"Babymoons"—vacations for expecting moms and dads where they can relax before the baby arrives—are gaining in popularity and many resorts, spas and hotels are starting to cater to the pregnant crowd. The Planters Inn in Charleston, South Carolina will even include a jar of pickles with its three-night $1,399 package.  Other places like the Estancia Hotel and Spa in La Jolla, California provide couples sessions with a photographer, a chauffeured shopping trips and Pilates classes.

My husband and I went on what you might call a "babymoon" right before our son was born. We went to the beach to celebrate our wedding anniversary, but the trip consisted of 10 minutes on the beach, and then back to the hotel to use the restroom, 10 minutes on the beach, and then back to the hotel, and so on. I would advise taking your pre-baby getaway before you are eight months pregnant!
