one big qn to consider is: is it worth risking the pregnancy to travel now? esp with the covid situation. im sure many mummies also haven’t gone for honeymoon since wedding.. SQ allows up to 36 weeks of pregnancy, after that cannot already. take note of the risks you will be taking.. long haul flights during pregnancy can increase the risk of blood clots/DVT. if you plan to go overseas, do research potential healthcare options and hospitals in case of emergency. be cautious and go to somewhere with good health care and same conversational language so you/husband can communicate effectively with medical teams there. also check how much your insurance covers for overseas healthcare costs. One small note, you will be regarded as a foreigner and maybe treatment towards you might be different (not medical treatment but rather the attitude).
