I am considering going on vacation to costa Rica for my anniversary, but my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year. If I get pregnant between now and July, will I need to cancel my trip due to Zika? Also, are natural hot springs ok while pregnant?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. If the area you are going is endemic to zika virus better to avoid if you become pregnant before going there because zika infection will be more serious in pregnant women and can lead to microcephaly in baby. And also we cannot exactly predict what will be  the effect of hot springs on pregnancy, so if pregnancy is confirmed before going there better to avoid hot spring bath as much as possible. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
