  I chose SS. I don't really drink so not a big deal to me. And I haven't really limited my food. I really look forward to not worrying what medicines I can take. I miss NyQuil.

  @krendel1990 I totally meant to put REAL medicine on there, momma is dying for Excedrin but I won't be able to have that again until I finish breastfeeding!

  I totally miss booze. We just started making wine/beer and DH has been raving over the quality of the stout etc.
  
  Otoh, it would have been great to have NyQuil these past couple of weeks while I was fighting off the flu (sucks to catch the flu even after having gotten the flu shot).

  I just want a damn beer. I almost feel like this is a pregnancy thing and I won't really want one after I give birth because I have never wanted a beer the way I have for the last 3 weeks.

  I would love a real pill for my allergies. This whole Benadryl thing has been fun but I have missed Zyrtec.

  SS: I have waited 8 long months to go sky diving with DH. I found out I was pregnant two days prior to his birthday and we were going to go together. So as soon as I'm healed and comfortable we are going

  I don't drink, I've still had coffee.
  
  Ibuprofen does sound appealing too though!

  I'm not a fan of this question or this line of thinking because you still have to watch your intake of certain things while BFing. For instance, decongestants can negatively affect lactation. And BFing moms shouldn't take xanax. My grandmother died while I was BFing DD, and I wanted a xanax so badly while dealing with my family. 

  
  

  Also, what I really want is to get completely hammered. Even if I were willing to do so while BFing, I still have to get up the next morning and parent a toddler and an infant. No thanks! 

  Yes but not all of F15 will be breastfeeding.  This wasn't meant as a post to encourage people to go crazy after delivery, it's a lighthearted "what would you do" question...even though I really miss Excedrin and drinking I GUESS I'll hold off until I'm done breastfeeding ;-)

  Well, clearly wine. All the wine.
  
  But I chose SS: running. I miss getting to have that time to clear my head and enjoy the outdoors. And tough workouts. Getting in a good sweat always makes me feel amazing.

  Never much of a big drinker but every time I am preggo I suddenly crave alcohol! So one big Applebee's apple sangria & i would be satisfied ; ) usually my craving instantly goes away though so i probably won't even get to indulge!

  I also agree with ibuprofen. What I would give to have my liquid Advil gels back during these awful migraines.
  
  Is anybody still able to work out? My doctor told me to basically give up trying. But I love the after feeling of a good work out. I really miss kickboxing and being able to go all out.

  I get that, I don't mean to get all Debby Downer Ms. Serious Face. I just so badly want to go crazy- like drink a whole bottle of champagne and smoke a cigar, or something equally as stupid. I think it's because I had only a month in between BFing DD1 and getting KU'd with DD2. My body has been sustaining another human's life since August of 2012, and I sooooo want my body back! 
  
  I hear ya, I got pregnant while still breastfeeding so I haven't had my body be "my own" for...2+ years?! That being said, I do drink while breastfeeding after reading all of the science behind alcohol in breastmilk, so I will at least be indulging in my cocktail with dinner!

  I would give my left leg for a Maker's Mark on the rocks right now. I'll be BFing as well....PUMP AND DUMP. I probably wouldn't even be able to finish a glass after not drinking for so long. I also forgot about real medicine. I miss my Lunesta. I miss it even more now that pregsomnia is in full-effect nowadays.

  @Xoxolicia If I remember correctly, you don't need to pump and dump. Just like the alcohol will migrate from your bloodstream into your breastmilk, when your BAC falls it'll migrate back out, I think. Double check on that, don't rely on my faulty memory.

  Yes, booze in your breast milk is like booze in your blood stream. There are charts you can find that will tell you based on your weight and what you are drinking how long you need to wait until you feed again. Also the best time to drink is right before or while you are feeding - as it takes approx 30 min to get into your milk.
  
  No need to pump and dump!

  I voted booze but I'm looking forward to the caffeine too. I have had a sip or two of wine/beer here and there throughout the pregnancy and I have had a cup of 1/2 caff coffee every morning but I can't wait for REAL, strong coffee and a whole beer (or two) all to myself.

  I put special snowflake.  Mine is diet coke.  Although it tastes so much better to me right now, so maybe thats just pregnancy talking.  I feel bad when I drink it and usually only have sips of DH's.  

  
  

  I didn't go with alcohol only because I really don't miss it at all, which is super surprising to me.  I was a drinker before (Wine on fridays, a scotch 1 or 2 times a week after work) and I'm continually surprised at how uninterested I am in alcohol and how bad it tastes.

  There were a few articles that just came out on this about a month ago.  They were probably all citing the same study, which I didn't look at though. But yes, this is exactly what they all said.

  I'm still working out but it's not the same AT ALL! I miss my bootcamps SO bad. I miss lifting all the weights. I miss HIIT and pushing past the point where my body wants to quit. Waddling around the gym for an hour and struggling with the girlie weights or huffing and puffing while barely maintaining a jog are what I call workouts now. I can't wait to get back to my pre-pregnancy fitness level.
