Pregnancy Guilty Pleasures!

hey all! Just wondering what others' guilty pregnancy pleasures are..

I've been getting regular pedicures! I usually get one about once a month. I know it seems a bit much, but at this point I can't reach my feet very well and it's just so relaxing!

Anyone get facials or massages? Both of those sound amazing too :)

Re: Pregnancy Guilty Pleasures!

  • With my previous pregnancy I indulged a lot in home facials and bath soaks and candle lit baths. This pregnancy I've had a weird issue with tomatoes breaking me out in hives but I've been wanting pizza so bad. I broke down Sunday and loaded up on allergy pills and ate pizza. Soooo.....good.

  • I'm starting prenatal massage every two weeks now pretty happy about it
  • DH usually schedules a massage every 3-6 months for me but we recently moved so I don't have a place , yet :(. I love pedicures and facials but I have to love the place or people that are doing them to schedule them often enough!
  • I don't want to sound like a buzz kill but expensive pjs after giving birth could wind up covered in blood. You bleed so much after giving birth even if you have a c section. I might save them for a few weeks later.
  • My guilty pleasure is being spoiled with junk food. Usually I couldn't justify 2 candy bars and a big Mac, but now I'm all for it. Also, pedicures! My toe nails grow so fast now it's kinda gross. Lol
  • @AudriannaMaria it's the prenatals lol my finger and toe nails grow fast too.

    @Mizuiro007 glad you were able to indulge in some pizza! I'm sorry you're having that issue this time around.
  • Mine is a weekly stop at a local coffee stand in town. They have amazing coffee and these amazing mini fried donuts. TO DIE FOR. I don't let myself have too much caffeine (even though my doc told me to for my headaches) so I go once a week for my vanilla latte and half a dozen of the little donuts (equal to probably 1.5 regular donuts total). I try and do well with my food the rest of the week so I can indulge and not feel bad about that sugar high!
  • @zavala1215 I figure it just made me appreciate it that much more.

    Yes - eating all the things with no guilt (ok, maybe a little guilt)

  • Pedicures! Massages! TV Time!

  • Donuts! And Lemonade! And being lazy, for the first time in my life I just let myself relax sometimes. I know that once the baby gets here I won't be able to take naps and binge watch reality TV so I'm soaking it all in now.
  • The house we bought is right around the corner from a local trolley car converted into an ice cream stand during the summer.  I'm pretty sure last week we went 4 or 5 days in a row. We've probably spent well over $150 there this summer. There goes my theory of not keeping ice cream in our freezer as a way to stop me from eating it. 
  • @Jenwatson6 being lazy is a good pregnancy guilty pleasure! I find myself lounging quite often and I love it.

    @violetigerlily that sounds dangerous lol

    There are times of day I have to stay inside knowing the temptation from the ice cream truck will be too great. We live in an apartment complex with a lot of families with young kids and there's an ice cream truck that comes around everyday around 5pm. It isn't just during the summer. Last winter they would still come when there was snow on the ground.
  • I get a pedicure every two weeks! And I guess milk isn't a guilty pleasure but it's definitely a pleasure. I go through about a half gallon in a couple of days.
  • Baths!
    It just sucks because my ideal bath temperature is "the devils sauna" as my SO points out, so I need to keep it cooler than I like
    Still love my baths and a good book though ;)
  • Massage every other week, Netflix binge sessions, naps, salty popcorn and coca cola slushies
