Advice needed - we need sun in April!

I have been searching the internet for a sunny holiday but can't find one. I am pregnant (12 week scan happened today) and working till 31st March so can't travel till early April. I will then be 32 weeks pregnant. I need somewhere with sun so I can lie with a book (big wistful sigh) but with childcare so my 3 year old and my 1 year old don't get bored. After June, my relaxation will be over. I need a break but I can't work out how...???

All inclusive with a children's club. I'd stay pretty close to home too, you'll be quite pregnant by the time you go.

I wouldn't recommend long haul that late in pregnancy and bear in mind that airlines have different rules and requirements with regards to flying in pregnancy. After around 26/28 weeks you will need a doctors/midwives certificate saying you are fit to fly and you'll also need to make sure you have adequate insurance.
Hope you have a lovely holiday once you know where you're going

You will need a cert after 28 weeks, but a lot of airlines will refuse to carry you at 32 weeks or more.

Also at that time of year youre looking at at least 4 hours on a flight, which isnt great at 32 weeks, theres no guarantee you'll be up to it.
Im at the end of my 3rd pregnancy which was hell from about 20 weeks up to 29 weeks where I had to give up work, previously had worked to 38 weeks and 35 weeks.

Either go earlier taking some holiday time or go after baby comes.
