[MrsTurner2012]

Cocktails! An ice cold beer! A bottle of wine! I sound like an alcoholic! Promise I'm not!

I just miss socialising and that usually involves it.

Normal sex will be a novelty without the bump getting in the way!

Cannot wait to be able to get comfy in bed either. Now my hips just ache and I have to roll over like a whale!

I'm not enjoying pregnancy! Does that make me a bad mother?!

 

[Kellya009]

Yellow grey I want to burn that stupid snoogle pillow. I hate the fact that I need it to sleep!!

 

[Kellya009]

Oh and sex positions other than spooning will be very welcome. Even being able to hug hubby without bump getting in the way will be nice!!

 

[Rafferty]

Good thread idea!
Sushi
red wine
cold beer
shopping for my regular sized body
Being able to sit on thd floor when I play with my 3 year old
long walks and being able to climb the stairs without getting winded
being able to take cold meds when sick
not being stared at when I enter a room (or at least not my belly!)

FYI - for those looking forward to sleeping on their bellies again post pregnancy ...this did not happen for a while! If you breastfeed those ladies get very sore when you lay on them!

I can't agree more with the whale thing. I'm pretty sure the world temporarily tips off it's axis whenever I roll over in bed at the moment. It's like this big event that I have to prepare fpr beforehand

I certainly hope not otherwise we could probably start a bad mothers club together! Pregnancy has not exactly been a big old bundle of laughs!

Damn! I didn't even think of that you've just trashed my hopes and dreams y'know, I hope you're satisfied

I agree!! My OH complains that I roll over like a whale actually haha and I just moan and pray for sleep!!
And I do not glow or any of that fairy tale land stuff.,I cant wait to be done I have never carried extra weight and it is not pleasant!! I want my sweet girl here and belly gone then I want to work out and be a hot mama lol

 

[MomPepperdine]

I have been craving beer since I got pregnant! Its crazy I was never a big beer drinker but before I knew I was pregnant I was drinking a lot more beers then normal oops! Its been my bigets craving. Ill sit next to dh and smell his beer and take a sip just to get the taSte and being able to sleep I have the hardest time falling asleep then when I wake up I feel like I turned off but didn't charge! Soooo annoying

Alos excited to go to silverwood my friend works there this yr so free passes were going to bring my mom so the kids can come and not be away lol

 

[rajnin]

Love being preggi but looking forward to being able to wear my wedding rings! (Hands are swollen) and wear shoes instead of living in flip flops! (Feet swollen)

Loosing some weight ( put on 15kg)

Eating coleslaw from the Deli

Not weeing myself or having to get up 6 times a night to go wee but lol I guess that will be replaced by getting up for baby!
Other than that not missing much! I think I will miss feeling the baby inside me more!

 

[funinthesun]

feeling lighter

no more heartburn

being able to go to the toilet more regularly!

drinking alcohol

wearing my normal clothes

less questions from people eg when are you due, do you know if its a boy or girl, do you have names picked

taking medications when sick

hopefully the veins in my legs will look less obvious

 

[Kellya009]

Ooh, how about having normal bowel movements? No more back and forth between diarrhea and constipation lol.

 

[9jawife]

For me..

Sleeping on my back
Wine (although it's not going to be so simple because I'll be breast feeding)
Horseback riding

 

[sassymrsbee]

I was just making a list to myself last night!
-A nice cold glass of Moscato
-A HOT bath!
-Sex, period. Haven't even had the desire or ability as I feel like a whale
-getting comfortable in bed
-being able to lay on my back to read without feeling dizzy and out of breath
-having control of my bladder
-not feeling like I'm giving birth when having a BM
-not having people constantly remind me of how huge I am
-no more belly touching
-no waddling
-being able to actually eat what I want without feeling like I'm dying of heartburn afterwards

For the record, I do love being pregnant, I'm just at the "really uncomfortable" end stage and I'm ready to be done whenever little miss decides to come out

 

[lolita1990]

Oh yeah definitely lying on my stomach. Missed that!

Shellfish, pâté, baked Camembert, Stilton... Basically all the food we're not allowed is all my favourite food

Wearing shoes. I've only got one pair that fits me just now and they're horrible, old, tatty things. Can't wait to buy some heeled boots

A cold beer.

I've got a list of clothes as long as my arm that I can't wait to buy!!!

Exercising properly which is strange for me because I hate exercising! I just feel like I need to RUN! And build up a sweat from activities other than trying to get up out of bed and bouncing on my ball.

And finally, I can't wait to put my engagement ring back on! I bloody love it and due to swelling I've been unable to wear it since about 32 weeks

 

[spinneybaby]

getting back in shape and eating better- my cravings have ot been for the greatest of foods!...I just ate a delicious Black bottom chocolate cupcake with melted creamcheese icing...yum...but guilty!

Eating Sushi
Wine
going to Florida next April with both kids
sleep without peeing 50 times a night
being able to run and play with my son easier!

 

[tubs]

Red wine!!!

 

[LilMiss_91]

I don't think anyone honestly realises just how much you have to give up during pregnancy!

I gotta join you ladies and add that normal BM's will be rather nice to have back! Not going for days on end and then suddenly having to go RIGHT THAT SECOND is getting boring!

 

[Equreuil]

-A Rum and Coke
-A nice long soak in the hot tub
-Sleeping comfortably (if not for long stretches of time)
-NOT being treated like I'm made of glass

I would say sushi, but I have indulged (in moderation) while pregnant, while avoiding the raw kinds, without a problem.

 

[Bubsta]

I'm not a drinker, but man, have I craved a couple of drinks since being pregnant. Would love a Frangelico with a lime wedge. Yum! Or Cointreau lime and soda. I'd normally say a glass of red but I have heartburn at the moment so a glass of red at this moment wouldn't excite me, but normally it would appeal! (Not a bad list for someone who doesn't drink! Lol)
Camembert and/or feta
McFlurry!
Deli chicken loaf with Mayo on fresh bread.
Having some kind of sex drive
Being able to spoon Hubby
Being able to roll over in bed without feeling like a whale struggling with 10 tonne of pillows in the bed.
Getting off the couch easily.
Stop waddling.
More energy.
Losing weight and exercising.
No tummy tightening unless I choose to have them with exercise!
Being able to do up shoes. Maybe wear some heels!

I'm sure there are heaps more but having baby brain, I can't really think.

Not long now! X
