Things I won't miss..

jiggycole

We are all getting down to the wire with our LO's arrival (if they haven't already arrived yet).  What are some things that you ladies won't miss about being pregnant?

For me some of the things I won't miss are:
 - Hearing things like "oh that baby needs to come out!" "Are you sure you are only having 1" "You must really be craving pickles" (even though I have always ate pickles).
 - Sharing my body.  As much as I have loved being pregnant, I am ready to have my body back!
 - Going to the doctors all the time for a 10 minute appointment.
I am sure there are more, but that is all I can think of right now!

All the things I'm having trouble doing because I'm so tired and heavy!  I've walked past weeds in the garden for about a week now... I'd love to just bend over and pull them up, but bending over like that is sooo uncomfortable, and once I start I know I won't be able to stop until the whole garden looks good.

The loss of feeling/excrutiating pain in my left leg.  I'm assuming baby is camping out on my sciatic nerve.  But, I really do miss walking.

-"snissing" although I had it for a few months following the birth of DD1

-Feeling like a beached whale when I try to reposition myself in bed at night

-I love my bump, but it makes snuggling with DD1 a challenge sometimes, so I look forward to be being able to snuggle with her like we used to

-sleeping on my side

mobiz

-the struggle to pick up things if they drop on the floor (or clean up DS's toys...i still do it but get crazy BH every time so lately i've been leaving the toys a mess)

- rolling over in bed- OUCH, it takes forever and gives me BH and i have to do it multiple times a night to reposition or get up to pee

-hip and back pain

-not being able to cuddle and hold DS like normal

-i can't wait to workout, eat sushi, drink wine!

-my feet/cankles/hands are so swollen and i hate this heat lately

all that being said....i'm still really nervous how to juggle it all so baby can stay in there a few more weeks and i'll deal

I'm going to miss every second of it.  I had such heartache getting pregnant and this is likely the last time for me so I will miss every bit of it, the good and the bad.

-people telling me to get my sleep while I can ...even though I'm uncomfortable and can't sleep well now.

-family members looking/pointing at my belly and laughing.

-watching my husband enjoy beer while I'm downing my 800th glass of water for the day.

-ACID REFLUX!

AGREED!

Honestly, up until about 36 weeks, I had an AWESOME pregnancy.  I didn't throw up, didn't feel like garbage, had no swelling, wasn't too tired.  I was walking on sunshine!

Then 36 weeks came, and breathing was more difficult, more aches and pains started happening.  Warmer more humid weather started happening, so cue the swelling.

Then, one night before 37 weeks came the insomnia.  I'd fall asleep, but wake up at 1am and not fall back asleep for hours.  Still not sleeping good.

I guess at the end of the day, yes, I have really enjoyed being pregnant, and will I miss it?  Prior to feeling crappy at 36 weeks, yes, I will miss it.  Will I do it again?  Yes, in a heartbeat.

But, I want it to be June 16th. LOL 

I want to be able to breathe, to walk up stairs (or even along flat surfaces) and not be out of breath, to lie on my back and stomach, to get a good night's sleep (even though apparently I'm not going to have one of these for 18 years lol).

I'm excited to meet our baby girl!

Oops.  Almost forgot, I'm kind of over pooping.  All I do is poop.  I'm sick of that.

And peeing.  I'm constantly peeing.

So yeah.

I won't miss those 2 things as well.

And waddling.  I will not miss waddling.

- Swollen feet, ankles and legs

- Feeling like my hips may fall off when I try to roll over in bed

- Peeing in a cup at my OB's office

- Weighing in at my OB's office

- Breaking out in a sweat shopping in a store now that I'm past the 35 wk mark

Heartcease

I won't miss my Mom freaking out when I don't answer the phone.  If I don't answer the phone she thinks I've fallen and am dying at the bottom of the stairs or have gone into labor by myself.  The truth is, she calls, it takes me forever to get off the couch because I've turned into a big roly-poly whale, and she hangs up before I get to the phone in the kitchen.  THEN she calls the cell, which is back in the living room and I can either just continue to the kitchen to call her back, or shuffle back to the cell in time for it to go to voicemail.  I should just attach them both to my belly.

I feel the same way about my mom! I love her to death, but she is so worried I am not going to call her when I go into labor.  I keep telling her that they will be the first ones I call when I am for sure going to be in the hospital since they live 2 hours away.  And everytime she calls its the same questions, "How are you feeling" "Are you getting bigger yet" "What are you craving now" and I am pretty annoyed with answering them, so sometimes I don't answer the phone until I am ready to talk to her... I feel guilty, but sometimes I just get tired of answering the same thing 5 times a day!
