Weekend Away Suggestions - Pregnant Woman Friendly
Hi Ladies!
My boyfriend and I are looking to escape home and work for a few days next month and are desperately trying to find somewhere in the UK for a weekend away.
Ideally 2-4 hours from Nottingham (most of England prob), pregnant woman friendly but I'm okay exploring a little as long as places to rest/shop/eat lol
Any ideas would be very welcome!!!!!!!!

I too have been racking my brains. Without sounding like an alcoholic (or should i say i know i sound like one) when we normally go for weekends away we like to enjoy abit of a pub crawl, but obv thats a non starter at the moment!
How about somewhere like York, you could go to bettys for cream tea, do a ghost walk, have a bit of a shop. Or else somewhere like the derbyshire dales for a bit of a cosy b&b, nice restaurant, and walk in the dales. Hope valley is lovely, not much in the way of shopping though.

Or you could always go to Skeg and spend your lifes savings in 2p machines and eating doughnuts lol!

As I'm already eating my ever increasing body weight in chocolate I'm trying to avoid the doughnut delights of Skegvegas lol!
Stratford is looking good although I quite fancy the spa - the other half isn't too bothered though (I'll work on him for a few more days!!) and I'll check out Wales, I often forget it's only a few hours away
Bath is also a nice place to go for the weekend, the baths are really interesting and there are some nice places to explore nearby too.
However if you want somewhere with plenty to do and see I don't think you can beat a weekend in London, there's so much on offer!

I had a broken collarbone so was a bit concerned but never felt threatened in any way and had no problems
The spa is lovely and i think you are allowed to go when pregnant as long as you have a note from the doctor saying you are healthy
(you wont be able to go in the steam rooms but the pools are all at a warm - not hot - temperature)

There are a number of places that do an excellent cream tea and it's wonderful for just relaxing and admiring the architecture
My hubby has promised we'll do a weekend in Scotland or the Lake District before the baby (we've just bought a 4x4 and i suggested the alps but he wants to stay in the UK) - i've agreed on the basis that we stay somewhere with a spa so i can be pampered and he can play golf for one day
i found this blog which had quite a few good ideas.... i particularly liked the one set in devon

I'd also agree with Stratford (we're about half an hour away from there and often go for the day) and my sister lives in Bath, which is also a great place to visit, but is possibly the worst place to drive in the entire world!
