The chicest new accessory in Hollywood is officially the baby bump. Celebs have been busy creating their offspring lately it seems. We’ve got it covered this Spa Week with our $50 treatments! All pregnant moms-to-be deserve pampering and we have just the spa for them.

First, let’s discuss the many benefits of prenatal massages. They include:

• Relieving headaches
• Relaxing muscle tension
• Reducing fatigue
• Alleviating backaches
• Relieving leg cramps
• Reducing swelling/edema
• Relieving pain
• Enhancing sleep

They also have been known to contribute to shorter labor and reduce the need for medication resulting in a quicker recovery. What woman doesn’t want that? If you are pregnant, speak to your massage therapist. It is NOT recommended during your first trimester. Here are some fabulous spas we think these pregnant celebs should visit this week…

Beyonce  Jay-Z are expecting their first child in February. Jay-Z now has 99 problems and a baby is one! For Bey we’re going to recommend:

Origo Spa Lounge in New York, which is offering a 50 Minute Full Body Massage for Mother to be that uses an assortment of oils to reduce stress, improve skin tone and soften skin texture.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are adding a new member to the family. She is expecting a boy early 2012. For Jennifer we recommend:

A Better Body Salon and Day Spa in San Diego, California which is offering a 90 Minute Pregnancy Massage.

Hilary Duff is expecting her first child with hockey husband, Mike Comrie. For her, we’re going to recommend:

The Massage Garage in Culver City, California which is offering a 75 Minute Pregnancy Massage.

Keri Russell, of Felicity fame, is expecting her second child. For her we recommend:

Massage Envy’s 50 Minute Happy Mommy Pre-Natal Massage.

BodySense – Holistic Spa & Wellness in Miami is offering 50 Minute PreNatal or Post Partum Massage. So she can get a massage before the baby and then come back after for relief!

Super Model Niki Taylor is expecting baby number 4! For Ms. Taylor, we recommend:

Bella’s Day Spa in Illinois is offering a 60 Minute Prenatal Massage designed to increase circulation, alleviate tired muscles, improve skin elasticity and reduce water retention.

It’s official: Our Hot Mom Spa Squad has started a MOVEMENT. The Squad’s goal of spreading Spa Week‘s founding mission of pampering and wellness to ALL moms was encapsulated at our first ever Hot Mom Spa Night on Monday, September 26th, at Spa Merge in NYC. With #50dollartreatments just weeks away, we played host to nearly 80 Hot Moms who were pampered and preened… and some for the first time in (gasp!) 2 years, or even since before having kids. The spa-deprivation madness must end once and for all!

With dad or the babysitter at home, our #HotSpaMoms kissed goodbye to their mom-responsibilities for a few hours and got their spa-rty on! Cocktails by Martini and Rossi mixed with the adorable DJ Jasmine spinning all our favorite hits, it was a recipe for optimal mommy-mingling and a few spontaneous dance parties to say the least. The night lead to many new friendships, and some pretty funny confessions in our Hot Mom Confessional. Your kid did WHAT!?! (Watch the video above for all the mommy dirt).

Spa Merge was truly the perfect setting for our first ever Hot Spa Mom Night. This expansive yet intimate spa in midtown greets guests with exquisite hospitality and an insta-relaxing scent that flows throughout the space. Throughout the night, our Hot Moms were taken to private, candle-lit treatment rooms for massages (OLGA is a living legend) and mini-glow facials (DaDaRocks got his very first one!). Out in the party space, eyebrows were chiseled to perfection by the acclaimed Vicky Langer, and Deborah Lippman manicures with warm Eco-Fin Paraffin hand treatments finished off the transformations.

It’s safe to say we created some new spa addicts.

We ended the night with some great raffles. Congrats to Kami of Working Mom Fence for winning the $425 triple-treatment spa day at Spa Merge (read her post of utter disbelief) and to Gina of Mommy Posh who claimed a $50 Spa Week Gift Card prize.

In the words of Katy Perry last night at the Grammys:

This one goes out to all the Valentine lovers.

While Katy’s “Teenage Dream” might land on this list 10 years from now, we’ll let it slide for the time being. From the bottom of our hearts, here are the cheesiest, most classic love songs of all time. (Your list—we couldn’t resist recycling from last year.) Enjoy, and have a LOVEly night! <3
