Hi Ladies,

Did anyone of you travel to punta cana while being pregnant?

Well my husband bought us a trip to punta cana for our 5th wedding anniversary. ( at that time i didnt know i was pregnant)

Is it safe? Ill be 14 weeks when we have to leave. I just did a research and im scared of the Zika.

We skipped over punta cana for our honeymoon because of Zika. It can stay in the men's sperm for 6 months and since it can be sexually transmitted I would skip it.

Did you end up going/are you going to go? We are planning to get pregnant and my boyfriend is the best man in a wedding there in September.

That’s such a relief to hear! I’ve also been doing tons of deeper research on Zika and have actually found a lot of evidence showing that there is no solid proof that Zika is the definitive cause of microcephaly. This with the very low likelihood of us seeing many mosquitoes is making me lean very much toward still going and just wearing repellent. Best of luck in the rest of you’re pregnancy!!

Hey! Yes, we did end up going. Had no issues with mosquitoes, sprayed mosquito repellent all day long. Came back with zero bites :) so i would not worry about it!

Talk to your OB. My husband and I live in the Dominican Republic and haven't seen any Zika cases for a while now. I'm 27 weeks pregnant and everything looks fine so far.

Take bug spray.

Don't go. It's high risk and not worth the potential consequences to you and your baby. I just skipped a trip to Guadalajara that had been planned due to the risk of Zika. My OB strongly advised against anywhere that has a risk of Zika according to the CDC

I would be nervous about Zika ask your oB what she thinks
