Test early - before spa weekend? What risks are there?

So this prob a stupid question but i am going to throw it out there anyway...
OH birthday next week on cd28. Hes been really run down and we have had not much time together over xmas (during the day) so i decided to book a long spa weekend starting on his bday and ending on 15th (cd2 potentially). I clearly didnt think the dates through as the day we go is the day before AF/testing is due. The plan was obviously to relax have a massage, wine and use the facilities including sauna, steam room and hot tub and test if no AF arrival when we get back. Ideally i dont want to test early to avoid any false hope on squinters. But now i hear spas are not good whilst pregnant and there are others online suggesting MC as a result of overheating.

What do i do? Test before i go and if BFP boycot treatments (i obv wont have medical certificate for a pregnancy one) and all facilities? Or wait til i get back? I guess i dont really understand what risks there are?

Btw i appreciate i am probably answering my own questions (i obv dont want to risk anything)
Positive opk 31st dec cd15
Dtd cd8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17

Wow, congrats!

Congrats! Stay out of hot tubs, sauna etc. Lots of bad advice on this thread - nhs advises to steer clear. Warm baths are ok because the temp isnt maintained ie they cool down quickly.

I'm a beauty therapist who offers massage. I don't massage clients who are in their first trimester. However over the years I have had clients that have been pregnant, wanting to keep it to themselves and haven't told me. I've then discovered they are pregnant. I would always advise mentioning it to your therapist. I once had a client tell me she had a skin condition and could I use a plain oil on her, which i done and thought nothing of. Couple of months later she announces she's pregnant. Her pregnancy was absolutely fine but she should have told me as not to run any risks.

And congratulations Smile

Fridgedooropen · 12/01/2017 10:40

Congrats! Book yourself a mum to be massage for after the first trimester!

Personally, I would just go and have all the treatments you fancy- whether hot or not.

It's such an early stage, anything you do or won't do really won't have much of a difference- but that's just my approach and perspective.

TurquoiseDress · 12/01/2017 10:51

Just seen the update- congrats!

Congratulations! Impressed you can hold it in that long with out telling oh lol. Just tell the spa but I would tell him before you get there in case someone lets it slip.
