Centre parcs at 34 weeks. Trike or mobility scooter??

[Lucinda15]

I'll be going to centre parcs in a month and will be 34 weeks pregnant. As I'm getting bigger ive been getting very breathless and tired. Was initially planning on booking a trike (one of the bikes with two rear wheels as easier to balance) but someone mentioned that a mobility scooter might actually be a good idea. I thought it was daft at first, but more I think about it, more I realise it cld be a good option. After swimming, wandering around the village etc I think I could well be a bit knackered (if current energy levels anything to go by!) and although we have booked a lodge close to centre, thought perhaps a mobility scooter would be a good idea and prevent me holding my DH and DS back if they want to whiz along on bikes.

Am I daft for considering it? Part of me thinks it's a bit indulgent and unnecessary (particularly if someone less able bodied needs one!) but then I am beginning to struggle, even the school run is tiring me out at the moment. Has anyone done similar or have any experience/advice?

Thanks.

It really is wonderful that all of these people were able to walk miles, commute standing up the whole way, run marathons etc. But unfortunately every pregnancy is different and just because one person can doesn't mean another will be able to.

Do what is right for you OP, personally I would just take things slower, use the land train (if they have this at your CP) etc. But you should do what you need to do and ultimately what makes your holiday more relaxed and enjoyable.

You shouldn't feel pressured to be superwoman only you know your limitations.

I think it’s a great idea, probably safer than a trike. We are thinking of going in May & I need a new knee (bone on bone now) so will definitely be booking one after much consideration, I wouldn’t be seen dead on one in my home town, people take the attitude you must be on benefits, I haven’t even applied for a blue badge!
