Is anyone ready to get there body back to themselves?

wrightpalomo · August 2014

No, I'd like to continue like this indefinitely.... just waddling around, out of breath and uncomfortable for the rest of my life. BUT ONLY if strangers randomly grab my stomach and say horrible things about my body to me.

People still count calories?

T&HLove · August 2014

In approximately 2 years give or take. I can't remember what it's like to have it completely to myself since I weaned my 2 yr old after getting pregnant with this one. But still, hopefully more energy will come. Though, that seems really silly when talking about having a newborn

I am so ready to go back to abusing my body with alcohol and tobacco. Also tying my shoes freely and slipping on my underwear with no pelvic pain.

If you sit down while you put on your undies and pants it doesn't hurt. The day I discovered that trick was one of the best days of my pregnancy!

I miss having a nice drink on Saturday with family. I'm a whiskey girl which means I can't even take a sip right now

@AmandaR204 I feel u on spd. So annoying. That's one thing I will NOT miss about being pregs

I do LOVE being pregnant....and knowing that this is likely, at 41, going to be my last (although I would love one more!) I am trying to savor the kicks and flips, despite the fact that I am incredibly uncomfortable, especially at night.

With that said....I am looking forward to no more finger sticks, writing down everything I eat, and watching carbs! I am SO looking forward to a glass of Pinot griot or an ice cold Bud Light! And, oh.....how I could I forget, I'd love to be able to bend over to shave my legs, etc...and to be able to see what I'm doing!

I HATE beer... But I can't wait to have one.

And it would be nice to make it through dinner without getting up to pee at least 3 times.

kristiedh · August 2014

I was actually thinking I'm going to miss all the little movements and wiggles I feel throughout the day. I've been lucky with this pregnancy, which is my first, and my life hasn't changed too much, so I'm not missing much. I do miss running though. For now (33w4d) my mobility is still the same--baby isn't too much in the way. I get a bad pain in my ribs if I sit too long, but if that's the only complaint I've had the whole time, I remind myself I'm lucky :-)

dal2aus · August 2014

I swing back and forth on this one. I'll be glad to not have searing sciatica and a popping pelvis every time I walk, but I'm kind of sad that I won't have the babies with me 24/7 anymore. I'm going to miss having them so close and wiggly. I guess I'll have to console myself with wine and sushi.

Bella2425 · August 2014

I keep daydreaming about hard workouts. And drinking all the damn diet coke I want.

RedBaramid · August 2014

I'm ready to do stairs without running out of breath.. and to just flipping carry things again. For a long time I was mad at people for taking things from me because "it was too heavy" and then suddenly I was trying to lift a thing I lift all the time at work and I was like "dang.. did this gain 20 pounds?!" I now move said object around on a roller chair at work.

Nootbar · August 2014

@wrightpalomo‌ my favorites so far are "wow you're really huge" and "you've really got that pregnancy waddle down."

I feel this way, though this is my first and hopefully there will be one more down the road. I've loved being pregnant, and a big part of me isn't ready for it to end. However, I do look forward to not having to track my sugar, no more heartburn, being able to get comfortable at night, and drinking again.

mrsH1112 · August 2014

Im torn because I have liked being pregnant, once I got out of the worrying about every little thing stage in my first Tri. This is going to be my one and only baby, so part of me wants to keep him in there as long as I can.

But yeah, Im so ready to bend down and do stuff again without feeling like Im going to burst. I was struggling with my sheet around my feet the other night in bed and had had enough I actually asked my husband to reach down and pull it up because I was done for the night haha.

Also greatly looking forward to just being able to eat and drink things I used to. Booze and carbs, I miss you so much (Ive had GD since week 13)

cozybluebear · August 2014

As much as I hate pregnancy... after my son was born, I found myself feeling depressed because I wasn't pregnant anymore. Suddenly I had to share my sweet baby boy after having him to myself for so long. Trust me, you'll feel it at some point too.

Jax2013 · August 2014

I'm so ready to be done with being pregnant. This is the last of the Mohicans for me. I thought id be more sentimental. But honestly, I'm just ready to get this LO out of me. No more insane pelvic pressure. No more labored breathing. No more heartburn. No more extreme weight gain. No more insomnia. No more millions of trips to pee.... The list goes on.

hizah05 · August 2014

I don't enjoy being pregnant at all. I can't even find anything positive to say about it when I try. And when I had my son I didn't miss it at all. Not even a little bit. I really want a second one but I was so not looking forward to being pregnant again that I kept delaying it. I remember when I decided I was ready for baby 2 my H kept asking if I was sure and asking me if I remembered how much I hated it with our son. I feel bad. I wish I could be a person who loves it.

emmylu30 · August 2014

Hell yes but I know that it will still be a while before I am not sharing my body since I'm planning on breastfeeding. My mantra when i start to get discouraged is, "This is my last baby, this is my last baby".

GabbyCat13 · August 2014

We are doing one more after this one BUT I am DONE being pregnant. I know I'll miss it as I have with the others. I loved being pregnant with the girls but this pregnancy hasn't been as pleasant.

Dcstern13 · August 2014

I'm done! I joked with OB that if my LO decides to stay put longer than expected -- I'm gonna start taking shots of sriracha to get her to come out and introduce herself! I miss the little things of my non-pregnant self -- like my small breasts, sleeping on my stomach--- being able to SEE what I'm shaving!

megs2011 · August 2014

We were 2 and done. So after my twins I was sad i was never going to be pregnant again. That pregnancy was so much easier on me (until about 33 weeks). I was so excited for a 2nd pregnancy so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can but man, his movements hurt! I look forward to being able to move without the sharp pain caused by my sciatica. I also want to bend without a foot trying to kick it's way out. Oh and move my knees without it hurting (thank you swelling!) I keep telling myself this is my last so enjoy every min

JustCricket · August 2014

I just want to be able to exercise again. I miss the endorphine high. But all of this is so worth it

amom2four · August 2014

There are things I will miss and things I won't. I am so ready to get back into the gym, I just walked around the block the other night and hurt myself so gym has to wait. I will miss the nice little kicks. Not so much the huge pain inducing freak outs, but the cute flutters. I am actually ok with dh being really bad about following through with medical things and think I'll be able to talk him into waiting for permanent BC, I'm only 31 and I may want one more as my older kids start leaving the house!!
