I've had henna before, but pregnancy henna was always an experience i kind of wanted to have. We don't live in an area where henna services are widely available, but we do have a festival (with a henna booth) every memorial day and labor day weekend, so at 36.5 weeks, DH and i went to the Kipona festival where there was no line and I said "I was hoping to henna my big pregnant belly!" and a very nice Indian artist did just that.
It was relaxing, it wasn't too hot or humid and -although i drew a crowd of about a dozen people- my seat faced the river and I got to just chill. All I asked for was something traditional and floral-ish about 5" round.
