We’ve rounded up seven winning spots in the Bay that are sure to satisfy and expecting couple’s cravings. Click through to see them all.

For Old School Pool Time: The Claremont Club and Spa

This Berkeley institution recently turned 100 years old, but thanks to luxurious upgrades and becoming a member of the Fairmont Hotels family, it offers every modern amenity. The pool is the centerpiece, and anyone who has ever sported a baby bump knows how great it feels to soak in a heated pool when pregnant. This gem is just a 20-minute drive from SF, but once you are inside you are in your own little insulated world of pampering. Book an Expecting Mother-to-Be massage at the award-winning spa to break up the hours spent by the pool. Best part? Moving a muscle is optional: You can order meals from the top-notch restaurant, poolside.
