Almost 82% of women wish to go for a ‘babymoon’, says a new study. If you are planning to head on a ‘babymoon’, here’s all you need to know.

Before settling down to the demands of parenthood, more and more pregnant women prefer to go on a ‘babymoon’ to relax, according to a survey. As per the survey, about 82% of women said they wish to go on a ‘babymoon’ and the most preferred time is the second trimester.

The survey by travel company Cox & Kings was conducted in metro cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Kolkata, among 1,000 females comprising both pregnant women and new mothers. Babymoon refers to a brief vacation taken by would-be parents to relax and travel before the baby is born.

A majority of the would-be mothers, 77%, want to go with on a babymoon with their husbands and not the entire family, it said.

Cuisine remained one of the most important aspects of such a vacation with 65% of babymooners wanting to taste local food over carrying packaged food or taking a chef along, the survey said. A majority of pregnant travellers (75%) would choose custom-made tours over group trips mostly at all- inclusive resorts, it added.
