I'm so uncomfortable! What's driving you crazy the most about being pregnant?

Now that its towards the end of my pregnancy i find myself crying sometimes because I just was to be "normal" again. I miss doing things and goimg places and having fun. So my question is, what do you ladies miss doing the most?! Like having a beer, going out with girlfriends or just plain sleep! I miss walking around without getting tired so fast. And i miss drinking my wine while watching a good movie alone while everyone is asleep. I can't wait to do that again. :) What's your "thing" ypu miss most?

I DEFINITELY will not be doing this again. But then again this is my 8th. My last pregnancy was 7 yrs ago. And i thought i was done. But this pregnancy has been so difficult and harder than any other one. ALL the things you miss, i miss

I miss SO much!  Having drinks with friends or even just my husband, having energy to make it through an active day, being intimate with my husband, working out and actually sweating, my old body! I'm just ready to feel like myself again, definitely not one of the women that enjoys pregnancy! Are any other first time moms worried they won't want to go through this again??

I miss cracking my back! It's a bad habit, but it feels amazing. Every time I get in the car to go home after a long day at work I would twist to the left and crack it... now baby is taking up all the spare room in there lol so I can't turn like I used to =(

Awe:( it looks like we're all feeling the same. I have insomnia really bad too.. And i hate when I'm in a comfortable position finally and then i have to pee, its the worst feeling ever, the whole getting up thing is such an awesome thing and ppl take it for granted. Lol... I miss working also. I have 7 kids pregnant with #8 and i miss having extra income, but soon enough I'll be working missing my baby boy. And omg! I just said yesterday that i missed my period. Lol... I can't wait until this is over. I miss all those things too ladies, motherhood begins at conception.... We give uo so much even the comfort of our bodies.... God bless all of you hope you alm have a smooth pregnancy:)

I look forward to being able to roll over again without feeling like heavy machinery might be needed to finish the task. But I don't miss working overnights and I'm not excited about going back to that after baby arrives. Drinking and partying are things of the past for me - I have days now and then where I'd like a beer but I don't actually miss it... but I am looking forward to having a babysitter tomorrow night, I'm going out to dinner and to my favorite club to dance with my husband since we didn't get to have a date night last month for our anniversary.

This pregnancy has been totally different from my 1st. Granted it's been incredibly stressful with my mom dying, along with that I've had 3 stomach viruses, insane insane insomnia and I have just been absolutely uncomfortable the entire time. I'm 28wks...so I'm praying for some semi relief the next 3 months. I miss me!!

Lol i don't think alcohol is a pass time. Its the idea of being alone in the quiet after hearing and feeding and cleaning up after 7 kids and a husband, being able to sit down and relax with a good book or movie and enjoy that glass of wine wotjout interruptions. I also miss being intimate with my bf. I loved our alone time and enjoying each other now at 35 weeks sex hurts and is uncomfortable.

My first and second pregnancy are much different. My first one was pretty awful, keep throwing up for whole nine months, can't eat or drink at all, kept waking any min, never stay for hours. Getting tired or sleepy so easy. My second pregnancy is much different and little good. I can eat, drink alright, for few times, I have been throwing up, too.  I love the delicious taste from any vegs which it's strange because it usually taste plain or just average. Last night I went little crazy over the cucumber, practically licked juices off the plate!

I hate that there are so many restrictions. I can't go on rides at a theme park, I can't eat this, I can't drink that, I can't carry heavy things, I can't lay on my back. For me personally, I miss going for a run and sleeping on my back. I was never much of a drinker but I can see how that might be something women miss as a past time.

I'm 20 and I've never been much of a party person so I don't miss going out..but I do miss working and making my own money. I miss taking off with my husband to some random place at 1 am. Just because we could. I also want my body back, idk how some women LOVE being pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I love feeling my little bunny moving around in there but I miss being able to move around, jump, and fall, twist and turn without being in pain or cramping up.

I'm a FTM and I experienced swollen feet today for the first time at 24 weeks. I hate it! It feels like my feet are going to explode! And it really hurts :(
I'm not a fan... and I have 16 weeks to go
