103 (Level 1) I would say that whether or not it's safe should be determined by your doctor. Now whether or not, it will be enjoyable or worth it is a personal question. I actually went to Cancun when I was almost 2 months pregnant and I regretted it. I went in August and although I wasn't that far, the heat was unbearable even while swimming so I spent a lot of time hiding indoors. This also prevented us from doing any tours, etc. We had an all-inclusive so we obviously tried to eat at the hotel as much as possible, but the food there just didn't agree with me. Of course, I also wasn't able to drink either. Not pregnant, this would have been a dream vacation for me. Guess it depends what type of pregnant woman you are! Hope this helps :-)

Answer 6

Werent you just a month in your last question.. and now your 5...

WOW!!!

LMFAO....

Answer 7

umm on ur other post u said u were 1 month pregnant.....are u 5 months or 1 month?

Answer 8

If you are staying in the hotel for a week or so, may I highly recommend that you do go bright and early and explain to the waiters that you are pregnant and that in case of a tossed green salad, what can you have in  its place? Normally the restaurant will offer you something due to that you are pregnant.

Also, try your very best to keep yourself in the shade this way you are protecting not only yourself but as well the life of unborn baby.

Answer 9

No because traveling is very stressful and while the local area is nice the foods, water and local people may harbor diseases you are not immune to and that could put the baby at risk. Most cruise ships won't let you on around that time frame because of those reasons.

Answer 10

I would say yes, but with a few notes of caution. First is that you should speak to your doctor about precautions you can take to stay healthy on your trip. I recommend drinking bottled water and to avoid eating salads and pre-cut fruit. This is because the local water is different from what you are used to. There is no point in exposing yourself and your unborn child to microrganisms that may disrupt your system(s). One other word of advice, I would avoid taking tours and day trips that would bring you out of the Cancun area. There is no point in taking any risks and putting yourself in situations where you cannot get to a doctor or hospital if God forbid you need quick medical attention.

I hope you find this to be helpful,
