A method is presented for the calculation of the one-body and two-body density matrices and their Fourier transforms in momentum space, that is consistent with the requirement for translational invariance, in the case of a nucleus (a finite self-bound system). We restore translational invariance by using the so-called fixed center-of-mass approximation for constructing an intrinsic nuclear ground state wavefunction by starting from a non-translationally invariant wavefunction and applying a projection prescription. We discuss results for the one-body and two-body momentum distributions of the 4He nucleus calculated with the Slater determinant of the harmonic oscillator orbitals, as the initial non-translationally invariant wavefunction. Effects of such an inclusion of CM correlations are found to be quite important in the momentum distributions.
