If you are still TTC it would be a great holiday... this year I went at 17 weeks but if the trip had fallen(It was booked a year ahead to celebrate my bday)before the 12 week mark, I would have postponed it as I had a miscarriage last year and I wouldn't have done anything to risk the pregnancy, that i could have avoided and for me Bali would fall into this category... at 17 weeks I was very careful and had no problems whatsoever and actually think 2 weeks of relaxation set me up really well... eating had its moments but you have to b careful where you eat and forego previous pleasures(mainly cocktails obviously!!!!!)
SO its up to you... there is not necessarily any more risk of miscarriage as such but you are not at home if it happens... Like Sheryl says if you decide to go ahead... after all you might not be pregnant, an early scan would be a really good idea...
Many girls will have travelled before 12 weeks - a lot without knowing...
Also, I was lucky and had no morning sickness but my friend still has it at 27 weeks so I should imagine the smells of Bali would have nearly killed her!
Good luck with your decision making... and baby making!!!
