The things that I miss...

rockstarlaw · December 2013

There are the obvious things we all miss due to pregnancy: wine, sushi, wine, wine, champagne, soft cheeses, etc. but I also really miss Chinese food. Apparently LO hates it because my stomach simply cannot tolerate it anymore since I've been pregnant. I've tried eating at three different restaurants hoping it was location-specific, but nope.

What do you miss from your pre-pregnancy days?

cold deli meat! Thank goodness for Firehouse that steams their subs but I miss a cold-cut.

I miss comfortably eating period. It seems like no matter what I eat and no matter the portion size I feel stuffed and get insane heartburn, reflux and indigestion. Also, cocktails. I could really use a cocktail.

sugarrush · December 2013

No joke, a margarita. I want one in the worst way.

CodiSichling · December 2013

I miss being able to sleep through the night without having to pee.

Cecilbear · December 2013

Call me superficial, but I really miss fit & flare dresses! Going on the hunt for a NYE dress was not very exciting this year.

This!

And energy! I am still so exhausted, and it's holding up my nesting.

I miss being skinny. Yes, I know, it is all in the name of a good cause...etc. etc. but sometimes I really miss my regular clothes. I just want to put my skinny jeans on and go out for cocktails. I'm not even a big bar person...it just feels so appealing right now.

My OB gave me the go ahead for half a glass of wine from time to time, which has been wonderful, but I still miss the happy/giddy feeling that comes after two glasses.

J&NL · December 2013

Jack Daniels

ksulli · December 2013

Gracefully shaving my legs.

pbandjmom · December 2013

I miss a lot of my pre-PG clothes already, but hoping it's not for long. I have spent way too much money and time on that damn wardrobe, it must be worn again!

And wine.

And sushi. SUSHI get in mah belly.

KatieGummow · December 2013

I was for sure eyeing my DH's turkey lettuce wrap as he turned away. As much as I love talking about the babies, I miss not being the center of everyone's attention,

cgoldian · December 2013

Hot yoga

maelic · December 2013

Not feeling like an octogenarian with these sore, stiff hips of mine. I guess it's at least a year until I get a good night's sleep again.

Serenla · December 2013

Gin and tonic, I miss gin so much.

Serenla · December 2013

Oh and my MIL treating me like a capable person instead of a baby carrier.

mzjaybee7 · December 2013

Alcohol is a big one- I had to abstain through some major events this time around like my bff's bachelorette party AND wedding.

I also miss good sex. Position-switching, spontaneous, toe curling sex. I have to mentally prepare for that shit for at least 24hrs these days.

This, times 100. I think the day after LO pops out, I'm busting out the machine, lol.

And I second @mzjaybee7 ... Random excellent rough sexy time. Sad face.

MapleLeafMama · December 2013

Being able to bend in half. I've been doing loads of laundry today and it kills my back to have to try and bend over to move loads over to the dryer.

railroadRN · December 2013

Sleeping on my stomach.

And I could really, really use a strong drink.

babybarnes87 · December 2013

Being able to put my shoes on easily! And wine/cocktails.

Yes to Chinese. I don't know if I will ever want it again. Mexican food is the same way! We used to go to a local place here at least twice a month and I have been 2-3 times since being pregnant. Also coffee. It just doesn't sit right.

THIS!

rockstarlaw · December 2013

I also miss sleeping on my back. Even with my fabulous Snoogle I still just long for having my back flat against the mattress!

baileymama3 · December 2013

Getting buzzed. Not drunk.. Just that fabulous feeling of 2 glasses of red wine.... In a hot tub.... And my libido.

BR · December 2013

WINE! I miss wine the most. I also miss being able to stay up past 10 and not getting winded doing the simplest of tasks. Oh, and being able to comfortably bend over to pick things up.

loveyoga7 · December 2013

I miss hot yoga, flat stomach, 4 inch heels, wine, champagne, sushi and all my pre-pregnancy clothes. I can't wait to get my body back!

Pollocklady · December 2013

Hot yoga, Brie, being coordinated and flexible, normal jeans, back sleep, and being able to eat more than 2 bites of food without feeling massively uncomfortable

MamaFantastic · December 2013

back sleeping

reading comfortably to my kiddo in our rocking chair. he has to side-sit awkwardly on one thigh now because i'm running out of lap room.

doing any action on my belly... whether it's playing on the floor or lounging in bed

going for a good run

so basically, i miss body mechanics stuff, not edible stuff

saige1121 · December 2013

Sex... I'm on pelvic rest

tcwink · December 2013

Beer!

irisheyez7 · December 2013

IBUPROFEN! Acetaminophen does NOTHING for me!

Alycia Hause · December 2013

Sangria, spontaneous sex ( after sole good sangria), and sleeping comfortably. I can not figure out how to sleep on my side without tossing and turning all night. If I had wine and sex before bed I bet I could sleep on my side without a problem.

columbia1 · December 2013

Champagne, raw sushi, and it'd be nice to be able to see my vagina again.

mommy2twox3 · December 2013

Not having to always be the baby sitter cause baby daddy don't wanna grow up. Lol forreal though. I should change my name to mommy to three. -_-

sorarose · December 2013

SUSHI! I want to rip a salmon apart and just eat it!

Also, feta cheese at restaurants.

ashlyfaye · December 2013

Vodka!! Oh and sleeping on my tummy.

Sisimama10 · December 2013

I miss not peeing so freaking much. And being able to move without pain.

eireyes · December 2013

I miss waistbands on blue jeans. Don't get me wrong, maternity jeans are comfy, but they DO NOT stay put on my ass. I walk five feet and have to do the most unglamorous pants hike...

I don't miss any food - I've pretty much trashed all the non under-cooked steak, unpasteurized cheese, etc. rules. I do however, miss being able to eat comfortably.

And wine, beer, alcohol in general.. God I could use a stiff drink!

Ditto and Ditto

CosmoAnne1 · December 2013

Energy, cold cut subs, sleep!! Wait I haven't slept good in the past 6 years, before being pregnant I would only have a drink at special occasions a nice glass of grey goose and cranberry sound yummy! Rolling over in bad without having to pee ...........

rainy369 · December 2013

Diet Pepsi!!!! I don't like regular and I'm avoiding artificial sweeteners. I've already told hubby that there better be a 2 liter in the delivery room. Haha!
