\n
