BABYMOONING WEEKEND AT MACDONALD BERYSTEDE HOTEL, ASCOT

Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 June

The Macdonald Hotel & Spa, near Ascot will be hosting its first babymooning weekend on 16 and 17 June with The Baby Gurus, a luxury five star antenatal education service for parents-to-be.

Preparing for a new baby is one of the most exciting and important times of a woman's life. Now mothers-to-be can indulge themselves as they wait for their new arrival thanks to The Baby Gurus who are bringing together luxury hotels with the finest antenatal expertise. For the time pressed, and those who simply want to take time-out to enjoy their pregnancy in beautiful surroundings, The Baby Gurus Macdonald Berystede weekend will offer antenatal training for expectant mothers and their partners.

Set up by a midwife and an experienced childbirth educator using a combination of short presentations, group discussions and practical skills sessions, the Babymooning weekend covers all aspects important to late pregnancy, labour and the early days with a new baby. Talks from other pregnancy and birth specialists are interspersed throughout the weekend.

Groups are limited in numbers so there is ample opportunity for questions and discussions on issues that are important to the individual. There is also an aquanatal exercise programme in the hotel's heated pool ideally suited for pregnant women who can build on their confidence and fitness over the weekend.

Mothers-to-be and their partners can also use the facilities in the Macdonald Berystede VITAL Health & Beauty Spa which includes a new indoor/outdoor hydro-therapy pool, 18 metre indoor pool, thermal suite, Technogym, relaxation area and six beauty studios offering pamper treatments for men and women using luxurious Carita and Decleor products from Paris.
