Expecting a Spa Experience
Why Are Moms-to-be Heading to the Spa?
By Pamela Allen
The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City has a tempting babymoon package. You are welcomed with a bottle of sparkling cider and a plate of chocolate dipped strawberries, a room with a view of Manhattan and a tempting basketful of maternity products. In addition to the sites of the city make sure you make time for a two-hour visit to their tranquil spa where global healing practices are blended with contemporary techniques. Finally, conclude your visit with a full American breakfast for two (and a half).
At the elegant Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, the Expecting You package starts with a tray of fresh fruit, a baby-themed cookie and a copy of What to Expect When You're Expecting. While you go off to enjoy a prenatal massage package (that includes a free manicure), expectant dads can go to the bar and enjoy a complimentary beverage and cigar. If 
you're feeling a craving, book a visit from the ice cream man who brings a cart with the fixings for an ice cream sundae with a side of pickles and some Tums. Make sure you take some time to do some shopping; your room includes a book of discount coupons for nearby stores that feature an array of baby necessities. When you've had a full day, retire to your room, where a body contour pillow awaits you. Finally, wake up and enjoy a complimentary breakfast.
Whether you choose a day or destination spa, make the time to savor your pregnancy. You'll be glad you did!
