I was there when 5.5 months pregnant and pretty much relaxed and enjoyed some much needed time out! I found a place that did lovely foot massages and asked them to do it very very softly due to me being pregnant (checked this with my doc in aus first and he ensured me if done softly it would be fine). I also did a lot of reading and watching my hubby drink lots while I enjoyed a bintang each day. Its really like being there any other time except you cant indulge in the drink and just be sure to order well cooked meals and try to stay clear of the fresh seafood (which was so hard for me as I love it!!). Drink lots and lots of water and try to avoid mozzy bites, I took over a natural repellant for newborn babies and it kept them away. I also just a precaution took the name of a aussie midwife that now lives in bali, sorry cant find it now but I got her details from this very forum 2 years ago. And the balinese will take care of you, they were so lovely (like they are all the time) but extra helpful when they saw my tummy and offered me seats, cold drinks and were just so caring. Oh and prob the best part about it is you can wear a bikini, have a fat tummy and not have to worry!! LOL. Enjoy...
