Second time mommies please help!!
So me and my husband are wanting to go on a cruise around spring break but I will be about 7 months pregnant. We have been on a cruise last year with my step daughter and loved it. I want to go back so bad! Im worried about how comfortable it will be though being that pregnant. I had a very easy 1st trimester and the 2nd one is proving to be even better. This is my first pregnancy so im a little wary about traveling at 7 months. I will talk to my doctor about flying and all that but im curious about what others have experienced and wether it would be worth going or it will be miserable for me. Please help!

Someone in saskatchewan had a million dollar baby. Went to the states at 6 months pregnant, baby came early.

Most cruise lines won't let you go at 7 months.

I know Carnival will not let you cruise past 24 weeks and they require a note from your Dr.

The cruise I am scheduled to go on in January will not allow anyone past 24 weeks at any point on the cruise to board. It is the cruise line policy. So before you book, make sure the policy states it is alright and that you doctor gives you the all clear!

I didn't have any physical issues at seven months.  Felt great, got around easily, no problems.  I suppose everyone is different, but seven months is not generally a debilitating time in pregnancy.  Presumably the cruise ship has medical facilities and the ability to helicopter someone out if they did have a crisis.  (I would check on the latter, and maybe buy medical-evacuation insurance; those helicopter rides are expensive.)  You could call the cruise line just to be sure THEY don't have rules about how far along you can be.  It's also smart to keep in mind that  norovirus does tend to sometimes occur on cruise ships, and thereforer to keep your hands clean after touching the handrails, etc.
