Spa day for pregnant people at centre parcs?

freddie_2

Off to Whinfell next week and just called Spa about treatment/time at spa.
Only thing I can do is a massage and lunch package at 75 pounds!
I think I had at some stage read that they dont a special rate for just time in the spa with no massage if you are pregnant but the lady said no and this was my only option.
Looks like I wont even get to try the spa at this rate, any one any ideas about the cheaper rate or have I dreamt it!

Also any advise for a 32 wk pregnant woman at centre parcs, whats good to do?

Hi I was 12 weeks when I went to Whinfell and I wanted a pedicure. Their spa is lovely! I rang to check ok with spa before I booked it and they said yes it is ok. I had the express pedicure and it wasn't worth it - she only painted my nails! Didn't even wash my feet! Then I waited half hour to let the paint dry (their relaxation room is lovely to wait in!) but the paint smudged when I put my shoes back on - they said I could go back but I didn't bother.
However, I wish I had known all this and I would have had the more expensive pedicure and hung around for longer as they were in no hurry to get rid of me.
I love pedicures when pregnant.
I am looking for somewhere to have a pregnancy massage now but not going to center parcs again for a while unfortunatly.
All I can suggest to do is chill and visit the spa...oh and the swimming pool altho you have to avoid the spa pools etc.

Can't they do it without special oils?

I had the most blissful Beautiful Bump treatment at Champneys when I was something like 34 weeks with DS. I think she either just excluded my bump or I think actually she just put some cream over it and wrapped me in towels and let me relax after I'd been massaged just about everywhere else. Feet, back, head...

I remember specifically that she didn't use any fragranced products.

Best money I ever spent. What a shame if they won't do anything for you - when you're feeling huge and unattractive it's the best remedy

The lady I spoke to at the spa said the massage was the only thing I could do and they would not allow just day access as I could not use the facilities so the massage made up for missing the pool etc.
I didnt fancy the massage as she said it was on your bump and I really dont want someone touching my bump.

Might call back and see if they know about the 5 pound day rate, does anyone know if it is still available?

Hi, they definitely used to offer reduced price spa sessions for pregnant ladies last year. I went to Sherwood when I was about 12 weeks preg, did the World of Spa and I think it was £9 for my entry compared to £30ish usually. Not much I could use though, footbaths, one very mild temp room and the pool but I had to stay away from the jacuzzi area. DS was in the kids club so I was just happy to enjoy the peace!
Hope you enjoy it, we came back from Whinfell a couple of weeks ago. I love it and we'll be back in Dec!
