Need a procreation vacation?
The latest travel trend offers couples an expensive, yet relaxing way to make a baby.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I was holding out on this one as to not overload you with baby stuff, but now it’s everywhere so I wanted to share the story.
Resorts have started putting together travel packages for overscheduled couples to give them a better shot at making babies. (See the full story.)
According to the Associated Press story, some are offering on-site sex doctors, romantic advice and exotic, erotic food and drinks to put couples in the mood.
The AP story goes on to say, “Even some obstetricians are promoting the trend. Dr. Jason James of Miami said he often encourages couples trying to have a baby to sneak away for a few days, and he often sees it work.”
“ ‘One of the most easy, therapeutic interventions is to recommend a vacation,’ James said. ‘I think the effect of stress on our physiology is truly underestimated.’ “
Two quick thoughts: I’m pretty sure couples have been getting pregnant on vacation for years but someone has just coined a cute name for it and figured out how to market it.
Secondly, it would really stink to pay all that money for a three-day vacation just for baby making and your cycle be off schedule that month. Can you imagine explaining that to your husband?
What do you think? Do you like the idea of a procreation vacation or is it all just a matter of marketing? Do you think the packages listed in the story sound enticing? Do you think it would actually help you conceive?
