These days, when people say, “Welcome to the Babymoon, ”expectant parents are usually welcomed at the hotel of their choice for a relaxing vacation during their pregnancy.
However, when the term “babymoon” was coined by the British writer Sheila Kitzinger in the late 1990s, it referred to the first, very intense period between parents and their newborn. During this time, the fundamental family bonds are formed, which give the newborn a basic sense of security and comfort. The term “babymoon” was modeled after “honeymoon”—that is, the honeymoon period, during which, in addition to fun and enjoyment, the idea of a newly formed family is internalized and strengthened.
Vacation During Pregnancy
But as I said, these days a “babymoon” refers to a couple’s vacation together before the birth of their child. As a rule, this is also their last vacation filled with romance, love, and pure time together as a couple. Of course, you can also spend wonderful days with your baby or older children, but for many couples, the babymoon is something truly special. The very term “babymoon” is steeped in romance. It’s a chance to truly relax and let go—and to enjoy the moment with all your senses. Choosing the right hotel is an essential part of having a wonderful babymoon together.
