I miss....

yoyopez

as we approach the halfway mark, what are you ladies missing about your pre-pregnancy life or self?

me?  one simple thing i really miss is sleeping on my stomach.  i've been sleeping on my back with some degree of comfort but i know that pretty soon i'll have to convert to side sleeping full time (hello sore hips).  i also miss my regular clothes... at least the way they *used* to fit.  sadly i'm still wearing them, just not comfortably or well.  haven't gone out to buy maternity clothes yet but am going with my mom friday to pick put a few outfits.  that will be fun

chime in and tell us what you miss.

Oh where do I start ??? Ok the most is sleeping on my stomach and drinking beer !!!!!!!

Staciefacie

I'm with you on the stomach sleeping. I still manage to some nights but lately it's been hurting. I'm thinking its to the point where I'm stuck on my side.

I too wish my old clothes could fit. But the one thing I miss the most is my daughter NOT saying that I'm getting bigger or fatter. She's a sweet heart, lol. [-(

I miss eating normal portions. I get full so fast, but I still forget that all the time and fill my plate up. Then I'm stuck looking my at all this food I want to eat but can't.

I also miss not having to pee every hour and a half or so.

I miss energy. I have been exhausted since my BFP this pregnancy. I can't wait for that surge of energy you're supposed to get during 2nd tri. ::taps foot::

WINE!!!

SweetMandyB12

Wine.  Beer.  Brunching with unlimited drinks.  Feta.  Ahi tuna.  Sushi.  Running- long and far.  Marathon training.  Large DD coffee with a turbo shot. 

wildflower75

I miss sushi and oysters and tuna tartare...and energy...

fisk2005

I miss sushi, wine, my nice figure, strawberryritas, and the thought of going the whole summer without sangria makes me want to hurt someone! I also miss my energy! X(

Littledeer84

Alcohol! Just looking ahead at a whole summer without alcohol is a bit depressing

femail

Wine, beer and raw sushi.

Waterlilly11

Sleeping through the entire night! However I know that probably won't be happening anytime soon even after giving birth

Sockgnome78

I miss stomach sleeping. I find that I still do it, BUT it is getting to the point that it hurts my back. I also miss raw sushi and seafood. I am also realizing that my portion sizes are not the same as what they used to be. Oh and energy. Need me so energy.

TheOtherJacobsons

Sushi, salad bar, roast beef/turkey/avo sandwiches, rare steak, my clothes, shots, smoking, staying up late, sleeping in. I am sure there's more.

Sleeping comfortably. I used to like side sleeping, but something about not having a choice just makes that position THAT much more uncomfortable.

And my clothes fitting. I finally broke down and bought one pair of maternity pants to give a go.

Saragoeswest

Whiskey, wine, and zipping up my jeans.

ashcakes921

I miss clothes that fit right and not being called preggo by coworkerd

eacaldw

Sleeping on my stomach, turkey sandwiches, diet coke, wine and beer! 

irisheyes317

Beer! I went to a baseball game tonight and all I wanted was a nice cold beer. Looking forward to next season.

I also miss being able to walk up the stairs without getting winded.

DaniW1984

Wine. All day coffee. Sushi. Feeling fully rested.

yoyopez

this really hasn't started yet but i know it's coming... i'm going to miss people keeping their hands off my belly!

ANGnJON

I feel the same way. Today I came back from lunch totally uncomfortable because I tried to eat a full meal. I also feel like I'm starving before i eat so I think I need more food. Then I eat 3 bites and I'm full.
I miss margaritas. Yum yum yum! I rarely drink them but they sound so good now that I'm pregnant.

Runninggal28

Definitely my energy! I am also waiting for that second tri energy boost and it never came. It's better than first tri but still nothing like normal. I also sometimes miss drinking (more of a social thing) and looking normal in clothes. Still waiting for a legit bump so I actually look pregnant instead of looking like I gained a few pounds.

pushgal84

I second brunch! There's something magical about getting shitty on Sunday mornings while eating brunch food. I miss not crying about random stuff and I miss my patience.

2goingon3

Wine. Oh, and the ability to stay awake past 8:15 in order to enjoy wine.

Jellybean813

As the weather gets nicer I'm really craving beer. I also really miss wine and raw sushi as well.

hippohat

I didn't miss drinking at all last time, and I rarely drink overall. But DD is acting 3 with gusto, and all I want after she's in bed is to go out back, sit in the quiet and have a drink.

MissMandyD

I miss martinis and wine, having lots of energy, being able to not ask people for help at work and oysters on the half shell.

Mercedezshutt

Beer beer and more beer! Jimmy johns sandwiches and raw salmon! I just want a slice of raw salmon! Maybe even a glass of red wine. Oh and my boobs (they are now HUGE and my nipples are the size of serving plates).

SaphireShimmer

I miss having energy, sleeping comfortably, not feeling sick, and only worrying about IBS making bathroom trips annoying.

archi35

I miss tucking in my shirt and wearing a belt.  I have some really cool belts.  I also miss feeling sexy - and I'm getting super tired of the articles and comments about "embrace your curves!" and "enjoy feeling like a woman!".  Yeah, um no.  My rash, hairs and blob is not making me feel sexy and curvy.  Maybe one day when I have a basketball instead of an inner tube, with no rash and no man hairs in odd places.  That totally happens right??? I mean, all the movies and articles can't be WRONG can they?!?!

MelanieAdam0707

I miss the energy te most! And the ability to stay asleep at night without the help of Benadryl and the resulting day long migraines.

my FACE! My face got pregnant

the chest and backne can go away anytime and I am ready for the beachball look instead of the chubber look. With all that being said I've been planning a headache of a bachelorette party for my sister and DYING for wine to help ease the pain.

angeltennis3

1) Energy...while I feel better I still get exhausted easily. Come on second tri energy boost!

2) A satisfying pee. I go ALL the time and feel like Niagara should come out but instead it's a dribble. Really?

3) alcohol. I want a glass of wine...and a beer...and a fruity cocktail so bad!

tdegregs

I feel better after reading this because I miss BEER too and felt bad about it! Happy hours with colleagues and a long summer ahead! We live near a very busy summer town and we love going to listen to bands on the weekend and having a few drinks! But it's only one summer right?

MrsL2B

Wine, high-intensity interval training, and being able to get in the car to go anywhere without having to worry that I'm going to have to make an emergency stop to go to the bathroom.

Lele74

Beer and playing roller derby. And since I'm laid off, I'd love to go day drinking. You know, like Sunday brunch but on a random weekday with the girls.
I also miss having an appetite. I still get really hungry and I don't get sick when I eat, it's just hard to plan for meals when nothing sounds good.

This EXACTLY.

MrsSinner402

Wine spritzers. Redd's Apple Ale. Carnival rides. Sleeping however I want. My clothes fitting. But I wouldn't change a thing! It's all so very worth it.

heathera1979

Margaritas, sangria, rum

yella726

Cold cuts. DH and I just came back from a family vacation at the beach with my parents, my brother and his family and my grandparents. When everyone else is making cold cut sandwiches to pack in the cooler and bring to the beach, it's tough to have to think up alternative options. Sometimes you just want a good ol' turkey on whole wheat with mayo. I've never been a big cold cut fan, either.
