Thank goodness work benefits covers it. I have a couple of spa dates planned before I'm due at the end of May and I'm treating myself to a couple of hair treatments (conditioning and scalp massages?). </p> <p>@REGBERADAISY: I say get your haircut pre-baby- I'm assuming it'll be pretty crazy postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-97369 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 10:06:53 +0000 lavender 97369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten a couple of facials and I plan on getting a pedicure tonight. At 39 weeks, its impossible to reach my toes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-97275 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 08:13:05 +0000 mamabolt 97275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten one pedicure and one massage (which was a gift). I am dying for another massage but having trouble justifying the splurge. I've also had my regular haircuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-97270 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 07:57:35 +0000 Andrea 97270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, but nothing more than usual. i like to take care of myself, in general, because i'm the first line of defense for my family. i have to be well rested and healthy in order to take care of everyone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-97266 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 07:55:52 +0000 looch 97266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of massages. I also kept my hair cut fresh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-97263 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 07:53:48 +0000 Goldilocks1107 97263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten 3-4 prenatal massages (LOVE!), 2 facials and 2 pedicures so far (31 weeks). Now that at-home pedis are off the table, I told DH that I think my pedis will last about 3 weeks before I need another one. Which means I have 3 more pedis ahead of me before this baby comes out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-97181 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:54:06 +0000 lemondrop 97181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm kicking myself for not using the "pregnancy card" more and taking it easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-97179 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:52:12 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 97179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had a prenatal massage, though I've really wanted one. I just can't justify the cost! I do get pretty frequent manicures and pedicures, though, and I've gotten my hair done a couple of times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-97142 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:18:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 97142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I so did NOT during my first pregnancy and I always look back and regret it. I was in such misery I'd rather just sit and suffer than get up and do something about it. This time around I've already gotten a few pedicures and we did a spa day for our birthday/valentines/babymoon trip. This time around I've saved elsewhere to be able to treat myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-97131 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:08:29 +0000 bpcmarj 97131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got married in November, so before that I had a pedicure and manicure. After the wedding, I got a PWC, but other than that I haven't splurged on anything like that. I am growing my hair out so that I can put it into a ponytail during birth if I want.</p> <p>I figure after the baby gets here it will be time for a pedicure, highlights, and another haircut! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-97084 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:39:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 97084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gone for a few massages, facial (pre scheduled as I get them every few months), 2 pedicures and a spa day at a tea and foot soak house. I loveeeeeee all spa type activities so my husband gave me a few gift cards for Christmas and other holidays to use during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-97060 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 20:23:24 +0000 heffalump 97060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got massages because my migraines were crazy bad. But it was awesome on my back too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-96886 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:04:57 +0000 pastemoo 96886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No,. I got one pedicure, but that was more to help destress from the accident. Haven't gotten my hair down, haven't gotten a manicure, no facials, no massage... I should treat myself better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-96872 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:59:24 +0000 mediagirl 96872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a spa gc I need to use for a prenatal massage. I can't wait to get a little more uncomfortable and then get it. :-) I haven't done anything else, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-96839 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:44:47 +0000 chopsuey 96839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't go to the spa during my pregnancy. I got ONE pedicure at 37 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-96800 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:25:10 +0000 HabesBabe 96800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had one spa day with a prenatal massage (and a nice warm milk bath since I couldn't sit in the hot tub/sauna/steam room). I also bought a Groupon for a cut/color/style that I'll use before my baby shower.</p> <p>My birthday's coming up, so maybe another spa gift certificate is in my future :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-96767 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:14:55 +0000 betsyboop 96767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only fancy haircuts, but no massages or facials. And until a couple of weeks ago I was giving myself pedicures but with the growing bump, that has become impossible so I'm giving in and will pay for pedicures for the rest of pregnancy. My last salon pedicure was the day before my wedding...1.5 years ago!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-96760 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:08:49 +0000 regberadaisy 96760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee:<br /> I am leaning that way as well...I get my hair done at The Professional Salon Academy (cheap!) they also do pedicures haha. So maybe I will treat myself since the weather is turning nice so early this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-96757 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:06:11 +0000 winniebee 96757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Oh I vote get a haircut now! You'll probably be too tired the first few weeks post-birth. You will feel so refreshed if you get one now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-96754 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:05:08 +0000 regberadaisy 96754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far only one pre-natal massage and only because it was a TY gift for MIL for throwing me a baby shower AND I still had money left on my gift card. I can soooo use another massage. But it's so expensive...with baby and house renovations and me not driving which means I have to inconvenience my husband to drop me off and pick me up. :( I'm really hoping my OB can write me a note so I can use my FSA for a prenatal massage!</p> <p>I need a haircut desperately and am pondering if I should get it now or after baby. Will I have time after baby to go get a haircut??? At least now I can hop on the bus and be there in 15... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-pampered-yourself-in-pregnancy#post-96750 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:01:38 +0000 winniebee 96750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have treated myself to a few prenatal massages, one facial, and early on in pregnancy had a spa day (that was pre-scheduled, not b/c I was pregnant). I have only gotten one pedicure and probably get less manicures, not sure why! I definitely plan to get at least one more prenatal massage and maybe another facial. But, I feel so guilty spending money on this stuff! Have you splurged at all on stuff like this? </p>
