Is it safe to travel to barbados for a month when pregnant with the zika virus over there?

Dangers of Zika: Well Zika is endemic in the Caribbean, so you are taking on some risk. In fact, our CDC recommends that pregnant women DO NOT go there. If you must travel, talk to your doctor first and strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites during your trip. Because Zika can also be spread by sex, you have to be very careful of that too (not just mosquito bites!). Hopefully you can get more info.
