Is there a best season for a babymoon trip?
Actually, one cannot decide their babymoon according to the season. Like they say – winter is the best season to travel, but it isn’ the case with babymoon, right. You can plan a weekend-long trip on your second trimester (after 12 weeks of pregnancy). Traveling overseas is especially not advisable during your first 12 weeks.
