I didn't read any posts that said that they shouldn't go - but I did read some (mine included) that suggested that they might not be as excited about leaving the little one behind once he/she arrives.
In that vein, it might make sense to hold off from making a financial commitment now for an event that might want to be postponed or altered later.
In my household my wife and I value our alone time, and we've gone on a trip for just the two of us every year since the youngest one was a year and a half old. We got a week to be "us", and Grandmom and the boys got a week to enjoy each other's company.
That being said, my wife would definitely not have been ready to go away childless, even for a few days, when either of our boys were that young, and I don't know if we would have been aware of that ahead of time.
Just sayin...
