Baby Shower Gift Of The Week: Prenatal Massage

Most baby shower gifts are for after the little one comes out, but ask any expectant mother and she'll tell you that she could use a little attention. So why not show the bearer of child a little love and get her a gift certificate for prenatal massage from a local spa? It's wise to call ahead and make sure that they have a therapist on staff with experience, but the gentle hands of a gifted bodyworker can make many of the atrocious aches of motherhood fade for a while. And if the little one is late, there's evidence that massage can ease the transition into labor - which could be the greatest gift you may ever give.
