GTKY: Pre-pregnancy

kalanieileenkalanieileen member
in April 2016 Moms
So since there is a thread about what do you love about being pregnant, it got me thinking about the things I loved BEFORE I was pregnant.

I miss roller coasters, cigarettes, ibuprofen, alcohol, being able to talk without feeling like my chest is caving in. These are just to name a few lol

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for the baby, but damn do I miss some things I did before I got KU!

    I miss sleeping on my stomach, having a drink with DH, running, and eating what I wanted without the thought of "is this going to come back up?"

    Ugh...Pregnancy...gotta love it.

    I miss being able to eat a normal dinner most of all. For some reason, that's the worst time of day.

    Other things I miss:
    Sleeping on my back, comfortably
    Alcohol
    Not losing my breath walking up stairs
    Advil (it's like candy, for headaches!)
    Sex on a regular basis and not just weekends

    I do, however, love maternity pants and not having to suck in.

    Sleeping on my stomach, being able to drink water without gagging, not having my nose literally give me some random disgusting smell for popcorn, cooking meat or skunks. I seriously did not know so many skunks got hit on the side of the road. To stay up past 8:45 and not be totally exhausted the next day.

    Having my energy back, alcohol, regular sex, being able to breathe, and sleeping on my stomach.

    I wouldn't trade any of it, but I expect white monster and good bourbon from anyone who wants to visit while I'm on maternity leave.

    Sleeping on my stomach, not throwing up everyday, cuddling with my daughter in her bed comfortably, wine on days like today, having patience.

    But ditto @AEG84 on the maternity pants. Sooo comfy.

    WINE,
    Unlimited amounts of coffee,
    But mostly being able to go to the bathroom without the help of Milk of Magnesia. It's amazing how much I took that for granted.

    I miss running, not being nauseous, fitting in all my normal clothes and eating healthy... all I want to eat is junk all the time! I'm sure there's more that I can't think of right now.

    I miss wine/ champagne. And I think that's it. I don't think anything else is different, really. :)

    It's so bad! I will start gagging and hard coughing which is a sign that I need to lay down. It's so bad. I hate it.

    Rum.

    Brain cells. Seriously...I'm a very organized person and this forgetting stuff is working my nerves.

    Being able to breathe.

    Being able to control the tears.

    My filter. I hope I don't get fired while pregnant.

    Did I mention rum?

    Oh the wine....and the advil. But then again, no wine means less headaches therefore eliminating the need for advil. I do get some headaches here and there but luckily tylenol has been sufficient!

    Sleeping.
    Energy.

    I am not missing much being pregnant. I miss not being "fat" but other than that nothing. I love roller coasters but I never get to go on them anyway due to not living near any.

    I miss wine and drinking obscene amounts of coffee. I miss sex, and I miss feeling sexy (whose body even is this?!). I miss going out to happy hour after work and being able to get tipsy. And preemptively, I miss travelling like an adult and having the time to read books that don't have pictures. You can't sit out by the fountain in the piazza people-watching until 1 am with a bottle of wine, plastic cups, and your child (or at least, we probably won't). And it's gonna be so much harder to come home and just get so wrapped up in a novel that you forget to eat dinner when I've got to attend to the needs of an infant.

    Knowing what pants will fit on any given day.
    Beer and whiskey-Cokes (or just a whiskey).
    Eating a full meal and still being able to breathe.
    The ability to fall asleep at night
    A SEMI-regular digestive system
    My sex drive (sorry DH).

    Also, we're STILL horrible about planning ahead for a babysitter, so I miss date nights and the ability to do much of anything spontaneously.

    I haven't had to change anything, except, now I have to do daily injections. I could do without those.

    Alcohol, my sex drive, regular clothes, being able to breath, energy, and patience. I also really miss my twisting yoga poses and inversions. All I want to do is to twist enough to crack my back and then do a shoulder stand.

    Honest to God, I miss the gym.
    And working.
    Also, my only-recently-found desire to share physical affection? Being pregnant made me untouchable again, and it breaks my heart to see DH's face when I shy away. He's used to it, but we'd made huge progress, and I know to be back at square one hurts us both.

    Wine, Belgian beer with DH in the pub, being able to sit with my friends who are all smokers without feeling guilty, sleeping on my stomach, not have to wonder "Is it okay if I eat this" every time I'm about to eat something, sleeping on my stomach, migraine medicine, Sleeping. On. My. Stomach.

    Wine, wine, & wine. And coffee, sleeping on my stomach, feeling sexy/desirable, and being able to do longer/more intense work outs. Also, I miss just being normal! The extra attention, questions, how are yous, from friends and family are nice but I also find them a little overwhelming! Hope that doesn't make me sound like an ungrateful biotch!

    I miss being able to play with DD the way we normally do. Now I just have to sit on the coach and watch her play with DH. She loves to jump and climb all over us, and while I'll admit sometimes it drives me nuts, when she's standing there begging me to get on the floor and do airplane with her, breaks my heart a little that I can't.

    I miss having energy and feeling like a normal person. Being able to drink as much caffeine as I want. I miss my body and feeling sexy, I'm not loving my pregnant body with the extra fat on my hips and a protruding belly. I miss my boobs, I'm not enjoying them being bigger and my nipples got darker. I miss not having all this excess mucus and gagging every time I blow my nose. I miss wine and margaritas!!! I miss sleeping through the night without waking up 5 times to pee. I miss fitting into my jeans. Being able to bend over easily. Ibuprofen and extra strength headache medicine. Sushi, wine and monsters.

    Wine, horseback riding and SCUBA diving. Clearly, my activities were not designed for pregnancy! Not that I've got the energy for them anyway.

    Wine, alcohol in general but mostly wine. 

    Also, I miss having friends over on the weekends for drinks, my social life in general, sleeping on my back, sleeping through the night, skiing, running, a GOOD hardcore workout, my pre-pregnancy body and feeling sexy for my husband.

    I miss running, having energy, normal hormones (i.e.: not snapping at everyone around me all the time), sleeping on my tummy, and drinking wine.
