Babymoon in Croatia: Time out for two
Pregnancy is an exciting time. Especially before the birth of their first child, parents-to-be experience every change particularly intensely. Once the baby finally sees the light of day, it also marks the birth of a newly formed family. Anyone who has children knows: after that, nothing is ever quite the same again.

Why Does a Babymoon Make Sense?
No matter how old your child is, you remain a mother or father for life. For the first weeks after birth, British midwife Sheila Kitzinger coined the term “babymoon” in 1996. She used it to describe the intense time parents spend with their newborn. Little by little, the meaning of babymoon changed. Today, it is usually understood as the last holiday couples take together before the birth of their child. It creates plenty of space to talk about fears, worries and the future in a relaxed atmosphere, far away from birth preparations.
Expectant mothers can unwind and let themselves be pampered. They can gather strength for the challenging first days with the baby. Besides relaxation, another aspect plays an important role: strengthening the couple’s relationship. Having a newborn is stressful and demanding. Time for romance is often rare, no matter how much you intend to make room for it. After all, it is only natural that the baby’s needs come first. However, the stronger the partnership, the better parents can master every challenge together.
A Good Babymoon Destination: Croatia
Of course, the choice of destination depends on the stage of pregnancy in which the babymoon is planned and on how the expectant mother is feeling. As tempting as long-haul destinations may be, it is still advisable to stay in Europe. Not only because help can be provided quickly and easily in the event of complications and because medical care is excellent, but also because the journey can be short and stress-free.
For a babymoon in Croatia, Hotel Lemongarden is an excellent choice. It can be reached from Split in a very short time. Split is not only home to the airport, but also to a very well-equipped hospital should the need arise. People insured in Austria can also consult contracted doctors abroad; necessary treatments and births are free of charge in emergencies for those with statutory insurance in public Croatian hospitals.
