The threat of the Zika virus has some North Texas doctors warning pregnant women to cancel vacation plans to popular destinations.
It's a warning the Warnock's are heeding.
"I promised to call my doctor and he called me back about an hour later and he said, 'Hey, you absolutely cannot go.' So we canceled our trip that day," said expectant mother Stephanie Warnock. "The last thing I would ever do is jeopardize my baby."
Warnock is six months pregnant.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is urging pregnant women, in any trimester, to postpone travel to Central and South America.
"Even if we went and nothing went wrong, then great. If something did go wrong I would never forgive myself," Warnock said.
Warnock and her husband were scheduled to fly to Mexico on Thursday.
