There are great baby clothes in Paris!! Check out the area south of the Parc Luxembourg (south of Rue Auguste Comte) where there are lots of children's clothing stores. Buy the clothes a bit bigger than the size on the labels since the sizes run smaller than in the US (maybe the french bebes are born smaller?).

I second the advice to bring comfortable (and BIG) shoes since your feet will be swollen. have a great time. and don't worry if you accidently eat something you aren't supposed to, you'll see french pregnant women eating everything we are told in the US not to eat.

Thanks, Sally30, for the shopping recs...I can't wait :)

Hey....CONGRATULATIONS...I traveled to Italy and Greece when I was almost 7 months pregnant. No problem - I always like to say that I climbed the Acropolis at 6.5 months!! My only problem was getting milk in Europe. It's not readily available. But all in all, I had no problems. HOWEVER, that was 27 years ago - I'm not sure the docs today are so 'willing' to let you travel so far along.

usf: I just got back from Paris with my mom, and we found the same thing about the milk! We will be about 20 weeks along when the trip comes, so hopefully the doctors will say it's okay!

Ummm, milk is readily available and in every single grocery store in France, Italy and Switzerland (where I live). Don't know about London though.

"My only problem was getting milk in Europe. It's not readily available."

???Every single grocery store in every European country I have visited has milk. Where have you looked? In some countries it is a "fresh product" that goes sour fast, so it is stored in cold, some have it manipulated so it is kept in room temperature.

You'll need a letter from your doctor for the airlines, outlining how far along you are, and that you are fit to fly. I flew at about 26 weeks, and wasn't asked for my letter, but the airline can bar you from the flight if they ask for it, and you don't have it.

Also check with your health and/or travel insurance company that you are covered if there are any pregnancy-related problems that you receive treatment for overseas. You should be fine, but it's better to check.

My doctor told me to take half of a an aspirin the morning of the flight, and to wear these awful support stocking things. They were pretty uncomfortable, but preferable to death.

I went to Paris when I was pregnant, but didn't have the long flight as I was living in Ireland at the time. Didn't have any problems, except I missed not being able to drink wine, or more than one cup of coffee a day!

I traveled from Ireland to the US (and back again) while pregnant, and then went on separate trips to Paris and Rome. I did get tired, but we still had a great time, and my husband made up for me not being able to drink!

Ann: Thank you for the tips, they are very helpful! I appreciate it!

You can definitely get fresh milk--full fat, semi-skimmed, and skinny--at any supermarkets or convenience stores (such as M&S Food or Tesco Metro). In continental Europe, you might sometimes have to look for long-life tetrapak ones but finding milk is easy. Skinny is ecreme, semi-skimmed is demi-ecreme, full fat is entire in French (sorry my system can't do the accest signs).
