Salaam everyone! We went on a last minute babymoon when I was 21 weeks into my pregnancy - last min because 1. we had just moved house and I had unpacked hardly anything at all and 2. My passport was due for renewal and we didn't know if they'd accept my DIY passport photshoot (Alhamdulillah they did in the end!). I've never stayed in a 5 star hotel before, we personally prefer to spend our money on experiences rather than luxury hotels, but since it was such a special occasion we went for this one for the first half of the trip - this hotel was outside of Istanbul, closer to the coast and about 20-40 mins from the old city. It was LOVELY to experience but sadly the pool was not heated, which is such a shame for such a £££ hotel and that was one of the primary reasons we picked this one 🙁 breakfast was the best best breakie ever, choices were endless (I just wish it had stayed open till like 12 lol). I hope you're enjoying the pregnancy series so far!
