I miss my pre-pregnancy (fill-in-the-blank body part).

I lurk on the Oct board a lot (since my LO was born that month) and someone made a post about what you miss the most about your pre-pregnancy body. So I'm totally copying their idea for this post. Sooo...what do you miss most about your pre-pregnancy body???

I miss my flat tummy...I hate the pooch I have now and I hate how soft it feels.

I also miss my boobs being an appropriate size for my frame. They're too big now. I miss my nipples being normal and not large/hard all the time. I also miss them just being my boobs and not a source of food.

This. I feel exactly the same!

I miss not having stretch marks on my stomach, hips, boobs, and legs.  I got hit HARD by the stretch mark fairy...  or witch, really.

I miss my pre pregnancy belly. Not that it was flat or super toned by any means, but I didn't have the muffin top that I have now....

Sigh...

To be honest I love my body more now than I did pre pregnancy.  While I did lose some weight while we were struggling with IF, I had/have a lot more I can lose.  During the first and second trimester I lost weight so now I weigh less than I did pre pregnancy.  Yeah my stomach is all weird and jello like but I'm glad I weigh less now!

I miss everything!  I was the smallest I had ever been before getting pregnant with DS1.  After 28 months of being pregnant, breastfeeding and breastfeeding while pregnant my body is a hot mess!

I hated my body pre preg. I weigh now what I did when I got pregnant, so now it's just regular weight to lose.. Ya I have some pretty bad stretch marks, but they stand for the life I created, so they don't bother me.

I also miss my stomach.I do appreciate my postpregnancy boobs...first time in my life I've ever had cleavage without the help of padding!nbsp;

I'm with you!!! I hate the pooch. Can't wait to get cleared to work out.

But I love the cleavage. Even my mom and sister make comments about my chest. I really only went up a size but its still very noticeable when you have no chest to begin with.

I miss my normal boobs. They were always a decent size and now they are ridiculous and I still don't have a nursing bra i love.
The saddest part is that my weird new shape now reminds me of my mother. Sigh. I'm turning in to my mother...

I can't really complain too much. I was 10 pounds lighter than pre pregnancy weight at 10 day PP check and 17 lighter at my 6 week PP check. I guess there is something to be said for the Gestational Diabetes diet.

However....I do miss my "perkier" boobs....they feel all saggy now. And, the same goes for my tummy....I may be lighter but it sure feels flabbier. Looking forward to getting back to the gym!

I also miss my pre pregnancy stomach. I laugh at the times I thought it wasn't toned enough before, I'd kill for it at it's worst then now.

I miss not having stretch marks that look like a weather mans storm pattern. And I miss my butt. I was allllllll belly when I was pregnant. My belly poked out and my butt flattened. I hate it!!

LuckyMissus

Ditto the boobs and stomach!! And I never ever thought I'd miss my prepg boobs.

My butt looks different, like not as round, not sue why... But it's going to take a lot of squats to get it back!!

Sprite2012

I miss my entire toned and thin body.  Mostly I miss my flat belly. I can't wait to be cleared to exercise.  I want my whole body back!

I miss my hip bones and my flat tummy. I miss my jeans, I've lost almost all the weight, but my shape is totally different and nothing fits.

This, this, and this.

Omg! This totally. I think about how I used to complain about my body....Seesh that was a big mistake seeing as how my body has changed! Ah well, the joys of motherhood right!? We have warrior marks and battle ground bodies ladies! The many, the brave, The Mommies!

I miss my flat tummy, but the weight is coming off quickly, so I shouldn't complain.

What I REALLY miss, though, is boobs that don't leak at the worst possible moments. It's really annoying to have to run for a towel in the middle of a make out session with your partner, or have a cashier awkwardly stare at your chest because Leaky Lefty decided you were hurtin' for a squirtin'

I miss my pre-pregnancy nipples! Oh my god, my nipples got gigantic after I had my daughter (bf for a year), and of course, they are still just as big now. Wish they could look less "national geographic" again someday.....but I guess I got away lucky with no stretch marks and generally same body/stomach as before pregnancy. Just those nipples.....yikes.

i also weigh less now than pre-pg. but i do miss my boobs... they just arent right anymore. idk what it is about them that i hate so much really but something is DEF off with them this time around.

i dont so much mind the stretch marks, or my c-section scar. is that weird?

I miss my pre pregnancy bras. My nursing bras just aren't as supportive and with my boobs being huge right now, I need support!
