Would You Take a Vacation to Get Pregnant?

By , About.com GuideDecember 15, 2009

Follow me on:

We've all heard of babymoons, where couples who are already expecting a child take a vacation before the baby is born. But what about couples who are having trouble getting pregnant and take a vacation to try and conceive? Some people believe that stress can really get in the way of conception. Taking a vacation is a way to ease stress and unwind. Getting away from your chores at work and in the home can help you clear your mind and focus on the two of you and getting pregnant.

The idea is that sex - even if it is for the purpose of breeding this time around - won't feel like a job if you're on vacation in a hotel. I think the best thing to do in these circumstances is to take the vacation, enjoy each other's company, and let nature take its course. If you still aren't pregnant after all that, you can see a doctor to find out if you have some other trouble that needs to be addressed. One thing is certain de-stressing is a good thing to do whether you want a baby or not. Stress puts undo pressure on your relationship and your health. Everything is rosier if you're calm. Of course, relaxing is easier said than done. I need a little bit of that zen myself.

Now, I have to ask, would you take a vacation to get pregnant? Do you think that's a good idea?
