Re: GTKY: Pre-pregnancy

  • Wine. Advil. Running. Roller coasters. Regular sex. Weed.

    Haha, call me immature but when I saw that you put weed I died laughing. Way to be honest!

  • I haven't had to make too many changes since being pregnant.  I guess I miss not waking up in the night to pee, but really that's it.  I still run which keeps me active and sane.  Granted it's not as far or as fast as I was pre-pregnancy but I get 3-4 miles in  DH is doing light weight training with me for another activity.

    For those that say they miss running, may I ask why you stopped?  I can understand if you have a risky pregnancy, if I was in that scenario I def would stop.  This is strictly out of curiousity, I'm not judging.
  • Wine. Migraine preventative. Wearing pants that I can actually button and zip all the way. Sleeping on my back. Sleeping through the night. Having energy. Staying up past 8:00. Brunch with bottomless mimosas. 
  • Beer! I still have a little on occasion, but I reeeeaaaally miss my high ABV Belgians.
    Rye whiskey (DH bought me a wonderful bottle for Chrismas last year. There's still about 1/3 of it left, and it's driving me crazy seeing it sit on the countertop!) APRIL.
    Sleeping on my stomach
    Not having to pee all the time
    Staying awake past 10 PM
    Lack of back pain

    Really, not all that much has changed. I can't complain.
  • My migraine medication.

    Being able to sit on the floor and not feel like I broke my back when u stand back up.

    Being able to sleep on my back.

    Amusement park rides. We're annual passholders at Disney World and not being able to ride Rock N Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror is such a disappointment. :(

    I think we just became friends :) 
    The week we found out I was pregnant with DD a good friend of our bought a nice bottle of whiskey to share to celebrate his new "career" job that he got after graduation. And that's when Jon found out I was pregnant, because there's no other reason to turn down a glass of my own. SO sad.

    I can't imagine trying to hide pregnancy over the holidays. That would be torture!
  • Beer. Wine. Fruity mixed drinks. Margaritas. Vodka tonics. Champagne. --- I'm not a huge drinker, but I miss them all.

    Not having 'mom guilt' over eating like crap, not drinking water, etc.

    I stopped running not bc it wasn't safe but my dr advised that for my own piece of mind I might want to wait until after the first trimester to really work out. I had a miscarriage in the spring and during the pregnancy I kept running as usual and the end result was obviously awful. I'm certain running had nothing to do with it, but it's still hard not to associate the two in my mind. I will say tho that I couldnt deal with not working out at all the whole first tri so after about 7 weeks I started going back to the gym and using the elliptical instead. Now I've started doing some very light run/walking but at this point I'm bigger and it's kind of uncomfortable! Boooo.

    A *good* whiskey is just the best! And I'm super lucky that my DH doesn't care for it. All for me!

    High ABV Belgians! I feel ya!

    And I had colleagues who just went to a conference in Scotland and I made sure to tell them all to have an extra scotch for me because I miss booze. :(

    I feel like I need to add raw sushi and bloody steaks to my list. California rolls and overlooked meat are not doing it for me right now.
    I'm with you on this one. Rare steaks and sashimi, yum <3

    Yeah... Anxiety is a bitch without it. Meds have never helped for long since I tend to just adapt to them. I was so pissed we only got 58% on the last vote for legalizing it in FL. It has to be 60% to pass by majority here. Honestly if it was legal, I would probably still use it now, but it's too much of a risk with LO involved.
  • Sex, clear skin, and being active. My physical activity is limited due to friable cervix...yay me. Sex drive is strong but cant have sexy time :(
  • Sushi, not feeling out of breath and having clear skin. These pimples are awful

  • 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.

    All I want right now is a hoegaarden.
