    Expectant mom’s guide

    Treat yourself right

    That alien creature you’re carrying doesn’t just take over your belly: Your back, shoulders, feet, skin—even your relationship—will feel the effects of your extra weight and raging hormones. Here’s how to pamper yourself back to a state of maternal bliss.

    Note: All body treatments listed here are limited to women past their first trimester. Also, moms-to-be who are considered high-risk should talk to their doctor before getting any therapy.

    Pregnancy woe: Acne! It’s like ninth grade all over again. Plus, all those extra hormones have given you dark blotches on your face—one of the joys of pregnancy, known as melasma.

    Pampering plan: At Edamame Spa, in midtown’s mammoth Destination Maternity center, all- natural products such as crushed pearl powder, seaweed, mulberry and lemon are used to cleanse and soothe oily or oversensitive skin and reduce pigmentation problems. You can follow your afternoon of pampering (the spa also offers pregnancy-specific massages and body treatments) with a shopping spree at the megaplex’s three maternity boutiques and or a little brain-boosting at its pregnancy book club. 50-minute facial, $120–$140. Edamame Spa at Destination Maternity, 575 Madison Ave at 57th St (212-588-1990, edamamespa.com)
