who here misses...

their pre-preg body? don't get me wrong, i'm so excited for these babies and all that. but i really miss the freedom to move any which way i want! as soon as my doctor gives me the okay, i'm RUNNING outside, SKIPPING around, and finishing off with a CARTWHEEL.

 

I miss being able to bend over to tie my shoes I miss being able to get in and out of the car within 2 seconds On a positive note, I can't wait to see my girls!

 

I agree! I told my husband I am very sad that I can't take a tennis lesson every day in the Florida heat when we are on vacation next week. Oh, the good old days when I could jump, run and push my body to the limit with no one to worry about hurting but myself.

 

I miss my old body.

Don't get me wrong I am excited about my soon to be boys, but I wish I could walk up there stairs without getting winded and being able to get off the couch with out any assistance

 

I cant wait to sleep on my belly again! Thats what I miss the most.

 

I miss sleeping on my back! I used to eventually turn to my side but I always fell asleep on my back. I also miss having energy and being able to exercise and run and jump. And I know this sounds selfish and will never be the same but I really really miss going out with DH after work on Fridays for a drink and a cigarette!!!

Oh and I also miss wearing normal pants without elastic and I miss DH finding me attractive because I can just tell he doesn't like the way I look pregnant!! When I ask him if he likes my belly he says "Well I like what's IN your belly"

 

i completely agree!! Actually ill be clothes shopping and i keep trying to go to "normal" clothes, instead of maternity! But i miss sleeping on my stomach the most, and being able to bend over, and get out of bed quicker then 2 mins!

 

I miss being able to go for a quick 3 miler or bike ride. I miss not having pain in my ribs. I miss not being out of breath because I walked up the stairs too quickly. But most of all I miss snuggling up to DH and not having my belly as the main point of contact and wrestling with my dog on the floor and chasing him around. By him I mean DH and the dog....

I do, I do. Ditto to everything in your post.

 

I so miss the little things like sleeping on my stomach, being able to stand up without assistance, exercising, bending down, tying my shoes, lifting things, seeing my and the list goes on.....

oooh ooooh, I cant believe I forgot that one! I want to see my ****** again! I miss her!

 

I miss it too! I miss sleeping on my back, wearing clothes that fit and that are stylish, going for walks and being able to shave my legs without the belly getting in the way!

 

I miss sleeping on my stomach and being able to roll over without everything hurting. I also miss playing with my son on the floor.

 

I still miss my pre-pregnancy body. :laughing: Even after losing all the weight, your body (at least mine) is just not the same.

 

i miss having a waist and wearing belts. i miss baby making with my husband....or, heck, giving him a normal hug! i miss being able to breathe and not having to pee everfy 2 seconds. i miss my ankles. i miss seeing my feet and being able to shave without breaking my back to do so.

 

I miss sleeping on my tummy, being quick and effiecient at things (it seems that most things take so much longer to do), being able to sit on a chair and get close to a table. But i know that soon it will be over and i will be holding my babies!!

 

i also miss sleeping on my stomach and just sprawling out on the bed, and i miss grooming certain areas that my DH won't help me with because he's afraid he'll cut me. Lord knows what kind of jungle is going on down there! :bad:

AAAND, i also miss just having a beer and a cigarette :blush:

That is too funny! LOL! I guess I am lucky to have a DH who helps to groom me otherwise I don't know what I would do! :blush:

okay if my dh ever said this to me he'd be in the dog house forever!!!!! Even if that's how he really felt he better LIE like crazy to convince me that he loves my pg body!!!! :laughing:

Fortunately, either my dh is a very good liar...or he really does like my pg body. LOL! But I do miss my normal body...but wait... compared to my twin pg I still kind of feel like I am in my normal body!! So let that be a comfort to you pg twin mommas... you know that if you ever have another (singleton) pg it's gonna feel like you aren't really even pg until you hit like week 30 or so. I mean, over labor day weekend when I was like 27 weeks I actually played a little badmitton!! And I did pretty well at it too... for a pg momma!! (okay so I wasn't diving to hit the birdie...but I returned some good ones!)

I want to see pictures. :laughing:

 

Seriously, could you imagine even attempting a cartwheel at this point? LOL. The extra weight would just completely mess it all up....*trying not to picture this * LOL

 

All of the above! My toes look awful! I can't reach my a--! I manage to groom with a mirror but sure takes alot of time. And I miss having pretty boobs, they look hidious! I mostly miss riding my Horse!!!!!! I am so excited to get back in the saddle (if I ever have time)

Has anyone noticed how much harder it is to pee in the specimen cup now! I use to have no problem, now I pee all over my hand and all over the cup, it's a nightmare. Ha ha!

hahahahaha, I pee all over my hand almost everytime now!

 

i actually missed altogether today and peed all over the toilet seat (i hover when i pee in public bathrooms :blush: )

 

Hate to rub it in girls but I am loving not having a huge belly!! I love sleeping on my belly again, hugging my DF, shaving my legs in the shower all by MYSELF!!! Not quite up for cartwheels or running, but I'll be there soon....
Unfortunately, as much as everyone said I didn't gain anywhere but my belly, it was true and I now have about an extra 5 lbs of streched out skin on my belly that I would LOVE to get rid of....why are tummy tucks so darn expensive????

Oh well.....my boys are worth it!!!

the last two weeks i have experienced this myself. sure does make you feel like a lovely gem of a lady, doesn't it?

 

I think you guys are psychic or something. Every time I have a new notion, question etc, someone posts about it. I SOOOOOO MISS NOT SHARING MY BODY. I love sitting on the floor cross legged, cant do that anymore, my legs go numb and BOY is it a mission to get back up again!! I also love sleeping on my stomach(sleeping all night used to be nice too) wrestling with my nephew, chasing my niece and play-fighting DH. (wont even mention sex )
I cant wait to have some stamina back (so that I can have a shower and get dressed/ready without being buggered) and even lift some weights.
I was saying to DH the other day that I am gonna wanna run around for a bit once I'm not pregnant anymore - just coz I CAN. lol
Hang in there ladies

hahaha I've done this too. I was at the ultrasound place in the handicap stall and using that bar to help balance myself and still missed! Peed all over the seat, probably the floor too, and was just so happy I didnt get any on my pants or anything. :lol:

My boobs are hideous too lease tell me they eventually go back to looking normal. I too pee on my hand with the specimen cup :lol: I thought i was the only one I have to clean the cu before I hand it in

 

yeah...i don't even want to talk about the jungle. i am not one of those ladies who like to be all natural down there. i don't want to look like i am holding Carrot Top between my legs, if you know what i mean. i can't even reach the sucker now, though...and i wouldn't let dh touch it because it's swollen. (just one more thing to make me feel like a sexy beast)
