Just a silly question - I tend to paint my toenails every 2 weeks or so, I just always have. At 23 weeks it's starting to be pretty awkward! Thinking I need to start going in for pedicures instead!! (Oh, darn!)
How long did y'all make it on your own before handing over this task to someone else?

I'm hitting 34 weeks tomorrow and just the other day I declared it the last time I'm shaving and dealing with my toenails until after the baby is here. I don't know if I'll get a pedicure, but at this point I don't even care, lol

I've been too lazy to do my toes myself for a while now, so I've been getting pedis since before I was pregnant, and I'm still going. Just got one done on Friday!

My first pregnancy I did them till about third tri. This time I stopped early second because I figured it was winter anyway. I was just thinking I need to go in for a pedi though sometime soon before d-day!

My husband did them for me at 35 weeks when I was feeling like a heifer and couldn't reach anymore.

@mediagirl: @Bao: Hah, that's awesome that your husbands do it! I could probably ask mine to but it would perhaps not be very accurate.

I started getting them at around 38 weeks. Up until then, I was quite the contortionist!

I did mine until close to the end, then brad did them. He was not especially accurate. But it was sweet.

I did them once a few months ago around 15 weeks.

At first I felt too sick to bend over to do them, and then I got too big to reach... I remember doing a token paint of them when I had to have a cervical swab done at the doctors but I did it blind as I couldn't see past my bump and I pretty much totally missed the nail and painted the skin around it, ha ha.

I could still paint them, with moderate discomfort until about 25 weeks. Now, I don't have a chance. I've pretty much let them go the last few weeks, but I am planning on getting a pedicure sometime in the next couple of weeks. Even though they will be covered since it's still cold, I feel like having my toes look nice will make me feel better about looking like a huge glub-a-glub everywhere else.

I think I managed until 33 weeks, but I was uncomfortable and sort of pretzeling myself. I got a great pedicure with my MIL right before I gave birth.

I last did them myself at 33 weeks (2 weeks ago), but both the last 2 times I said would be my last. I seriously think it's time to pamper myself with getting a spa pedi!

@Mrs. Blue: That's how I feel too. I may be in socks all the time but at least one part of me looks nice.

I'm 36 weeks and just did my toes a couple of days ago. It's not the comfiest thing ever, but I'm not sure that DH would do a good job so I manage. I do have him take off the old polish, though.

I did it until about 5 months then I decided I needed pedicure treats for the rest of my pregnancy. It was such a luxury!
