I had a hard time spending $90 on a pillow, but it's been worth it so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1804242 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 17:38:32 +0000 jhd 1804242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carbs! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1804203 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 17:20:29 +0000 Boogs 1804203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@msmug: In some areas there are people that will come to your house to do beauty treatments! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1804132 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 16:53:42 +0000 msmug 1804132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need a pedi. But I'm so huge carrying twins that I hate leaving the house.<br /> I splurged and bought myself a new lens for my camera... Tho its more like an early push present. Hehe. Other splurges include a house cleaner who comes over every 3 weeks, sleeping/napping as much as I can (I love my sleep!) and eating chocolate/icecream/donuts without feeling guilty. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1804099 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 16:43:03 +0000 Boogs 1804099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Rabbit: Someone comes over in a couple of hours, I'm so excited and hope she works out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803864 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:10:35 +0000 emg86 1803864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Regular prenatal massages! Heaven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803857 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:07:51 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 1803857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this! What a great idea about house cleaning- and especially the one about the donuts - haha.</p> <p>I splurged on some post baby body things - like the mama mio skin tight stuff (they have a new version out, so who knows if that one works like the old one) and the belly binder, etc. I got those while pregnant with hopes that those donuts (and french fries, and cheese burgers) would eventually come off - haha - and knew once the baby was here, I wouldn't want to spend money on myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803854 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:04:19 +0000 Littlebit 1803854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I've been getting pedi's about once a month. I used to get them like twice a year - so it's been nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803852 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:03:55 +0000 youboots 1803852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most recently, the most expensive jeans I have ever purchased. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803850 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:03:34 +0000 Espion 1803850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...every time I eat a donut and "justify it" by being pregnant... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803847 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:02:04 +0000 Mrs. Rabbit 1803847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also having a housekeeper come over, hopefully once a month from now until....whenever I can do it myself again! I emailed my husband and told him that I just can't pick up after my daughter any more and sweep/mop. He gave me the go-ahead :) Someone's coming over for an estimate tomorrow! </p> <p>I really need to up the pedicures, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803738 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 14:27:15 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1803738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A mani/pedi!</p> <p>I was going to get a cleaning service but a family member surprised us with one! They're supposed to be setting up the first appointment soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803702 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 14:12:18 +0000 wahine08 1803702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eating out more for sure! I was way too lazy and giant to cook anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803697 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 14:09:54 +0000 Mommy Finger 1803697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One really nice maternity maxi dress. I had a few showers and weddings to go to so this was my go to dress. I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803664 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 13:54:21 +0000 JerricaBenton 1803664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some good quality maternity clothes, mani pedis, afternoon naps! I was all about pregnancy splurges! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803654 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 13:49:14 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1803654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This time I caved and bought a fancy and amazing pair of maternity jeans. I figure that if I wear them every day for 5 months, the cost per wear makes it worth their weight in gold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803644 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 13:46:37 +0000 Meridian 1803644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My splurge has been eating out more!! Nothing fancy, but I generally don't feel like cooking... we used to cook 4 - 5x a week, but now it's down to 2 - 3x a week. Which makes us have to buy lunch more too since we used to always take leftovers to work. So all our money is going to food, haha. </p> <p>But I did have a wonderful facial last week, I had a gift certificate to the Four Seasons Spa which was sitting in a drawer for 3 years! Luckily it didn't expire... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803567 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 13:15:17 +0000 gingerbebe 1803567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a legit prenatal massage and it was magikal with a K.</p> <p>We are getting a carpet cleaning service to come in to do the rugs before I pop and possibly hire a junk hauler to drag all the crap in our garage out, but I don't know how much of a splurge that is. :)</p> <p>I will definitely be getting a gel manicure/pedicure before labor (mostly for our newborn photos) and possibly get a wax if I can handle it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803554 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 13:10:10 +0000 whenoceansrise 1803554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want a mani/pedi pronto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803551 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 13:10:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 1803551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well...I just sent DH a house that came on the market that is perfect for us in the town we want to move too, however this was not in the plan but now we are going to look at it tonight...OH BOY! Lots to do if we start moving forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803539 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 13:05:10 +0000 Amelieisme 1803539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice maternity jeans.

That way I don't feel like a total nasty mess after labor/birth! </p> <p>I've been wanting to splurge on a prenatal massage too; but I usually don't really love massages so I'm still on the fence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803295 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 12:00:42 +0000 LBee 1803295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not a financial splurge, but I'm a lot kinder to myself. Usually if I'm laying in bed at 10 AM on a Saturday morning I'm like get up you bag of bones and stop being lazy - these days I totally excuse it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803281 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 11:55:06 +0000 cheert16 1803281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mani's and Pedi's before my first LO- this time I am ALL about the maid service!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-splurges#post-1803241 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 11:43:15 +0000 derevival 1803241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pedicures and a facial is scheduled for next week!

I'm hurting too much and too tired to care to do it myself anymore. </p> <p>What is something you splurged on for yourself? </p>
