I can't imagine ever...

DFWIndian

doing what after pregnancy? I feel like I've been pregnant forever and can't remember how it was before too...

1. Bend down without a plan on how to get back up.

2. Not finding a bathroom at every place I go to.

3. Sleeping through the night - I guess that won't change.

 

What are yours?

Doing normal activities and not being out of breath

Painting my toenails again and staying in the lines as DD says

Sleeping comfortbaly - I remember after DD was born and after I had recovered from my CS being so excited to sleep comfortably again. Of course with a newborn I was just excited to be sleeping. And I still remember that first day after a full 8 hours of sleep- Ahhh I cannot wait for that!!

-Not being hungry every 2 hours

-Sleep without 4 pillows surrounding me

And the social thing I can't imagine doing again, at least for a very long time? Getting stupid drunk and spending a whole day recovering.  My 30th is 8 weeks after my EDD and my friends seem to think we're going to have some big party.  Yea, no.

Mine is more of an "I've forgotten what it's like to" 

...really enjoy sex

...have a few glasses of wine

...relax in a whirlpool/super hot bath

Being able to sleep on my back/stomach

Bending over and actually reaching what I was aiming for & not blindly swinging my hands around.

Lifting DS without feeling the weight of him push down the weight of LO and having my bladder being sat on by two kids.  

Not feeling like a turtle getting up from bed or laying on the couch or getting out of cars

Climbing the stairs without feeling like I ran a marathon

Seeing my ankles again

Shaving my bikini line by vision and not touch

Being able to sleep on my back/stomach

Being able to walk a long distance without having to figure out where I am going to stop and pee.

Standing up on my own from a laying position (from the bed/couch).

Having 1 day with DH and engorging myself with Chinese, Sushi and Dim Sum and the next day having my mom watch LO so I can get over the migraine that I know will happen. 

Enjoying a drink (or two).

Having a waist line and dressing cute.

That eventually came back after having DD, but it took a while. I hope I can bounce back faster this time, but I've heard with your second (or more) it can take longer. =(

I actually bounced back the fastest after my 3rd. Lost all the weight by my 6 week appointment. Then again I wasn't able to breast feed with my first 2. So I really believe that had a lot to do with it.

Looking in the mirror and feeling attractive/thin.

Being able to comfortably turn over in bed, from one side sleeping position to the other...sigh.

1. Having rough sex again

2. Sleeping on my back and stomach again

3. Climbing the stairs with ease. Wait, who am I kidding, they were never really easy. Let me rephrase, climbing the stairs without huffing and puffing.

This. And being able to wear clothes that show off my waist...

Sleeping on my stomach. I haven't done it since April 2010 b/w being pg, then BFing, then being pg again & then BFing again.... maybe by November 2013. A girl can dream.

I feel exactly like a turtle when getting out of bed--I sort of roll over and use the momentum to spring myself over the side with my legs sticking out awkwardly the whole time. Ridiculous!

others...

-blowing my nose and not having blood in the tissue

-getting my period

Sleeping comfortably.

Moving without feeling like I have a bowling ball in my stomach.

Shaving without missing spots.

Not having my bladder as a punching bag.

Not being able to use the pregnancy card to get out of doing things I don't want to do.

This. I actually miss blowing my nose like a normal person.

I can't wait to...

- Wear jeans again!

- Wear whatever shoes match my outfit rather than shoes that won't kill my back.

- Go for a walk without my body killing me afterwards!

With the exception of getting my period again, I think I miss everything about not being pregnant. Notably I am ready to not feel like a cow, to sleep on my stomach and to hold my kids without feeling like I am dying. Oh and sex.

Once I put on maternity pants for the first time, I thought, "Why doesn't everyone wear elastic waistbands!?"

jenguinbear

...running again. I don't know how long it's going to take to feel like normal again.

...sleeping/lying flat on my stomach.

...changing position without hitting a nerve.

I can't imagine rolling on the floor romping with my babies without having to say "watch out for mommy's baby in her belly". 

I can't imagine going for a long run.

I can't imagine getting back into a size 4 at the moment either, which saddens me because that means I have to buy new pants when I have three or four perfectly nice pairs of jeans that I really like a lot, and I dread paying for more.
