What pregnancy no-no do you miss most?

I really have enjoyed being pregnant. It's a special time and after having a loss, it's something I don't take for granted. HOWEVER, there are certainly some things I miss. In no particular order:
1. Sushi
2. Advil (specifically the blue gel ones)
3. Alcohol!!
4. Medium rare red meat
What about you?

Re: What pregnancy no-no do you miss most?
2. Heavy lifting at the gym
3. Jumping around
4. Subway sandwich(pile on the bologna)
5. Strawberry daquari!!!
Now no surfing this summer
Alcohol
Mid rare meat
Certain cheeses and sushi grade tuna
I'm still eating sushi and rare meat and having the occasional glass of wine (STM, obv).
(I also miss sleeping through the night without getting up to pee every 2 hours, but that's not a pregnancy no-no. LOL)
(My non pregnant body)
2. Bike riding (especially in summer!)
3. Rare - medium rare meat (I prefer my steaks practically mooing)
4. Generally just not having to worry too much about what I put on/in/around my body
Eta breathing isn't really a no no, just something I miss the most!
Snowboarding and skiing (I hate that I'm going to miss this season).
Being able to roll over in bed or get out of bed easily.
Running at the park with my dog.
Carrying anything that is deemed 'heavy' by my husband (who won't let me carry things anymore).
Cake batter and cookie batter.
Random ham, chicken and eggs that I didn't prepare myself.
I still have a glass of wine / champagne at special occasions and medium-rare red meat but I do miss being able to have those things in excess!
Otherwise I have not given up much. I still eat sandwiches, have my steak medium rare, eat soft cheese ( most is pasturized in the US ), and even have an occasional beer. My baby has been doing well
Running/ working out
Sandwiches
My mobility
Playing roller derby
Being able to comfortably workout (everything hurts and gets swollen so fast, ugh).
Alcohol. I do have a small glass of wine every now and then, but it is so not enough.
Clothes. Most maternity clothes are seriously hideous to me. You can fork over tons of money for the really nice stuff, but I have hard time dong that for clothes I will only wear a couple of months. I don't have an issue with getting nicer things in my regular wardrobe because I consider it an investment (especially work stuff).
Sex. Pregnancy sex is not for me.

SURPRISE!!! Emma Leigh - due 8/27/2015 (c-section date 8/7/2015)
2. Eating raw batter and cookie dough
3. My sex drive
4. Being able to easily shave my crotch
Alcohol for sure. Mostly just want some cold beers on a hot days.
Biking (not that I think it's bad, it's just so uncomfortable now), scuba diving, zip lining, jumping on a trampoline, HOT YOGA. Oh how I miss these activities.
And pretty bummed about missing Burning Man this year.
But if ever there was a good excuse... I do suppose this is it!
The likelihood of getting sick from eating deli meats is also extremely low (much more likely to get sick from contaminated produce) but it's ok to be paranoid when pregnant.
