I miss...

dying my hair every 6 weeks and painting my nails already. However, I'd gladly take being pregnant over dying my hair or painting my nails any day.

What do you ladies miss already? Big Smile

  • I haven't missed anything yet but I do enjoy my wine!! I've been putting my water, Fresca or caffeine free Diet Coke in a stemless wine glass. Makes it more fun to drink!  :)
  • It's okay to paint your nails while pregnant. It's even okay to drink caffeine...in moderation of course.

    This...I gave it up when we started TTC, so it's already been awhile...

  • Sushi!  I didn't eat it at all during the 2ww-and now I'm kicking myself for not getting one more sushi dinner in!

    I am also really gray for being 29, so it's going to be interesting to see what it looks like in 3 months!

    Really? I've read so many articles online that it's not ok to paint them while pregnant. Hmmm...thanks for the heads up!

  • I miss wine. Our RE suggested I stop drinking in preparation of our IVF cycle so I haven't had a drop of anything since a few days after Christmas. I figure I'll be dying for one by Thanksgiving!

  • I cut out coffee and alcohol during the 2ww so I had already given them up. I was supposed to go out for sushi with my favorite people for my birthday on the 11th- but I will gladly wait another 9 months. At this point I haven't had a chance to miss anything yet.

    As long as you don't huff the paint, I'm sure you'll be fine. Ask you're Dr if you're concerned though. I painted my nails in my first pregnancy, and I know many women who still went to get pedicures! I couldn't do the pedicures because the smell of the salon was too strong for my liking, but I don't see a problem with painting them at home.

     and i've heard its fine to get your hair done too...highlights with foils and it shouldn't touch your scalp. 

     I am going to miss wine and sushi a lot.  Good thing I had a nice sushi dinner and a couple glasses of chardonnay in the 2ww!!

  • I don't really miss anything. I'm just so thankful to be pregnant!

  • I'm with you on the hair thing! I have an appointment to at least get my haircut this week, and my stylist is going to know something is up...since I always get my hair highlighted and cut at the same appointment.

    I plan an highlighting my hair after the 1st trimester. With my first pregnancy, my doc said it was fine to do anytime, since not much (if any) comes in contact with the scalp.

  • Wine. Desperately. I'm not a big drinker, so I had no idea I would want it so badly.

  • Coffee! I used to be like a 6 cup a day drinker! I probably only "miss" mayonnaise. I never noticed how much I used to eat it until now. I'm sure it's still safe to eat in moderation, but eh, better safe than sorry. Overall this baby is WAY worth cutting foods out.

  • Things I've read said painting your nails was ok.

    I miss eating whatever the crap I wanted to. Now when I want a snack, I force myself to go for fruit and veggies instead of nachos or popcorn. (ugh, it's better for me anyway)

  • I miss Advil and Aleve!! I sprained my ankle badly the day I ovulated, and it just about killed me not to be able to use NSAIDs for the pain and swelling. I'm glad I didn't, but damn...now I have to go without for 9 more months!

    I don't miss anything yet as far as food or drink goes, mostly because I don't plan on totally giving anything up. My doc is all about moderation. I only drink alcohol 2-3 times a year, I already drink less than 250 mg caffeine a day, I only drink 1-2 diet sodas a day, I don't eat much seafood and definitely never raw...

    Now, when I start puking my guts out every 2 hrs, then I'll probably miss greasy Mexican food and spicy Chinese, but I'm not there yet. ;)

    And my hair stylist said her doc told her that hair dye and nail polish were fine, and I've read the same thing in many pregnancy articles. Think of all the pregnant hairdressers. They don't quit their jobs just because they're pregnant.
