Florida has always been one of the best destinations for a relaxing vacation, which makes it great for a babymoon. Three cities in Florida were named some of the best destinations for expecting parents looking for one last getaway. Babymoons are a take on honeymoons. It's the last vacation parents can take advantage of before their bundle of joy arrives. Babymoons are perfect for sleeping in while you still can, indulging in quality time, and resting before welcoming the baby. Travelandleisure.com made a list of 25 destinations around the world that are perfect for a last vacay for parents-to-be.

Traveling is expensive and can be tricky in the third trimester of pregnancy. It's best to plan your babymoon while in your second trimester (around 14-28 weeks.) It's always best to consult your doctor before making any big travel plans while pregnant. Here's the list of best babymoon destinations in the U.S..

1. Tucson, Arizona

Warm weather and wide open spaces make this a great wellness getaway destination. Travelandleisure.com recommends staying at Miraval Arizona, the premier destination spa in Tucson.

2. Cape Cod, Massachusetts

With over 500 miles of pristine coastline, couples can relax on the white sand beaches; stroll through the town and get one-of-a-kind baby gear at the local shops.
