I miss being able to eat whatever I want healthy or not lol and I miss being able to consume all the caffeine I wanted! I miss being able to sleep without waking up with a sore back. I miss going out with friends. And I hate being treated like a fragile doll! Buuuut I know it will all be worth it when my son is here :) our bodies are amazing, we just need to bare through the aches and pains and realize what a blessing and experience this is!

Having a regular appetite! Almost midnight and I jus HAD to get up and get a sandwich! I have a phobia of public restrooms so it be nice not having to pee 3 times in one trip to Wal-Mart! Nd I didn't like being treated like a handicap last pregnancy, this time I'm taking advantage!

@mommymute omg yes I feel like a worry wart now a days! Lol its crazy the things you can worry about.. I recently got sick with a virus which made me throw up my life for about two days & felt like such a bad mom cause I couldnt eat to feed my boy. Sounds crazy but I was so worried I literally drank a case of water & a case of gatorade in those 2 days just to throw it up lol

Miss being able to drink every once in awhile and running without worrying about hurting the baby... sex without pain and sleeping without back pain every night and being able to eat a variety of foods except for slurpees and spicy foods lol but it will all be worth it in about 7 months for me...

Laying on my stomach without feeling like I'm hurting my baby && occasionally going out with friends without feeling like an outcast. However I'm very happy with the decision I've made

If you would have asked me while I was in 1st tri I would have said that I miss not feeling sick 24/7. Now... I'm 19 weeks. Barely showing. After I had my daughter I barely ever drink n I would have a smoke before bed. So I guess it doesn't feel like a lot has changed. I'm just too dang excited. I can't wait for the weather to be nice so I can walk and then take both my babes out walking! (Work on losing baby weight from both 1 & 2!)

I miss being thin. I got fit after having 3 kids and I loved my body and I can't get used to my body change being able to go shopping without feeling dizzy. How uncomfortable it is to sleep every night. I am 25 wks and can't seem to get enough sleep and if I do it doesn't feel I've slept at all. Can't wait to be able to walk and not feeling tired. Relying on someone to do sonething for you.
