Prep like a Celeb with Baby Week at Peter Island

These days it seems all the celebs are popping out the little ones, and if you are part of the trend, then you might be interested in this awesome pampering package for mommy and daddys-to-be at Peter Island Resort -- where you can de-stress in paradise.

Peter Island Resort is the largest private island in the British Virgin Islands and developed the special program "Baby Week" for expectant parents. It includes a course given by Charlene L. Stokamer, MPH, MSN entitled "How to Relax and Have Your Baby." (We just hope she isnt advocating a 'silent birth' as 'relaxed').

The Baby Week program is offered in small intimate groups and includes:

- Five (5) two-hour sessions,

- A pre-natal massage for mommy-to-be,

- A deep tissue massage for daddy-to-be,

- Nightly themed turndowns,

- and proven relaxation practices for the couple.

Also included are three meals daily and assorted activities. Optional classes for couples are available: lactation management (!), breast-feeding and baby care. If you are like the celebs and have your c-section planned for August or later, then this could be the perfect Mother's Day gift - the program runs from July 15-20, 2006 and starts at around $3,300 for five-days of perfection.
