Have you been on a cruise while pregnant?

She is pregnant. She is not a delicate flower. She shouldn't expect to be treated like one. The cruise isn't going to hurt her or the baby. If she goes on the cruise and miscarries, it won't be the cruise that caused it. If she is concerned about seasickness, have her pack some gingerroot. That is what the old time sailors used to take for motion sickness. I saw a segment of Mythbusters and they found the gingerroot worked better than the stuff you get at the drug store for seasickness. If she really doesn't want to go, she shouldn't go. But I can tell you this. I regret far more the things I didn't do than the things I did.

Please, no ginger while pregnant without discussing it with a doctor first. It can cause uterine contractions.

As someone, who's had very good pregancies, as far as everyones health. But oh my goodness, I threw up the whole time, everything hurt, I still worked up until the day before giving birth. (Cleaning houses) I can tell you, the last thing I would want to do is go on a cruise, while being pregnant.

She not wrecking it, I'm sure she would love to feel well enough to go. But she doesn't.

Some women sail through, and even tell me, they've never felt better. They would love to carry someone elese kids, because they really honestly don't feel sick, or like the flu.. (they wouldn't want labour again..)
And See, I was sick the whole time, labor was a breeze, both kids 4 hours start to finish, I was in and out, pushed at the most for 5 min, (I think because I was in shape from cleaning)

The point is, were all different.. And her wishes really need to be respected. Only she know's how she feels.

I'm really sorry, your trip is being wrecked, That really sucks.! I know it would be nice to have the whole family together. And I would be sad about, missing my son and his family too. There's few times in life, when the whole family can get together. i'm really sorry, the wee one coming has made it difficult. I'm sure she would love a nice time too. But I don't blame her.
Is it too late to postpone, in a year's time, she will be aching, to just go pee, without a baby crying..
