The due date is almost here, so it’s the perfect time for some last minute rest and relaxation  Many couples are choosing to unplug and reconnect with one another before their new baby arrives, and more hotels are now offering packages that cater to this concept of babymoons. “It was important to me that my husband and I have a second honeymoon – a babymoon! – before our first little one arrived,” explains Beth Black, a working mother of two from Chicago. “I knew our lives would change drastically, and I wanted to enjoy our pregnancy and some alone time as a couple.”

Here are seven hotel packages that promise couples a moment of relax before the stork lands.

The Babymoon Package offers a prenatal massage for both the expectant mom and dad, a one-night stay in the room of your choice, dinner at the local Artichoke Café, a bottle of sparkling cider and chocolates in room on arrival, and even a welcome gift for the new baby.
