Leave Your Stress Behind
The vacation is to help you conceive so don’t bring over your stress together in the trip. The very least you can do is leave the email, voicemail, laptop or smartphone behind. You can get your work done once you get back. Now all you need to do is to completely focus on your partner. Relax, eat some good food, spend some alone time together and enjoy each other’s company in and out of bed.
To avoid you from constantly checking the situation at your home, it is best for you to make sure that everything at home is taken care of before you go. If you have other kids, it is best to not bring them with you as you’ll need some one-on-one time with your partner. Make sure they are staying with a trusted relative. Leave them with a babysitter or ask help from your parents. This is to ensure that you won’t be stressed and worried about them during your vacation.
Pack Only The Essentials
One can be overexcited and over-prepared. Packing too much will weigh you down and giving you more problems. Believe us, you will regret once you reach the hotel and unpack your massive luggage. You will notice that there are a lot of unnecessary stuff that you don’t need for the conceptionmoon. Here’s a quick packing checklist that you need when it comes to packing luggage – first, you must have your airline tickets, passport, visas and driver’s license.
