Roll over.

SarahP15 · May 2011

I can't wait to sleep on my stomach and rollerblade again!!! I'll need to get my booty back in shape and cannot wait to skate with my jogger!

Haha, same here!

I'm looking forward to having sex again. My back and hips are so screwed up at this point that I'd probably have to have a chiropractor standing by to adjust me as soon as DH stepped away, or I wouldn't be able to move.

BosMama626 · May 2011

Running!

Telly21182 · May 2011

more strenuous workouts (kickboxing!!) and being able to sleep on my stomach again!!

Alfie02 · May 2011

I cannot wait to sleep on my stomach and roll over without feeling like I need heavy machinery. I am also looking forward to my gardening again. It is way too hard to weed when you are this big!

kattyleigh · May 2011

Running looonnngg distances.

CarlaAndJames · May 2011

normal sex!

Magenta728 · May 2011

Picking up a raw oyster and putting it in my mouth Stick out tongue

No, but seriously, I'm really looking forward to sleeping on my stomach. I'm also looking forward to starting Zumba (if the cardiologist clears me).

IrishEyes0530 · May 2011

Definitely some good sex in more exciting positions than spooning!!!

SarahP15 · May 2011

I can't wait to be on the bottom for sex again. Lol. I'm tired of doing all the work

kattyleigh · May 2011

The sad thing is, after you have the baby, you still can't sleep on your stomach because your boobs are so ginormous and leaking, you are forced to remain on your side and/or back. Bummer (but obviously worth it).

supermom83 · May 2011

Normal sex! Also, being able to play and run with my toddler!

Hbowers16 · May 2011

First thing that came to mine, Rough and rowdy sex :-)

and second thing was bending over or like getting down low for cleaning and what not

Turtle143 · May 2011

Sleep on my belly

Get in and out of bed without feeling like a walrus on dry land.

Try a Zumba class!

I managed to sleep on my stomach even when I had E-cups on a size 4 body. I also managed to sleep on my stomach within 2 weeks of having said E-cups reduced to a C, when they were still seeping lymph and other fluids from healing.

I think I'd probably still be doing it now, except I get kicked if I roll over even just a little too far forward! I am a determined stomach sleeper!

tesary · May 2011

I can't to work out again! I miss going out with my friends and being able to dance and taking my dog for walks!

Well I'm not really a belly sleeper but every once or twice during the night, I like to be able to roll over on my stomach. So if I'm able to do that just for a little bit then I'm good Big Smile

EBathory997Wed74688 · May 2011

walking without heavy breathing, zumba and sleeping on my back again.

Haha nice! Oh how I miss sleeping on my stomach. But I swear when I was breastfeeding, it was the leaking and engorgement pain that kept me from sleeping on my boobs.

kas80 · May 2011

* sex
* getting up out of bed like a normal person with no pain
* being able to speed walk my way across stores for quick errands
* starting up an exercise routine

aniceucchik · May 2011

walk or sit comfortably, sleep comfortably (haha), pretty much move in general...

* being able to speed walk my way across stores for quick errands

ugh, no kidding... it takes FOREVER for me to go grocery shopping!! and then reaching into the cart is another story!

khoping · May 2011

SEX and tri training. I became addicted to Swim Bike Run!

This and my DH said the same thing! I miss the gym sssoooo much! I've been way to swollen to work out. I day dream about fitness classes!

denall · May 2011

Rolling over easily.

Sex, though we have found the stairs to be quite nice during pregnancy. Will keep that going afterward!

Riding my bike. Which would be safe NOW, if I rode on roads. DH and I however go offroad on trails. Not too safe right now for that.

Sleeping on my stomach.

JuneBug0611 · May 2011

My total body fitness class at the gym and going sailing!

Sleepdeprived2011 · May 2011

Running!

Oh and I miss my Jillian Michaels DVD!

march2008 · May 2011

I miss the flexibility of being able to do all of my yoga poses. I can't wait to be able to stretch out every single muscle in my body! I feel so stiff pregnant.

I can't say I miss exercising because I haven't stopped yet! I can't imagine going 9 months without exercising. I do, however, miss being able to do the variety of exercises I did pre-pregnancy rather than all of this boring low impact stuff!

redjan · May 2011

Besides normal sex?

Hiking
Rock climbing
Zumba
Rollerblading
Boating/tubing/wakeboarding (although I probably won't be able to do any of that this summer....)

Sunidaze · May 2011

Besides being able to perform activities of daily living without discomfort (i.e. walking, climbing stairs, sitting, rollig over, etc.) exercise and sex top that list. I gave both up around February.

monkeysmama62 · May 2011

I'm looking forward to sleeping on my stomach I sleep so much better that way. Oh and rolling over, right now when I roll from one side to the other I want to cry. Part of me is looking forward to sex but the other part is terrified to try and have sex pp.
