'Treat' things to do in last month without baby

[clementine100]

Hello! So I'm 32 weeks, and looking for ideas of simple 'treat' things to do, either on my own or with my husband, before the baby comes and we are busy busy busy.

I'm thinking things like going for a manicure, spa, haircut, nice day off with husband to galleries, etc.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

We went on a spa break for a few days, went on a few date nights and basically just relaxed in the house in peace haha! X

Get a pedicure. You may spend a fair amount of time in compression stockings, you may as well have lovely toes :)

Movies at the cinema! Going to see bands (exhausting but I have such great memories of seeing bands at 36 to 39 weeks with my first... Had to stand at the back and be careful)! Eating breakfast out with a magazine and no other plans. Long lunch with friends.

I went for a facial and do not recommend, I was so bloody uncomfortable!
My dad came up for a week before the baby was born and we spent the week together which was lovely, he rubbed my feet, my husband hates feet so a total treat, when I was young I was an avid horse rider and would get home tired and with freezing toes and it’s just such a comfort thing that makes me feel little and cared for!

Sleep! Get all the washing done. Chill out, leave the house when you like, stay in bed, eat what you like when you like, drink hot tea, long shower, hot bath.
Seriously these are the things I miss the most.
Lots of dinner dates if you can afford it, you’re probably so excited to meet your baby but enjoy the last of the you time.

So many great ideas, thank you! Keep them coming, mummies 🤰🏻

Sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep.

Seriously, my biggest regret about pre-labour maternity leave (4 weeks) was that I did not make myself nap every single day. Instead, I watched crappy TV and mooched on the Internet. What was I thinking?!

Spend time doing nothing, with no demands on you. Read a mag, state out of the window. Whatever floats your boat but revel in it.
Book in a couple of treatments, lvl lashes if you can afford it, brow shape and tint (or HD), gel toe manicure, bit of reflexology.
Bulk cook meals for the freezer.
Luxuriate in all of the time you have and give each other lots of hugs, there may be tiredness and resentment for a little while once baby is here so be lovely to each other now and remind yourselves of it when one is up with the baby while the other has blissfully slept through the cries.
Enjoy, the early weeks adjusting to your new normal may be a bit of a slog but so worth it!

Ooh yeah for me it would be:
Cinema
Lunch/brunch out
Galleries
Just doing anything generally on a whim, like spontaneously deciding on the cinema and a meal out in the middle of the day and just doing it without military planning! I miss that freedom.

I don't think it's possible to enjoy any activity in a third trimester body unfortunately. Anything involving sitting, walking, eating, going anywhere or thinking about anything except your own misery. Even naps suck because it's impossible to be comfortable. Hopefully YMMV!

Definitely cinema

Not facials or anything where you have to lie down!

Yy to sleeping. If I had the chance again I would sleep all day. I haven't had a good sleep for over 2 years now and wake up at the faintest noise. So embrace that sleep.

Stand up and walk out the door with a tiny handbag for a spontaneous night out.
