Italian term

dolce attesa

Italian to English Other Medical: Health Care spa treatments
la frase = /massaggio dolce attesa per le future mamme/ il contesto è una lista di trattamenti termali. Cerco un termine inglese che abbia la 'dolcezza' dell'italiano e che non sia "mum or mother to be" che viene usato dopo-in questo momento proprio non mi viene...grazie per ogni suggerimento!

Sembra proprio essere il termine standard anche quando tentano di 'sound sweet':
Massage for expectant mothers
Everyone needs loving touches, security, and warmth. This is especially true for expectant mothers and their babies.

grazie Sara, si forse è questo il termine più usato e chiedo troppo a cercare anche un termine che sia anche 'dolce'!

neutral philgoddard : This sounds a bit colorless for such a nice Italian phrase.

As the Asker said when commenting on the answer below, you need a concise term for the NAME of the treatment, conveying CLEARLY what it is, then you can use any sweet/nice/colourful expressions to DESCRIBE what the treatment is about...
agree P.L.F. Persio : diciamo la verità, l'attesa non è poi così dolce se si soffre di nausee...

all these terms google well- try pregnancy massage and pamper and you will see a lot of ghits.
Note from asker:
yes thanks Shera, pampering is what it is but maybe I'd use it more for the description of the massage rather than it's name
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : Good idea - I prefer your first suggestion, which would obviously have to be followed by the word 'massage'.
