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.
Re: I miss my pre-pregnancy (fill-in-the-blank body part).
This. I feel exactly the same!

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.
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!
this!
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!!
"A new baby is like the beginning of all things--wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities."
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!
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 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?
