Appreciating my long suffering oh

I am looking for a cheap mse way to take my oh away for the weekend (in scotland as near to aberdeen as possible)after xmas and new year is over - prob late january - as bump is due March - can anyone help?

He has a patience of a saint at the moment :A - as unfortunately as well as the 'normal' pregnancy hormones racing through my body making me a monster i also have fairly bad antenatal depression.
As a result i cry at least 10 times a day :eek: and threaten to leave him at least 5 times :confused:

Of course i dont mean it (well i do at the time) and i would hate to be without him - he is a brilliant fiance and will be a brilliant dad (he is so excited - its our first:T )

I have went to a lot of trouble with his gifts as its our last xmas alone together and i have been able to save a fortune using the shop to you drop and grabbit while you can boards :T but i really want to do something really romantic and special while we still can.

Money is tight as unfortunately as well as depression i also have spd and have now used up all my f/t sick pay and have therefore dropped a lot of income (earlier than we anticipated).

Thanks in advance.

ps if anyone else has suffered badly with antenatal depression it would be great to hear that you came out the other side. The closer the bump's arrival gets the more i am stressing that i won't cope - a vicious circle

    We've had a great deal from the Aberdeen Marriott before using Visa special offer to pay for it- but they are doing Stay for Breakfast Rates for £74 a room, might be cheaper for your dates, the pool is lovely, it is out nearer the airport in Dyce- but an easy drive to get there.

    Hi Kitty - I suffered terrible with pre natal depresssion when I was pegnant with my first. I was only 18 and although I wasn't my own I was scared. I didnt think I would know how to look after it, I was frightened how I was going to cope with the huge changes in my life etc. All I can say is talk to other mums that you know, your doctor and midwife about your fears. I can honestly say it all comes naturally when the baby is here and after a few weeks you will wonder how you could have ever been scared.

    Sounds like you have a lovely OH - good luck for the rest of your pregnancy x x
