Help! Excuses needed for spa weekend hen do!

[Sarah Lou 80]

Hello ladies,

I have a spa weekend at the beginning of August but I won't be far enough along that I will want to tell anyone that I'm pregnant. I don't drink alcohol anyway, so that's ok but what can I say to the other ladies as to why I'm not going to use the sauna or hot tub? I will be able to swim and have my massage still but the other problem is that my boobs are getting massive!! OH just told me they looked fake!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure on excuse but check you can have your massage, me and my sister had a spa weekend a few months back when she was 4 months, and they wouldn't let her have any treatment other than a specific pregnancy treatment!

swimming should be fine. Just watch for a bump if you aren't waiting to tell anyone. You can just tell them that you are having your period or about to have your period and you are having hot flashes so the last thing you want to do is get hot.

Not sure how hot the hot tub gets but you could just say the heat makes you feel dizzy? Awkward one hun. As for your boobs lie say you have been doing boob exercises (that we all know don't really work) or say you have a really good push up bikini/swimsuit on x

bad chest! your on antibiotics as a minor infection and you dont want to go in to the environment in case it sets you off coughing and weezing.

def check the massage we went to center parcs when i was 6/8 weeks and you cant have anything there until 13 weeks. if you skip the spa all together you could say you ahve an upset stomach?

Thanks ladies....think I'm going to have to phone the hotel and check whether they can let me have a different treatment.

I was worried about the bump thing too....I'm already pretty bloated!

Yeah the bump would be my biggest issue. My friend saw me yesterday and commented about my boobs. The are HUGE so I just laughed it off and told her to stop staring.. LOL. Calling the hotel will be good. Then when they can get you to other things cause some of the other girls to do what you are doing

By my calculations u would be 12 weeks by August? But u can't get a massage during pregnancy either.

Hi

I read somewhere that intense heat such as a sauna etc is best to be avoided during pregnancy due to the rapid increase in your body temperature...don't know if this is 100% fact but thought it was best to mention it x

The timing will be just out which is annoying. The spa weekend is 4th August but I won't have had my scan at that point! Grrr!

Hiya, yes, I have heard this too so will be avoiding the sauna and hot tub. Just worrying about my boobs and bloat now! Ah well, I will wait and see what happens!

I second this - make up some story about how hot tubs and saunas make you feel really sick so you'd rather just stick to the pool

Yup - chest infection meaning you're stuck on antibiotics and drinking makes you sick with them and the hot tub will make your chest worse! x
