- No more heartburn
- No rib pain
- no more feeling and being a fart machine
- Putting shoes on will no longer being such a task
- having the ability to actually get & be comfortable
- pants with buttons & zippers
- the numbers on the scale that I see now- Never seeing those ever again!

I can't wait to sleep on my stomach and not have to obsess about pooping every day.  Normally every 2 days is fine for me but if it's not every day now I'm a monster to be around.

I miss parts of my social life (happy hours, unlimited brunches, a couple of my friends who seem MIA) restful, non-painful sleeping through the night and my generally independent (but married) life.

However, those things aren't really ever going back to normal, are they?

I also feel jipped that I never got the famous "second Tri burst of energy".

This!!!!

Julie&Micah

Continuous night of sleep in ANY position without pain
Bending over and/or picking up my toddler without prepping myself first to keep my balance
Getting up from sitting in the couch or floor in less than 2 minutes
Walking normally at a normal pace
Not feeling huge
NO MORE PAIN - I've had cramps and pelvic pain this whole pregnancy
Getting back in shape
Beverages of the adult variety

Eat what I want, drink what I want, sleep how I want (position at least), move how I want, wear what I want,...I have all the wants!!!

I can't wait to be able to eat normally again and not have to balance my carbs and freak out about sugar. My birthday is 3 days after my due date so I am reallly hoping to have the baby and have my levels return to normal in time to get a birthday treat. Oh and I love to be able to do all the bending, sitting and squatting involved with taking care of and playing with DS #1 without feeling incredibly uncomfortable or pained.

I would love for DD1 to be able to sit on my lap. She tries to and then looks back at my belly like "what the hell is that thing and when is it going away?!". Also, it would be nice to not have to worry about her jumping/snuggling on me.

This made me giggle since DS is the same way. He climbs on my lap but then whines that he is going to fall since there isn't much room for him ...... I'm sorry that's all I got right now kiddo.

I'm actually loving being pregnant, including my body, and I can honestly say I have little to no complaints.  However, I'm a tummy sleeper so it will be fabulous to be able to do that again and get comfy cozy before trying to doze off.

I just want to feel like 'me" again

This has really been a struggle for me this pregnancy.  When I got pregnant, I was coming off a 100+ lb weight loss, and was training for my first half marathon.  Initially, my doc was totally fine with me running/training; but then the bleeding started and the running stopped.  And then the PTL started...and more bleeding/placental abruptions (x2)...and then came the hospital stays and bed rest.  At 30 weeks, I am currently on week 9 of bed rest, and I have watched my muscles atrophy and my skin get saggy, and honestly, it's really bothered me.  Pelvic rest and also some crazy lingering nausea (along with some seriously poor body-image issues) have made intimacy with hubby nearly non-existant, and he's really been a trooper, but I also feel really bad about it.  Bed rest has also presented some physical ailments that I hadn't anticipated, including a lot of soreness purely from being in the same positions for so many weeks now.  I experienced pregnancy aches and pains during my first two pregnancies, but this time has been different...the soreness feels almost like bruising that just doesn't turn colors; hips, butt, shoulder, neck.  It is brutal and miserable, and a lot of days it it just really depressing.  BUT...on the flip side, I am so so SO incredibly thankful that the pregnancy has progressed and that I am still pregnant.  I know in my head "this is temporary and totally worth it", but my body is screaming "I AM DONE"!  I think of the mommies on here and also ones I know just in my daily life, who have lost babies or given birth to some extreme preemies, who would give just about anything to be pregnant right now, and that reminds me to count my blessings and realize that I can get through this and I really am pretty lucky to have these "problems".  But some days, when I am feeling really icky, it's hard to keep the focus on the end prize!  Keep on keepin' on, ladies!  We are so close to the finish line!

I just want to be able to breathe through my nose again.

Awwww @ugabamafans THANK YOU for the encouragement!  Really means a lot to me **HUGS**

@MarciP83‌ I am sorry! Hugs to you and every day closer is a day your little one is more prepared for the world! (That's what I keep telling myself)

Oh my goodness, all the things. I want to have sex, drink, not get constant heartburn, not grunt when changing pisitions. I can't wait for dh to stop touching my belly, for people to stop asking how I feel, for coworkers to stop asking if I should be lifting things.

OH EM GEE...THIS! I cannot stand it.  I don't know why! Never bothered me in my previous pregnancies but this time it makes me want to scream!! I feel like some evil villain for feeling this way, but it simply makes my skin crawl...

Taymiller

I can't wait for my hives to go away and to not pee so damn much. I feel like I am in a daily fight with drinking enough water and having to then pee every 30 minutes! But mostly just the hives, I can't wait to not take allergy medicine and to not itch all the time!

jwarnerb

I cannot wait for people to stop asking me how I feel.  It never feels genuine and no one ever seems satisfied with the answer.  

MY ANSWER IS MY ANSWER.

ChristineBaker23

Working out, having good sex, no heartburn, no swelling, I want to sleep laying down (I sleep in an upright position every night), having sex in a hot tub, and I would just really like to get completely wasted and dance on a table with my sister. But having a healthy baby is worth the wait I suppose

fsumom

No shortness of breath would be nice and glasses of wine would be lovely!

k318

I want to be physically comfortable again, get a good nights sleep (I know- newborns wake up a lot- but being able to physically sleep in a normal position and no insomnia), no more heartburn, resume my normal food preferences, enjoy sex and have a margarita.

I am also looking forward to losing weight, getting back in shape and looking good again. Ds doesn't even recognize me in old pictures.

rastrau

I cannot wait to: 

 - sleep on my stomach

 - put on clothes or stand from sitting without *grunting* from the effort

 - BOOZE!

 - regular clothes. not just regular clothes, but *options* when I get dressed!

And so much of what all the PP have said. All of it.

Pepper6

I want to get a real massage!  I had a prenatal massage last week and while it was nice, it's just not the same as being able to lie on your stomach and have them really work your back.  

sjn00

I am ready to not be in so much darn pain all the time.. To be able to sleep laying down instead of sitting up.. I am fed up with the constipation and the pain that goes along with that.. Her kickin my cervix needs to stop.. To get rid of this damn Gestational Diabetes and poking my finger multiple times a day... To not have to do anymore 24 hour urine screenings or blood draws.. Im just sooo ready for it to all be over with. As much as a blessing these babies are.. My pregnancy has been miserable and if it was soley up to me, I would never do this again.

mrs.hughey

Oooo I can't wait to have a Mojito and ceviche and sushi!!! And wine, hot yoga, running, fitting into my cute clothes and shoes and lingere, no more acne all over, push up bras, sex however I want it, and I really miss Mary Jane.... Not too much to ask is it?? Lol

RedMar

Dry underwear

Lindsleigh77

Oh man all the things but mostly

No more nausea and puking

A comfortable on my back no crazy dreams sleep

A good and dirty gin martini with extra olives or a yummy ceaser

A full on sushi extravaganza

LKHoffa

Having more than 3 options of what pants to wear to work

Brittnic531

I'm ready for people to look at my face and not my belly when they're talking to me.  SO uncomfortable. 

SkyAngelMommy

OMG i cant WAIIITTT to have some red wine! i just loveeeeee pinot noir and i've been missing it so bad! plus i'm so tired all the time, i just want to feel good again! 

SkyAngelMommy

AWWW that's SOO sweet!! I've missed you ladies so much too, i've just been so busy lately! 

And pinot is just the best! 

kimbercash79

Sleeping on my back and breathing deeply.

Mrs_D_in_KY

I'm on bedrest until I deliver. So I can't wait to: not worry about how much walking I've done in a given day, being off all of these Meds/shots and being able to have sex with my husband again.

Also: no more heartburn, being able to shave my legs, being able to paint my toenails and burning these stupid maternity clothes that are either too small or too big.

malonewedfuture

I want a drink...

I want to have sex...

I want to cross my legs...

Shave like a normal person....

this list is too long... I am just so ready!

Verstej2

My biggest want: to hear properly again. I have had blocked ears with all three of my pregnancies but this one is the worst. I am at least 50% deaf at all times right now and I hate just hearing my own breathing!

Oh and I would love to have my regular BP back again. Fainting and trying not to black out multiple times a day from low BP sucks.

CharD3

I want a nice cold frosty beer! Being able to walk upstairs without being winded, have some good sex with my man! Most of all a good nights sleep, I know it's gonna be a long time for that one! And not getting heartburn from just looking at food haha

CindyJill27

I miss my wine nights with the hubby, sleeping on my back/stomach, walking without pain or discomfort,to be honest I just can't wait to be able to see my lady parts and be able to shave lol oh and feel sexy again! I'm really anxious to see how my body will be post baby and what I will be able to wear after...and heartburn! first time experiencing it ever and it has been a tums event pretty much everyday now so i'll be happy to stop that. And like @Bittycakes said I am trying to enjoy this pregnancy knowing that we are blessed to even be welcoming a little one, but it is nice to know i'm not the only one who can't wait to have her body back
