I am pregnant, and feeling pretty grim. Will this ruin my spa stay?

Most pregnant women feel better if they rest, take gentle exercise and eat little and often. All in all, then, ideal for a spa trip...

Try to plan your stay at a spa with your pregnancy in mind. Instead of going to every exercise class and eating cordon-bleu meals, adopt a different mindset. Try some sweet-sleep early nights and late mornings. Then add a swim or a walk in the grounds. Eat what you can when you can; call the spa and pre-order the foods that you find easy to keep down.

You may well find a massage helps with your tiredness. Most spas offer a pregnancy massage carried out on bean bags or a specially adapted chair so you don't have to lie on your stomach. Add in a facial, a manicure and a pedicure, and you might just feel like a new you (or even the old you)!
