What can you no longer do while pregnant?

What were you able to do easily before being pregnant that is now a struggle??

I can't ride my horse anymore because I don't fit in the saddle.

And tonight hubby had to take the nail polish off my toes for me.

  • I crawl into DD's playhouse with her all the time, and this evening I realized that my time is ticking for when I'll have to figure out a game where mommy stays outside :) 

    My big loss is skating. My doctor strongly advised me to stop skating by 24 weeks. I know that this means I won't be in my rollerblades again until next spring unless we have a miraculously snowless late November/early December in Minnesota...

  • Painting my toenails Shaving! Bending over to pick something up. Even getting out of bed is hard now I have to roll
  • Sleeping on my belly! I still try in my sleep but it's not comfy when I wake up.
  • @MandahGirly I'm also a stomach sleeper. I miss it so much !!!!! Takes me awhile to fall asleep ~X(
  • Putting my nail polish on hasn't even happened! I had a hard time taking the nail polish off so I haven't even tried to put a new color on! Lol. Also trying to put pants on without sitting down is hard, I wobble too much. And walking up to the third floor of my apartment has been killing me lately! I want a chair lift installed!
  • I can still do everything thus far thankfully!
  • Drive. I get extremely dizzy and dr has no clue why!
  • I miss riding my horses, too. I had to quit when I found out I was pregnant. My doctor and family insisted. Both of my boys are still green and a little spooky still. Can't wait to get back in the saddle!

    Shaving, pedicures, and getting out of bed are also struggles!
  • Tying my shoes is a task. I told my boyfriend I'm soon getting shoes for work that are slip on because this isn't going to work much longer. Picking things up from the floor and sitting on the floor or the counter. I love to sit on the counter and watch the kids entertain themselves at the table but now I can barely get up there lol.
  • I can't breathe properly anymore. I think it must be the squished lungs but I always find myself taking big deep breaths and still feeling lightheaded. Especially if it's hot!
  • Putting on socks:( getting up from anywhere.. i work for a car rental company so getting into large/small vehicles.. and getting back out of the small ones.
  • -Tummy sleeping
    -Getting up from the bed when laying down
    -Getting up off the floor after changing/playing with dd1
    -putting on underwater/pants/short/skirt standing
    -I wasn't a huge wine drinker before getting pregnant (an occasional bottle over a few days during the school year maybe more frequent over the summer with mikes hard or something fruity/fun like thay) but now that I choose not to have any I really miss it.
    -I also miss my hormones being more even keeled. I go from loving being a mom to desperately needing a break and then feeling guilty about needing the break.
  • Walking without waddling. No matter how hard I try not to, I waddle. I agree with @smlowe9311 about hormones. I had a not so lovely freak out moment last night over my husbands view on time. I normally can keep these crazy hormones in check but last night I was not successful.

    I miss unwinding with a glass of wine, I was not a big drinker before getting pregnant. BUT found the best wine I had ever had right before getting pregnant and miss it, especially when I'm having a hard day at work. Ice tea and water just aren't the same to help unwind.
  • Shaving is the real struggle now . My boyfriend does it for me now . He also puts on my shoes too . Sleeping in a comfy position is impossible . The on position I find comfy (on my back) isn't allowed so I just settle for hip pain every night . Seat belts are so uncomfortable now . No way around that but I deff feel the difference now .

    Eat a full meal! Poop without worrying about hemorrhoids! Sleep on my stomach!

    I can barely pick something up off of the floor without getting stuck. I can't cut my own toe nails, and it is almost impossible to shave my own legs!
  • The only thing I've really had trouble with is getting out of bed. I have to roll myself off because it's almost impossible to just sit up.

    This isn't a physical limitation, but the one thing I really miss being able to do is cook. If it's not in a can, it's not happening. Raw meat grosses me out and the smell still makes me vomit. I've tried and it never ends well. I'm ready to be able to cook again. :(
  • Sneezing without peeing a little!

    The first time this happened to me I was literally like WTF just happened!?!? This also happens if I am laughing really really hard.

  • Lets see I cant bend down to pick anything up with feeling I ran a marathon and it also happens when i walk for more than five minutes.. I cant shave as easily anymore. I cant sleep on my belly. I cant get out of bed as easily anymore I cant even sit on the sofa without getting stuck anymore. Also eating cold lunchmeat and queso dip. Its not pasterurized so my doc told me I cant eat it anymore :(

    It takes me 10 minutes to roll over in bed. I am starting to have trouble getting up from the floor if I sit down, and even sitting down is a struggle.

    I haven't been able to see my lady parts since before my son was born, but now getting into a position to shave is near impossible. Sitting down in the tub means struggling to stand back up.

    It's only a matter of time before I'm going to have to let my two year old paint my toenails.
