Getting Married in April, Baby due in June, Help with Honeym
Hey girls,
I need some help please. As title says, getting married in April, nearly everything is sorted and hey presto, i've fell pg!! We are both really happy about this as we've been trying for 2 and a bit years but obviously we're a bit shocked. Thing is and luckily i guess, we haven't booked our honeymoon as yet but i'll be about 30-31 weeks when we get married so was wondering if any of you had ideas of where we could go?
I don't want a long haul flight for obvious reasons but wouldn't mind a short haul, eg Italy or something. I know i have to check with the airlines as they all have diffeent policies about flighing in pg but really need some suggestions. Preferably somewhere warm/hot would be nice, other than that no other criteria!!
Thanks for helping

The southern part of Lake Como if fantastic and Lake Maggiore is also beautiful.
The flight to Milan is only a couple of hours and driving is pretty easy if you decide to hire a car. The food is fantastic and the people are lovely.
There's loads to do if you're feeling up to it, or you can sit in a cafe / on the beach / in beautiful gardens and just relax.
There is a fabulous hotel in Stresa on Lake Maggiore that begins with B - I stayed there once for a long weekend and it was amazing - there was a huge double bath in the hotel room bathroom!
What more do you need...

Thanks again x
We flew budget to Milan (Bergamo) with Ryanair. Picked up a car at the airport and drove to the villa which we booked through these people...

You make all the arrangements directly with the property owners and don't pay agents fees so you tend to get more for your money. I've had fantastic holidays booked through this site and the owners seem to be really helpful with recommending good restaurants and places to go.
I can't really recommend any packages as I don't do them. I prefer to book everything seperately - you save money and have more independence.
Good luck!

I did state in my original post about finding out about flying - i checked with virgin and they let you fly up until 32 weeks if you are well, all you need is a letter from your gp/midwife confirming that!! Obviously noone wants to go into labour in a place that they're not familiar with!! Plus i'd never put our baby's life at risk by flying if it isn't safe. Sorry if this sounds rude but i'm not stupid, i'm just asking for some advice on where to go.
Thanks Busby for your info x
It should be warmer than here but not too warm at that time. Also there's lots to see and food is wonderful.
Just a thought, if you have problems with any airlines letting you fly, there's also the eurotunnel, it also might be more comfortable for you too.
I want to go on holiday... All my friends are going skiing in January and I can't go. (
