What to Wear on a Babymoon
For me the key to what to wear on a babymoon was packing for comfort. Traveling while pregnant differs depending on where you are traveling and at what stage in your pregnancy but all the way through pregnancy I would advise packing for comfort. But that doesn’t mean that style has to go our of the window. So here is our babymoon packing list for best maternity clothes.
Pack Comfy Shoes
- Lightweight and responsive 5Gen midsole cushioning
- Skechers Air Cooled Goga Mat breathable insole with high-rebound cushioning
- Breathable athletic engineered mesh upper
- Flexible traction outsole
- Machine washable, air dry
As much as pre-pregnant you might have liked scrappy sandals and stilettos pregnant you is likely to favour comfy shoes especially if you are planning on doing lots of walking or sightseeing. My preference for babymoon shoes were Sketchers Go Walks.
If you are going somewhere warm or to a beach destination then you may need to also pack sandals. My preference for sandals during pregnancy were these yoga mat bottom sandals. They had a good sole but the yoga mat bottom moulded to your foot and were comfortable even if your feet got larger during pregnancy.
Compression Socks
- 🆕【COMFORTABLE DESIGN】 -- Aoliks graduated compression socks for women and men circulation provide 15-20 mmHg of gradient compression, which are ergonomically designed. Prevention and relief of minor varicose veins, relief of tired aching legs, relief of minor swelling of feet and legs. The inner design of the socks is very soft and friendly to the toes. The material is breathable and comfortable, which can keep your feet dry.
- 🆕【ENERGIZE YOUR LEGS】-- Compression socks have been shown to help decrease swelling and pain in the legs and ankles. Graduated compressions' whole purpose is to increase circulation, thus improving sports levels in the body. Another benefit of improving circulation is decreasing swelling and fluid retention. Increased circulation decreases swelling and increases blood flow, this reduces the feeling of heavy and achy legs.
- 🆕【IMPROVED ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE】-- Many athletes are no stranger to compression, in the “RICE” recovery method used by many coaches, the C is for compression! Compression socks reduce the stress on your muscles during a workout or exercise and help your legs recover quicker, which is why they’re increasingly popular on a race’s starting line. Compression socks help to prevent injury from happening, allowing for better quality training.
- 🆕【CHOICE ON MORE OCCASIONS】 -- Compression stockings are very suitable for people who stand and sit for a long time. When you are running, hiking, cycling, long-distance traveling, climbing, pregnant, or on other occasions, compression stockings can promote blood circulation and reduce pain. Aoliks compression stocking combination is suitable for both men and women. They’re actually beneficial for every age group, and wearing them earlier will only help you more!

If relaxing on the beach or by a pool is going to be part of your babymoon then you will definitely want to take a nice maternity swim outfit with you. I personally preferred wearing a Maternity Takini when I was pregnant as I found it easier on those frequent toilet breaks.
However there are also lots of bikinis and one-piece Maternity Swimwear out there. Just pick whatever type you feel most comfortable in.

Wherever you are going on your babymoon I would advise packing at least one formal Maternity dress.

What to Pack for a Babymoon (non-clothing)
Now you know some of the essential clothes you need to take on a babymoon we will know to our attention to the non-clothing essentials.
Sunscreen
- 3-fluid ounce travel size bottle of Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Non-Greasy Sunscreen with SPF 70 for broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection
- This lightweight and sheer sunscreen is fast-absorbing with Dry-Touch technology for a non-greasy, matte finish that leaves skin feeling clean. The face and body sunscreen is formulated with Helioplex for superior sunburn protection for your skin
- The Helioplex sunscreen provides superior broad spectrum protection from skin-aging UVA and skin-burning UVB rays. This sunscreen lotion helps prevent sunburn and when used as directed, may help decrease the risk of skin cancer caused by the sun
- PABA-free and non-comedogenic, this lightweight sunscreen provides powerful face and body sun protection without the heavy finish, making it great for daily sun protection. The convenient travel size sunscreen is perfect for sun protection on the go
- Non-greasy sunscreen from the #1 dermatologist-recommended suncare brand. This sunscreen is also available in both spray and stick form and can be used at the pool or in the ocean for up to 80 minutes of water-resistance
One of the other fun things you don’t realise until you are pregnant is that pregnant women can get sunburnt more so be sure to pack plenty of sunscreen.
If you are going somewhere sunny I would also recommend adding a floppy sun hat to your clothing packing list.
Pack the BioOil / Coconut Oil
- HELPS IMPROVES APPEARANCE OF SCARS AND STRETCH MARKS - Dermatologist recommended and clinically proven for scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone and so much more
- PACKED WITH NATUAL OILS - Vitamin E helps maintain healthy looking skin while natural Chamomile and Lavender Oil calm and soothe

- PLANET & ANIMAL FRIENDLY — Vegan friendly, paraben free, cruelty free, non-comedogenic, and 100% recyclable
- FORMULATED FOR ALL SKIN TYPES - Helps soften skin for all types, tones, textures and safe for use on face and body and won't clog pores
When I was pregnant I was using bio oil like it was going out of fashion to try and prevent pregnancy strethmarks. If you have a routine for your pregnancy belly skincare be sure to pack these.
Remember to Pack Your Medical Notes & Other Important Documents
This is something that you hope you will never need but it is really important to pack your medical notes with when pregnant. Also if you are flying while pregnant your airline may require a letter with your Estimated Due Date and fitness to fly. Be sure to have one that covers you for the flight there AND back if you are going to need one.
If you are travelling somewhere in the Middle East also remember to pack your marriage certificate too
Medicines and PreNatal Vitamins
Be sure to pack any of your medicines (check you are allowed to travel with them) and your prenatal vitamins with you so you can keep to your schedule while you travel. You don’t want to have to rush out and find a doctor or a pharmacy to stock up while you travel.
Note: I always travel with important things like medicines and vitamins in my hand luggage in case of lost luggage.
Water Bottle
Staying hydrated is really important when you are pregnant especially if you are travelling to an exotic beach location for your babymoon. Having a reusable water bottle with you is good for you and the environment.
Fan or Water Mist
- Super Long Life and Strong Airflow: JISULIFE portable hand fan adopts advanced technology, it lasts for 12 hours at 2-speed, 19 hours at 1-speed after about 3 hours of full charge. This mini fan is enough for personal use to keep you cool
- Foldable Design and Mini Size: Foldable design is easy to carry and store. In addition, this rechargeable fan comes in an oval shape (1.3*1.3*4.7 inches, weight: 4.4 ounces), which hides the fan blades, compact size, easy to fit in your pocket and purse
- Power Bank Function and Quiet Operation: The USB output port turns the mini hand fan into a power bank(2000 mAh) in an emergency, providing power for mobile phones. With no frame design, make the noise low to 50db, which causes no disturbance during work
- Flashlight and Wrist String: When the fan is off, long press the power button to turn on the torch function. The light is bright enough to be used in the dark. It also comes with a lanyard, you can hang it on your hand or travel backpack
- Thoughtful Gift Choice: The JISULIFE mini handheld fan as a gift is a thoughtful and practical idea, especially for the summer. This small personal fan will be an essential gift for friends men women moms dads kids girls boys Mother's Day Father's Day
When I was pregnant I definitely found that the heat got to me much quicker than before I was pregnant. Two things that I found really useful when travelling to the beach or a warm weather destination while pregnant was a little hand held fan and also a water mist spray which was great for an immediate cooling sensation.
Bug Spray
Whenever I head anywhere tropical I always carry this with me.
Anything you are craving
If you are craving something while you are pregnant – for me it was salt and vinegar crisps – make sure you pack plenty to take with you just in case your destination doesn’t have an adequate supply.
