Maldives whilst pregnant

Hiii has anyone travelled to the maldvies whilst pregnant? I’m very early (5 weeks + 2) and we have our honeymoon in November which includes 3 days in the Maldives. When we booked i researched zika and it said there was only 1 case in 2016, but I can’t seem to find that info anymore!! If anyone has been or had any advice please let me know ☺️

I went at 28 weeks and travelled back at 30 weeks. Was absolutely fine. Zika is still a risk but tbh that risk is in most places! My midwife said just to take deet/insect repellent with us but tbh, if you’re staying on an island most of them tend to spray repellent through the island during the early hours so I never had to use the repellent, or got bitten. I’d say that the risk is more for Male rather than the actual islands. Also, get yourself some Original Source Lemon and Tea Tree shower gel as that stuff works as repellent it’s amazing!! xxx

We went for our babymoon! Just don't be shy with the insect spray x

We changed our honeymoon from the Maldives to Mauritius because of the risk of Zika. I believe the risk is low but I didn’t feel like I wanted to take that risk x

I went for my babymoon, I was 4 months pregnant and didn’t even know about this zika lol but I live in a hot country so repellent is always on for me xx
