What did you treat yourself to post-birth?

[Littlerayofsunshine]

We're all entitled to some treatment! whether its a nice bath, retail therapy, hair cut you name it. or something even more simple.

what did you do??

I cut off all my hair because I was so miserable.

BOTH times.

sorry! Not very inspiring

the biggest comfiest sanitary pads that money could buy.

I think around day 6 I got 5mins for a shower.

Pate. And blue cheese. And champagne. And a Marlboro Light. Good times, good times.

YY, pate and blue cheese. And LOTS of chocolate - I couldn't keep in down at all, during both pregnancies, and I am a chocoholic!

Didn't have time for a bath (a couple of minutes for a shower like StarshitTerrorise) or retail therapy though ...

Lots of Patè as I love it and couldnt eat it.

I knew I'd married the right man when we got home to a house full of flowers and a bottle of Veuve next to about a kilo of foie gras...

MrsMcEnroe chocolate was one of the only things I could keep down. Prob why dd was so deliciously plump at birth.

I ate about a kilo of runny Brie and crackers that DH and D sis-in-law had brought me (separately)!!

And I had a long relaxing bath with lavender oil every evening for about 2 weeks whilst DH kept DD happy/quiet!!

Wine, lovely wine.

& I got my hair cut & dyed.

Lol @ the confession of a Marlboro light

My lovely mum bought me hundreds of pounds worth of Jo Malone goodies!

Nothing. I don't know why, but I was not in the mood or right frame of mind to be thinking of treating myself. All my thoughts were about the baby, and I guess the only treat to myself would have been to have some sleep!

A huuuuge sugary Starbucks iced mango drink and a million chocolates.

I get Gestational Diabetes.

In my defence, it was only the one! But it was one of the all time great cigarettes.

Frankie, if it helps at all for next time, the champagne did seem to help my dd sleep rather soundly on her first night home, which in turn enabled my cheese and pate orgy.

The karmic payback for my fun was that my dd suffered from colic and I had to go dairy free for two months when she was three weeks old.

Coffee and cake nearly every day to keep my spirits up!

Peanut butter

Actually, just food, any food that stayed down. Hyperemisis wore off around the same time as the anasetic (I know that is spelt wrong!) from the emcs, and hospital tea and toast was like Nectar!

Reeeeeeally rare steak, blue cheese, wine, Marlborough lights and cocktails

Brie and champagne.

One mouthful of champagne after 9 months off is lethal .

Like several others, pate, blue cheese, rare steak and red wine. DD then did not settle until 5am. Wonder if it was the wine or cheese that was the problem.

My goodness. I didn't stop eating any of the above things

Arnica and tea tree oil (oh, and endless stilton sandwiches)
