Today's couples know that when it comes to preparing for a baby, there's more to it than selecting a nursery theme and having a car seat and crib at the ready. In fact, savvy parents-to-be realize that once baby arrives-especially if it's Baby No. 2 or No. 3-being alone together will soon be but a distant memory.
Enter the babymoon: a time to relax and reconnect before that sweet bundle of joy makes an appearance and sleep deprivation and diapers settle in for a spell.
Most couples head for the beach when it comes time to plan a babymoon, and with so many things to do and see it's no wonder that the Bahamas are a popular destination.
For couples wondering where to stay, Breezes Bahamas Resort & Spa, the only super-inclusive resort in the Bahamas, is offering a babymoon add-on package for just $200 (minimum three-night stay). The package offers such extras as a room upgrade based on availability (first-floor rooms available upon request), extra pillows to ensure that the mom-to-be can rest comfortably, breakfast in bed one morning and more.
Looking for ideas on how to enjoy your stay? Here are seven of our favorites:
Pamper yourself
Expectant parents should take advantage of every opportunity to pamper themselves before the focus shifts to the baby. Guests of Breezes Bahamas who opt for the Babymoon Add-on Package can enjoy complimentary his and her facials at the resort's full-service Blue Mahoe Seaside Spa. The spa offers a full range of a la carte services, all carried out just steps from the ocean.
Enjoy a romantic oceanside dinner
Carpe dinner! Seize the chance to have a special dinner for two (and a half). What could be more romantic than an oceanside table, personalized service and twinkly stars overhead?
Explore the water
Whether it's floating in a freshwater pool (Breezes Bahamas has three) or bobbing in the gentle waves off the white-sand Cable Beach, mamas-to-be know that cool water is the great equalizer. More adventurous couples can try their hand at kayaking or even sailing with their doctor's permission, of course.

Lounge in a private cabana
Want to feel special? Then rent a beachside cabana for the day. Better yet, Breezes Bahamas offers daily beachfront cabana and waiter service (a value of $50 a day) as part of their babymoon add-on package.
Take in a show
Once the baby arrives, heading out for the night will mean a late-night run to the store for diapers. Couples should make the most of the chance to catch a live show, perhaps one featuring a local steel drum band, or relax at an intimate spot.
Shop till you drop
Pick up a few souvenirs or even something for the baby's room. Nassau offers a host of shopping opportunities from high-end boutiques to markets showcasing the work of local artisans.
See the sights
There's a lot more to do in the Bahamas than sun and swim. Couples shouldn't miss the chance to visit Ardastra Gardens & Zoo, Fort Charlotte, the National Art Gallery of the Bahamas, Clifton Heritage National Park and the Graycliff Chocolatier where moms-to-be can learn to make their own chocolate treats while reveling in the knowledge that they're eating for two.
