Post-baby wishlist. What's yours?

[LilMiss_91]

So, obviously what we're all looking forward to most is that first glimpse of our babies, the first cry, the first touch, the first cuddle
But what are you looking forward to being able to do after bubs is here and our bodies are our own again? I have a few!

I'm looking forward to a bottle of ice cold Corona with lime while sat in the garden in the sunshine. I'm not even a big drinker so no idea why this is on my post-baby wishlist!
Also me and my best friend are planning a day trip to a theme park next summer. We usually go every year but obviously haven't been able to this year!
Being able to lay on my stomach again!
*Fingers crossed* will be going to see a rock/metal band with my OH next year when bubs is big enough for me to feel comfortable leaving him overnight with grandparents.
And finally... being able to see my lady parts to shave them will be quite a novelty

So what's on you post-baby wishlist?

Getting a normal weight again, and getting fit! I can barely walk up hills these days also my LO cant wait until i can run with him and bounce on the bed

 

[sue_88]

Pâté definitely! My mum is bringing some when I go into labour and it's the first thing I am eating when Millie is born!!

Champagne....I'm not really a wine / beer drinker, I always have champagne or prosecco & I have missed it so I'll be having a glass when Millie is born with the pate! Then will have on occasion as I'll hopefully be feeding her.

Sleeping on my tum!

Sleeping in general !!!

 

[LilMiss_91]

Great wishlists ladies

Surprising how quite a few mention pate... I can't stand the stuff at all lol.

Can't believe I forgot losing weight and getting back into all my nice normal clothes again! So many lovely dresses that will have to weight until next summer *sigh*

 

[Smudge101]

Sleeping on my stomach
Pâté and crackers
Pimms and Lemonade (I'm not a big drinker but can't wait for a summertime Pimms)
Being able to walk up the hill I live on without dying halfway up
Being able to start running
Being able to paint my own toenails

That should do for now!

 

[MumMumMum]

Sleeping on my front, being able to carry my DD1 more easily and play on the floor with her without getting stuck, drive our other car which at the moment I can't because the steering wheel touches my bump!

 

[Jewel07]

Sleeping on stomach!!
Being able to bend over ie paint my toes, pick things up without groaning lol
Not feeling full To the brim after 5 mouthfuls!
A wine or cider in the garden
Walking my dog, hubby has to now and has for sometime I can't cope with long walks
No more throbbing feet!
No backache!
Not peering like a million times a day!
Not having to change my knickers loadsa times a day!
Being able to fit in my clothes again
Not feeling generally uncomfortable

But I do love being preggers

Defo high up on my list is having my body back to myself! I've only gained 1stone 11 lbs but I'm used to being small and the excess weight fees like a burden at the mo.
oh and a glass of wine too, mmmmmm it's been a while!!!!

 

[AsEn11]

I also am craving an iced cold corona with lime haha..sounds like tthe best thing on the planet

I have a tattoo I really need to get fixed (covered up) so cant wait for that
To have energy and sleep without pain!
working out..ahh I cannot wait to get my body back!
TO bend over
Wine..
Sex without being uncomftorable
and I cannot wait to not have to worry about what she is doing in there

 

[Carly.C]

Oh.... And another, I can't wait 2 wake up in the morning and not scour my stomach for stretch marks, still praying I don't get them!

 

[Scottish]

Great thread!

I also can't wait to sleep on my tummy!

Not needing to pee every hour (especially at night)

Feeling normal again!

Having more energy again

Putting my old clothes back on instead of the same things everty few days

No more heartburn or nausea

Going out for long walks as I can't just now due to feeling knackered quickly

I would like to also say been able to have unbroken sleep by not needing to pee or cause bump in way but I think the baby will ensure that doesn't happen lol

 

[LilMiss_91]

Great replies ladies! Keep 'em coming can definitely relate to a lot of these!

Glad you like the thread as well

 

[AshLMT]

Sleeping on my stomach!! Side sleeping is just not the most comfortable thing in the world

Being able to have my "normal" appetite back rather than just a few bites and being painfully full for 4-5 hours afterwards

Receiving deep tissue massage on my legs

Having my own body back - altho I will absolutely miss the movements of my little girl
