I "second" the pre-natal massage gift certificates....it comes in VERY handy during the second and last trimesters. Plus, a pedicure is nice when you can no longer reach your own toes and feel extra large!
I was pregnant the same time as my friend, and our husbands went in together to buy us a spa package, so we could go with each other and make a day out of it. It was really nice!
If you like the jewelry route, I got a ring and necklace with my son's birthstone. It is not an actual "mom ring" (some of them look silly, in my opinion). It is modest; bought at a local jewelery retail store, and I just told them I wanted a ring with a citrine (sp?) gemstone and platinum (did not say it was a "birthstone"). Since you won't know the baby's birthstone yet, you could get her a gift certificate or a ring with the promise of adding the gemstone once baby is born.
