Frequently Asked Questions

Get the answers to common queries about the "Solo Babymoon" Pregnancy Retreat

Is this retreat right for my stage of pregnancy?
The sweet spot is your second and early third trimester (weeks 14-35).
Travel is easier than you think: almost all mothers fly in to join us. We deliberately chose our locations near accessible hubs, about an hour from Barcelona airport and about thirty minutes from Lisbon airport, so flights are short and connections easy.
Just double-check with your healthcare provider to ensure you’re fit to travel - every pregnancy is unique.
I am having a planned caesarean. Is the retreat still for me?
Yes. Our birth classes cover every kind of birth, not only a vaginal one: planned and unplanned caesareans, epidural or no epidural, home birth, and every feeding choice.

One session is about caesarean birth itself. What happens in theatre and in what order. What you can still ask for, and how to write it into a birth plan. How to make a decision when someone is standing there waiting for your answer.

Caesarean birth is common everywhere our participants come from, and in some countries close to half of babies are now born this way. There are usually several women in each group preparing for one. Everything that comes after, feeding, recovery, the fourth trimester, is the same whichever way your baby arrives.
What if I am early in my pregnancy and want to wait before booking?
Most women secure their spot early.
You can either wait until after your first scan in week 12-14 and book later if availability allows. But many women prefer to reserve their spot with a deposit and still receive a full refund if they need to cancel more than 10 weeks before the retreat start. ‍This way, you can secure your preferred dates without pressure.
What is included in the retreat?
Everything is included, except flights. Airport transfers at both ends are included.

Is it still valuable if this is not my first baby?
Yes!
Many second-time mothers and even professionals say the retreat gave them new confidence and tools. We actually wrote a full comparison on why this goes deeper than standard antenatal classes. The retreat goes beyond a standard childbirth class. Each workshop is built on evidence-based knowledge, movement and emotional preparation, not more information. One midwife who attended as a participant described it as “the best antenatal preparation, even for me as a professional”. Others talk about the chance to stop, feel prepared again, and approach birth and the weeks after it differently. There is more of that in the stories our participants tell in our Journal.
What food is served?
Food is an important part of the experience.
The retreat offers locally-sourced cuisine prepared fresh by our in-house nutritionist, designed around what your body needs in pregnancy. We also accommodate cravings and all personal dietary preferences so that every meal works for you.
Can I bring my partner or a friend?
The retreat is designed as a solo babymoon for pregnant women. In a world where you are always 'on,' this is the rare opportunity to focus entirely on your own transition. By removing the 'mental load' of partnership dynamics for five days, you return home more present, more prepared, and more connected to your partner than before.
How does my partner benefit if I attend alone?
Your partner benefits too.
After the retreat, you receive access to video courses created for couples, designed to bring your partner into the journey and help you prepare together for the arrival of your baby.

What happens if a pregnancy complication stops me from travelling?
Yes, you are covered: with travel insurance for pregnancy complications, you get a full refund on the retreat fee and your flights.
If you do not already have travel insurance (many premium credit cards include it), we recommend arranging a policy so a complication never costs you the trip.
We can recommend insurance options that typically cover:
• Retreat fee
• Flights and other travel costs
Policies are often a one time payment of 15 to 50 euros and can be purchased online.
Even without insurance, we do everything we can to fill your place, and when we succeed, and we usually do, you are refunded in full. Message us and we will help you choose the right option.
Can I give a retreat as a gift?
Yes, and it happens more often than you might think: partners, parents and groups of friends regularly give a place, for a birthday, a baby shower or simply because she needs it. Tell us who it is for and we prepare everything, from a gift certificate to the finished booking. You can gift a Solo Babymoon.
