What do/did you treat yourself to when pregnant?

I'm expecting baby number three, and I'm treating myself to a haircut!

What do you treat yourself to? And how often? (Especially expectant ladies who already have little ones!Grin)

nothing big but dp does tend to bring me home little treats like pink lady apples or other pieces of fresh fruit that is just for me which is nice because he is thinking of me however if it doesn't make it with the maltesers and sharpish I will have to take his head off

Nothing much apart from lying in where I can.

I only spent £50-60 on maternity clothes as I had clothes from previous pregnancy five years ago.

I would like;
A dress for a forthcoming celebration
A manicure and pedicure
A new hairstyle
A car to do school run with dd. Dh will be taking our car to work.
A new wardrobe to help me feel fabulous after having baby.

Those of you wanting bath stuff I recommend neals yard all the way. Beautiful stuff and all natural and lovely too so good for you and baby. Their baby products are amazing.

I had my bathroom refitted when I was pregnant with no2 and insisted on the biggest bath I could fit in my bathroom. I love baths, just as well because DS was a 13lb bruiser my bump would fit into normal baths.

Lovely relaxing bubble baths, tea and cake.

I'm hoping for pedicures and at least one mum to be massage before the end!

Nuxe miel face cream this. Costs a fortune but smells gorgeous and makes my skin look and feel lovely. I spent the last half of my first pregnancy with itchy flakey face excema so totally worth it.

Really want a pregnancy massage but they are always all booked up when I can get a babysitter!

I got my hair done, and a pedicure, but it was awful sitting still for ages and I needed the loo so much it was a disaster..

I got my hair cut but didn't really class it as a treat, more it was time for the thrice yearly tidy up.

I will be treating myself to a pedicure soon, I can't reach my ties anymore and dh refuses to touch my feet.

I did eat a lot of macdonalds in the early days Blush

Since I hit third trimester and wasnt worried that the minimal spices would injure my baby I started drinking soy chai lattes again...so pathetic to be this excited by something that small!

I've now got a nursing chair which is blissfully comfy.

I bought some lovely make up yesterday from bare minerals.

Feeling a bit low today so might have a long bath :)

I bought a house when I was with my 3'th DS and moved in 2 month before due day. Don't do that, too much stress.

Taking 5 minutes in the day just to breath and relax and enjoy being pregnant instead of racing around trying to work out what needs to be done to prepare for my first baby after working later than I should, oh and I signed up late to pregnancy yoga which I rate higher than the expensive hypnobirthing classes I took -a waste of time and money!
