Any ideas for a short holiday abroad while 31 weeks pregnant

I desperately want to go on a holiday in the last week of July when I will be 31/32 weeks pregnant. I am bit worried as I have been feeling very exhausted already having a toddler in tow. I don't know what's the best thing to do is but want to get any suggestions on any tips on holiday abroad in my situation.

Anywhere that does babysitting, creche etc. Lots of fam friendly hotels eg lanzarote. Short hop, France or Spain. Train to France.

You will need medical clearance to fly I think. Is it worth it? What about insurance? There’s a reason why airlines don’t take women so late in pregnancy. Never mind you being uncomfortable in an airline seat.

Why not have a hotel here with a spa for you? Much more relaxing! Book a high quality restaurant if you can get babysitting. There’s more to life than flying when pregnant.

Thanks for the ideas. I agree flying at this point may not be the best idea. DH is supportive of travelling in whatever decision I take but I feel concerned as I had suspected GD later in pregnancy in my last pregnancy which lead to more hospital appointments later in pregnancy. Booking trip inside UK is very expensive hence I was looking at all inclusive trip to Spain or Portugal. I am based in west Midlands.

Maybe something for fewer nights then. I don’t think everywhere costs a lot here! What were you proposing to spend?

Just to add (I know it doesn't answer your question) but if you do end up having GD then eating out while managing the GD diet is quiet tricky therefore a holiday abroad when you can't eat/drink whatever you want isn't as fun (speaking from painful experience!!!).
Good luck xx
