Zika?

Question

My husband and I were trying to plan a cheap beach get away before our next baby comes... we have a 10.5 month old now and haven’t gone anywhere since we’ve been married almost 3 years ago. Baby’s due in late may/early June if they let me go that far... anyway, is Zika still a high concern? We were looking to go to Rivera Maya in Mexico. Even somewhere in the Caribbean, or a cruise. I just need a beach and somewhere warm. Is it really that high of a concern still?

Answer

It’s a level 2 area for the Zika virus according to the CDC website. Personally I wouldn’t risk it. My husband and I canceled our Bahamas vacation a while back due to Zika concerns. A couple weeks of vacation wasn’t worth risking the lifelong turmoil of a child with the Zika virus to us. If you want to go to a beach, there are so many awesome options within the US, where you wouldn’t be putting you or your babies health at risk :) I would just stick with one of those. Congratulations on your growing family!

Answer

As far as I’ve heard, Mexico is a HUGE no go destination. It’s one of the bigger concerns for Zika.

Answer

Zika is still a concern 🙏🏾

Answer

Resorts in Mexico spray about 2-3 Times a day. I was there in July and didn’t see a single mosquito.

Thank you everyone for your advice and input! It’s greatly appreciated!

Answer

There are certain areas in Mexico as well as many other places that are Zika prone including in the US. You may refer to the CDC's website as they have a map and keep findings updated regularly. My husband and I had our babymoon in Rivera Maya in September 2017 when I was 26 weeks. There was not a mosquito to be seen and we were fine. I had done research and due diligence prior to arranging our travel. I am so happy we took our vacation and didn't listen to all of the fearful people who told us we shouldn't especially because there is a high Zika risk in the state we live in so I could not understand the big deal🤔. I would suggest performing research and doing what you believe is best.
