after giving birth - what you most looking forward to?

[3rdbump]

For me it will be a nice glass of bucksfizz, pate (sp) and castello creamy blue cheese :)
After giving birth i will be wanting a long soak in the hospital bath!! Can someone recommend me a really lovely indulgent bubble bath/wash and a lovely moisturiser for after i have had the baby?! i love my baths and spend most my time in it!! i know after giving birth it will be where i will spending most of the time
Some recommendations please!!

Oh boy, so much. Pate, naughty cheese, gin and tonic. Sleeping on my front.
Sex in a variety of positions which are currently impossible. (Might be a while I suppose).
Oh and being a mum. Obviously.

Most definitely snuggling on the during the winter evenings with new baby and DH.
Sex.
Sleeping on my front.
Being generally comfortable walking around, sitting, lounging, bending over, sleeping etc.

That's pretty much it, really!

If I'd been asked this during my first pregnancy I'd have said nice cheese and sleeping on my back at night. Unfortunately this is my second pregnancy so I know that I will have no opportunity for relaxing sleeps or pleasant meals with a newborn.

Wine and decent cheese, all of which appears to be banned.

Badedas (sp?) original is recommended for after birth as it has some sort of healing properties - horse chestnut maybe. It smells nice apparently. I'll be smothering myself head to toe in cocoa butter and bio oil for the months that follow too.

Aside from meeting my baby, so, so much. I have gestational diabetes so nice food has been off the menu for a while... I have made a request to DH for a Chilean sauvignon blanc (specific type, served ice cold), a homemade Victoria sponge cake, chocolate and lots and lots of soft, creamy cheese. I also can't wait to be able to climb out of bed in a normal manner again!!

I was desperate to sleep on my front last time, except in reality I couldn't cos my boobs hurt or it made them leak everywhere! I'm looking forward to being able to pick something off the floor without emitting an involuntary 'oof' sound, and fitting back into some normal clothes as I hate hate hate maternity wear and I am sick of wearing the same things!

I'm looking forward to losing all this excess weight and hopefully feeling more human than I do now! Oh and eating a big fat rare steak!

the smell of my LO, pate, brie, a cold glass of champagne and bending over without losing my breath

sauvignon blanc - yum i almost forgot!!

Sleeping on my front or back, a large bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon, a very very hot bath, and exercise!

I've got GD too and I can't wait for orange juice and a sugary jam doughnut!

sex - my husband won't touch me 'as it might scare the baby'
vodka - with coke, lemon and lots of ice

Purple ha ha at scaring the baby!!

I'm looking forward to sleeping on my back again - last time I was looking forward to sleeping on my front but it was months before I could, like ellangirl. Damn boobs I LOVE sleeping on my front

I'm trying to keep my hopes up but like attheendoftheday am aware that lovely meals and sleep may be off the agenda for a while....sigh.

Also looking forward to being able to move around more freely, and just not feeling like a clumsy heffalumping blob. Hoping my pelvis holds out so I can run around after DS not too long after the birth.

meeting/cuddling/feeding my baby
being able to cuddle older DC without constantly saying 'careful of my tummy'
not feeling sick/crippled with trapped wind/constipated all the flipping time (no letup at 20weeks )
lovely lovely oxytocin release during nighttime BF which always helps me zonk straight back to sleep once babe has zonked (I don't sleep well during pg AT ALL and even broken new mum sleep is better than what I get at the moment)
lying on my back without feeling sick/breathless
chomping my way through a big bowl of dry roasted peanuts, a large chunk of creamy Brie and some delicious parma ham
washed down with a very very large glass of perfectly chilled Oyster Bay sauvignon blanc (has to be Oyster Bay nothing else will do!)

Obviously meeting baby is most important bit. But am so looking forward to the wine

DH having 2 weeks off work and entertaining our 4 year old / doing everything around the house, while I laze around on the sofa breastfeeding the baby and reading books ("sorry darling, I'd love to help you with the washing up but I can't because I'm feeding the baby and while you're up could I please have a cup of tea?") - it is going to be bliss!

I had rare steak, blue cheese dressing and a glass of . Breakfast was toast with two runny-yolk eggs. Utter bliss!

I was going to say sleep on my front and pray that I can something alcoholic, having my memory back and just holding my LO

running. Buying normal clothes. Having my body back!

Can't wait to meet my baby and just look at him - I can look at newborns for hours!
Can't wait to get back into my nice clothes again that are just sitting in the wardrobe (and lose the flab that has accumulated upon my person by eating more cakes than I should lol!)
Can't wait to have a cocktail, eat uncooked chorizo and taste my MIL's homemade pate at Christmas

Oh, and stop dribbling when I sleep - I never did this before I was pregnant!!

A really strong martini......might be a while though :(

Apart from newborn hugs etc,
Eggs with soldiers (there is no point in an egg that isn't runny: fact!)
Sleeping on my back again
Being able to walk faster than a snail and farther than the corner shop

Oh and sexy underwear. Currently I'm wearing what can only be described as a drab hammock and fat pants.

A huge prawn cocktail, with mussels cooked in white wine. How I have missed sea food. for a drink a nice glass of cider or mead.

Evil

After dd1 I said a hot bath. Bugger all time for that in reality.

Now it's just the fact that I'll have got through the next 10 weeks without having a breakdown.

Not being in chronic pain and not having to travel all over the place for hospital appointments.

On a lighter note, sorry I can't sleep and I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself, giving my baby a big sniff; having a ice cold, glass of wine; my dh being off work for a bit and my going to be 15 month old meeting his new baby brother. I'm hoping he will be out of the biting stage by then

Roll on December
