travelling while pregnant

So, I am 8+4, I am going on vacation next Friday. I know travelling pregnant is fine (I did it with my first) but I'm travelling to a place w/ Zika.

I've done some research and they are a Level 2 risk (take precaution) but there have been 3 documented cases contracted from the island (30 from outside the island), there are a bunch of precautions about where to sleep (we're covered), insect repellent (containing DEET and other stuff)

Apparently they have been fighting Zika for a very long time and they've been doing very well & travellers are monitored and taken care of

That puts my mind at ease a little but I'm reluctant - has anyone travelled with this worry due to something out of their control?

I have been in school for a solid year w/ a 2 week break and this trip has been planned for months & I don't know the next time I will get to travel, but I don't want to be selfish either.

Please no rude comments, I'm only looking for advice.

Thanks.
