Forum : Pregnancy

Hi there,
I went to Greece last year at 11 weeks pregnant, and had no issues. Just be careful with water etc, as you normally would be, drink bottled water. Not too much sun. I brought flight socks to wear on the flight, and made sure I took a couple of walks on the plane.

Once at the hotel I wanted to have a massage too, and did manage to have one, I told them I was pregnant and they used some natural oils and did a special massage. The travel reps were very good at informing me what excursions etc I could/couldn't do.

We even used it to our advantage and played the 'pregnant card' lol. We had a high floor room (I say high, there were only 2 floors), but the downstairs rooms balconies actually led into the pool and we wanted one. Asked the receptionists if we could change because of the stairs. The manager then said that he couldn't change us as fully booked but instead offered us an upgrade from half board to full board. Cheeky I know, but Im sure we arent the only people to try it.

Enjoy your hols :-)

We are staying in a rented house so wont have non of that luxury, but i may try the pregnant card out and about :) How did you cope with the heat, I'm just worrying I will get really ill, worrying about the holiday but I am sure I will be fine once I get there, and will make sure I only drink bottled water :)
Thanks for the advice xx
