What do you miss most about not being pregnant?

rw3190 · April 2015

Enjoying the weather this weekend I started thinking about things I miss doing since becoming pregnant. I have to say hands down its running. I used to get rid of so much stress going for a nice jog.
I also miss scuba diving....but not as much

AziaNick · April 2015

Everything outdoors, my work out sessions, feeling good and not sick, traveling....pretty much everything, BUT it is definitely worth it

corndogrobot · April 2015

Beer. Defiantly beer.

Ckorines · April 2015

Italian Heroes. Keep your wine, beer, alcohol....just give me some freaking cold cuts.

Beany+1 · April 2015

Just the very basic act of sleeping on my front (:|

pandd10513 · April 2015

Day drinking....beers or margaritas in the backyard on nice days. And being able to put shoes on without getting winded. I miss being able to reach my feet

chantellbroussard · April 2015

Wine. Apple hard cider. Not necessarily in that order. Being skinny. Having energy. Everything, pretty much.

MCH77 · April 2015

Wine/beer. We did a lot of lawn work this weekend and a summer ale would be amazing this afternoon.

Tiaragentile · April 2015

Hot tubs

neufiesgirl · April 2015

Not having restless legs!

lindsaypkelly · April 2015

Not feeling sick every damn day.
No matter what I eat for breakfast I always spend the next two hours on the couch trying to keep it down. It's making me especially cranky today.

Beltrankarla · April 2015

Omg I thought I was going to sound selfish if I said

Beltrankarla · April 2015

Alcohol!!!

Beltrankarla · April 2015

And crop tops.. They don't look as good when you're pregnant lol

BettyCotton · April 2015

Rare steaks and smelly cheese. I thought I would miss beer but I haven't really thought about it. Having a baby is definitely worth giving up anything at all though

afm27 · April 2015

My bikini collection. Now that my boobs have gotten ginormous, none of them fit. Pregnancy is definitely harder on me psychologically than physically. Seeing all the weight and my body changing definitely makes me miss my old waistline!

asherk · April 2015

Running (never in my life thought I would miss that so much!!) and beer. Being able to roll around on the floor with my 90 lb dog. Energy.

I thought of you and @corndogrobot the other day when I was at Eataly getting a snack. Here is what I saw....

ccarrozza1 · April 2015

I miss drinking obviously but I do occasionally have a glass of red wine. I miss margaritas. I miss soft cheeses, brie, feta, etc. I miss cold cuts. I miss wearing my regular clothes. I miss my old energetic self and being able to crouch and bend and put my shoes on. I miss going out and not worrying about how far I have to walk here and there. I miss horseback riding. I miss a lot of things but I am so happy to be able to experience pregnancy and hopefully soon give birth. So it's worth the sacrifices but yes I do miss a lot of things.

ktabs · April 2015

Sleep. Energy. Accomplishing minor chores. My FIGURE!!! I miss clothes so much I can't stand it! I am a fashionista when not pregnant and now I feel so sloppy all of the time!

pinktorridora · April 2015

Laying on my belly. Regular pants (I haven't worn anything with a zipper for a couple months now). My belly ring. Being able to avoid public bathrooms, because I could hold my pee until I got home. Not needing Zofran/Ginger Ale/sour candy to get through a work day. Sleeping through the night. Being able to shave my legs/get dressed/put shoes on without getting winded.

pinktorridora · April 2015

Can I get an AMEN, though, for NOT missing my period?!

sarahsairsair · April 2015

I miss being able to just pick up my 3yo when he's having a melt down without doing damage/ aggravating the Lightning crotch

I miss my normal clothes and energy and feeling efficient - I'm so slow at getting chores down

And I miss being able to groom- without fearing blind shaving cuts

corndogrobot · April 2015

Also.... Not peeing my pants when I cough or sneeze.

LBland09 · April 2015

Definitely my figure. This past week especially I've been feeling so emotional about it.

babymorgan72015 · April 2015

So many things but at the top of the list... running, cold cuts, sleeping on my back/stomach, not having to pee all the time, and now that I've been diagnosed with GD carbs. (Look up "dear carbs" on youtube pretty well sums up how I feel, plus it's a great laugh)

haayitstayy · April 2015

I miss having a drink after a stressful day.
Actually sweating when I'm working out because this heart rate kept at 150 bullshit is not cutting it lol
I miss running , lifting weights.
Actually just lifting anything since my family is nuts about me doing anything.
I miss pre-workout.
MY FIGURE & MY CLOTHES.
I miss drinking (I know I said it just had to say it again lol)
I miss normal sex HAHAHAHAHA . It's stretching out farther and farther now and defiantly getting awkward with the belly .
I miss not having to carry tums & stool softeners in my purse .... lol
I miss eating hotdogs.
SLEEP... Just regular sleeping on my back;stomach;etc.
Me and my bestfriend were just talking about this because she's pregnant too Hahahaha.
12 more weeks !!! Woo wooo :P

mayraverdinn · April 2015

I miss sleeping on my belly, drinking some ice cold beers or some really icy margaritas! Omg my mouth gets so watery just thinking about it. I def love having cold drinks in the summer but this summer has been totally different full of back pains & leg cramps

NatasjaMatthews · April 2015

I miss sushi and red wine!

nalise88 · April 2015

Miss not having such bad allergies. I miss being in control of my emotions
Getting adequate sleep. Not needing a spit cup. Going out to eat cuz now I always get sick. Wearing cute clothes and some of my cute shoes because I can't get them on anymore...not having stretch marks. Taking long walks and breathing free

zeppelingirl6 · April 2015

Sleeping on my back and belly.
I moved 2 wks ago, and it sucked because I could not carry most stuff, husband won't let me paint, I can't get on the ladder. I am very independent and I hate to wait for my husband to do things or ask for someone else to do it so some things are driving me nuts.

poppyL84 · April 2015

Wine, sushi, interesting cheese, pâté, chocolate and biscuits (thanks gestational diabetes), sleeping flat on my back or front, rare steak, homemade mayo and aioli, soft poached eggs... And did I mention wine?!

runnergirl29 · April 2015

Running!!!!

stormyyautumn · April 2015

A full nights sleep! Occasionally I'll find myself missing the taste of beer, but that's only when we go to our favorite restaurants that have amazing beer selections. I also miss not being in pain 24/7 when I walk or try to get out of bed in the morning.

ChristyM87 · April 2015

I miss wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes, being able to sleep through the night, and smoking

Much of the other things I don't miss because I never gave them up. I still eat my steak medium rare, have my cold cuts and soft cheese, have a beer. I also have a physical job and have still been able to walk 3-4 miles a day for work

lovermyboys · April 2015

I miss excedrin and ibuprofen. I am seriously excited to be able to take it again!

Oh yes. I have arthritis and Tylenol just isn't the same. So glad Motrin is safe while breastfeeding

gotdiesel2007 · April 2015

The only thing I really miss is people leaving me alone.I don't need your help, I don't need you o lift that. If I do I'll ask. I'm very well aware of what I can and cannot do.

Also wish people would stop freaking out bc I'm "so small" or ate this or slept like that or whatever else they feel the need to freak out about. Last week alone I was yelled at for picking up a kid at school to get him over the baby gate but they had no problem with me carrying my 30lb+ 3 yr old down the hallway?

I'm pregnant not broken and I can do, eat, drink just about anything I would normally.

rainbowBOOM · April 2015

Sleeping on my stomach

Margaritas

Beer

Lifting things

Putting on my shoes

Flats. Since I swell up in 5 minutes of wearing anything without socks.

Sex in more than one position.

Turning over in bed without sitting straight up first.

Blue cheese.

A non waddle walk.

The list could continue..........

0ashley · April 2015

Wine and drinks. I hardly drank pre-preg but now every drink I see looks so delicious! Comfy pants. I bought mostly underbelly maternity pants and they dig in all day when I'm sitting down. I'm too cheap to go out and buy all new ones.
