Having a new baby in the house changes your family’s life, whether it’s your first or fifth. Those first three sleepless months with a newborn are hard work… and then the next three months… and the next three… and the next. It’s not uncommon for families to spend more time at home during the first year of having a baby, just getting adjusted to the addition of another person who requires lots of attention.
It’s because of this that many parents-to-be choose to get away on a pre-baby vacation. Known as a “babymoon,” the trip often includes a special pampering for mom before baby’s arrival. Consider one of these babymoon ideas for prenatal pampering.
