How to celebrate 10th wedding anniversary in our situation...

Me and DH will have been married 10 years in April and would like to celebrate with something abit more special than just an evening meal/day out etc.
However I am due to have our 3rd baby in May so will be heavily pregnant.

We don't have much support network around to care for our daughters especially overnight.....only really my mum who is good and willing but in her mid 70s and can only do so much.She might have them for one night at ours though perhaps.

So due to the above factors and money being fairly tight an anniversary party or holiday are out the question.

Would love a night away with just me & DH as we have never had that since our first daughter was born in 2017! And after baby arrives would probably be impossible for a long time.

However DH wouldn't be really into a spa type retreat and i probably wouldn't be able to get treatments at somewhere like that anyway due to being pregnant....did think about a night away sightseeing in London but not sure if it would be abit much/risky that far along.
Also we might be going there the month before to watch a show for daughters birthday.

Any ideas what we can do that is special and abit different to the norm, but not crazy money and fairly relaxing, and wouldn't mean being away more than one night?

We live in the East of England.

Thanks in advance :)

Just have a night away in a pretty town nearby. Lovely room, nice dinner type of thing. Maybe see a play or a film. You’ll hopefully have other times for a party.

if you did want a spa treatment there are pregnancy safe options, I went to a spa that offered those.

otherwise a night away somewhere new and different, I’d opt for a restaurant with rooms so you can snooze…

I once came home after a shitty day, talked to a friend, called a local hotel that has a pool and ended up there for the night. In the hotel, we didn't sleep in the pool.

Interested in this thread?

We're in an almost identical situation but with two children instead of three but newborn and two year old at the time of our 10th anniversary. We've just booked a couple of nights at the seaside as a family, could that be an option?

I’d 100% go to a spa. I had a couple of pregnancy massages and they were brilliant!
