What are you looking forward to most about not being pregnant?

[zoejeanne]

I'm 34 weeks now and have had a pretty easy pregnancy and have mostly enjoyed it. However I've decided this week that there are 2 things I really can't wait for:
1 - being able to relax comfortably on the sofa
2 - have a really satisfying wee
(oh, and obviously meeting my baby, becoming a mum etc goes without saying - I'm not that heartless! )

bending over
getting to gaze at beautiful new born
peanut butter
being able to roll over in bed minus agonising spd
no debilatating afternoon exhaustion
and of course wine

i thought i'd crave wine again, but tbh i can sort of take it or leave it.

I fantasise about:

1. sleeping on my stomach
2. having a choice of more than 2 outfits
3. eating oysters
4. sharing a bottle of chilled dry white wine over a lovely dinner with my dp and getting slightly tipsy

am 25 weeks, so long way to go before birth...and even then, who knows how long???

Not needing a wee every 5 minutes.

Not screaming in pain when the baby decides to have a "moment".

Being able to sleep on my tummy again!

Being able to move without being in agony with my hips.

Having contractions that actually have meant something!

Not feeling so bloody miserable!

DRIVING!

Lol, thats a few

Dont know how anyone sleeps on their stomach with a newborn. DO your boobs not hurt?!

Mine didn't last time. I used to throw myself on the bed face down on purpose, just because I could

Looking forward to...

• Meeting baby and seeing DH's reaction
• Seeing what kind of a mummy I am
• Drinking more than just the one occasional glass of champagne
• Eating pate on hot toast
• Having bras that fit for more than 5 mins

Will miss...

• Knowing there's a little person inside me...

1-meeting my little Beanie
2- Runny Eggs
3- Pate
4- Sleeping flat on my tummy
5- Hitting the Gym, Sounds bonkers but i've been DYING for a good sweat up. Sure i wont feel like it though!
6- getting rid of preggy Acne
7- not feeling like a hippo
8- wearing my clothes again
9- steaming hot baths

Mmmmmmm i'm sure there is Tonns more too!

Great Thread idea!

There are not enough pages on mumsnet for me to answer this one.....

1. Meeting the baby of course
2. Not weeing every 2 seconds
3. Being able to drink without needing a wee 2 seconds later
4. Being able to shave my legs
5. Seeing my feet.

I will miss all the wriggling and movements.

I will also miss discussing all our symptoms with the lovely ladies in Due Dec 08 but we can all discuss babies instead!!!

1. Vigorous sex
2. Running
3. Getting my skinny self back
4. Dancing round the room like a loon to music with the kids
5. Sleeping on my stomach
6. Breastfeeding, I love it.

I'm also looking forward to being sterilised Expat.

Not being nauseous
Having my normal appetite back and enjoying cooking again
Eating parma ham and all other deli meats
Alcohol
Rare steak
Blue cheese
Having my mind back and being able to read
Wearing baby in a sling (and toddler too if I want to)
BFing not being excruciating (BF when PG hurts)

But most of all, number one (assuming this baby is okay): Being able to check in thirty seconds every time I start worrying that the baby has died.

Will miss having an excuse for no waist. Errr that's it.

seeing my baby
Not having heartburn
Lying on my tummy
Riding my horse

Sorry but maybe its cos this is second baby,and I am slightly more relaxed... but I am still eating, pate, prawns, mussels etc
Now I am 24 weeks, I have finally got the taste back for wine and had a lovely sneeky little rose at the weekend

I too really hope breastfeeding is not horrednously painful this time around

I am only 25 weeks with number 1... but am already looking forward to sooo much!
Getting rid of this perpetual cold!
Eating pate...by the bucket load!!!
Eating a nice juicy steak!!

Im sure over the next 15 weeks many more will arise, but thats me at the moment!

1. Not having a human being bouncing on my cervix/bladder

1. Not feeling like I am squishing said human being even when I am lying on my side

1. Sleeping on my tummy

1. Not waddling

1. Getting out of bed without horrendous pelvic crunching and grinding

1. Eating Pate and drinking (more than one glass of) red wine

1. Being able to hold my two DC on my lap for a cuddle (ie having a lap at all) and adding a third one to the cuddle

1. Having a good old rough and tumble with DS without screeching "mind my tummy"

Have had a real giggle as I read this!! I am 30 weeks, first dc, I am looking forward to

• meeting the little thing in person
• turning easily in bed
• putting on shoes/socks/tights without sounding like I am 80
• not walking like Mrs Overall (spd)
• not having heartburn/hourly gaviscon
• being able to drink enough wine (or indeed any alcohol at all!!)to get some effect from it
• never thought I would say it but, having sex in the missionary position again!

BUT I will miss the wriggling inside me. And sleep, probably.
