When my pregnancy entered the second trimester, my OBGYN asked me if we had any plans to take a vacation. When i said, no, she told me that I should consider it, because, "This might be the last chance in the next few years that you guys can take vacation without the kids tagging along", she said...
And she added, usually, in the second trimester, the pregnancy feels lighter (less vomiting) and the mom-to-be feels more energized and stronger. So, it's the best time to go traveling when you're pregnant.
Well, I guess she's right.
It took us a long time to decide, but finally on my 29th week of pregnancy, we took a long weekend to Phuket, which is about 3 hours away by plane. And honestly, it was one of the best decisions we made. I had one of the best memories from that trip... and not to mention, the best pregnancy pictures! We took a lot of pregnancy pictures at home, but being away from home, both of us in a vacation mode, made the pictures look 10 times better!
So, if you have a healthy pregnancy, please consider a honeymoon-like vacation with your spouse. It'll be super memorable and fun... And don't forget to bring your camera along!
And while you're at it, take lotsa pictures, embrace your pregnancy!

Foto hamil gue adalah... foto karyawan di kantor!! Sampe ganti2 angle untuk nemuin "sudut yang ngebuat pipi gue agak langsing dikit". Menyesal ga foto2 pas hamil. Berarti hamil lagi aja kali ya supaya bisa foto2? :D

Iya thal, glowing bgt hamilnya.
