Things you remember now that you aren't preg

[cloe111479]

So now that I am back at work there are a few things that my brain forgot in those 9 months.

1. I can only make two trips to the bathroom at work ALL day instead of in 1 hour.

2. Pockets on pants are WONDERFUL. None of my work maternity pants had pockets. I was always having to figure out how to carry my phone and Id.

Ok.. You guys.

I also haven't yet thanks to my boobs. But I've been sleeping on my back a lot and it's so easy to change positions!

[miniwheat]

How nice it is to poop regularly.

[cloe111479]

I forgot one. What my feet actually look like in shoes and not what they look like when They are soooooooo swollen.

[misshart00]

I sleep on my stomach at the beginning of the night when my boobs are pretty empty. I also have the pillow right under my shoulders and head, so my boobs kind of hang there and aren't crushed.

[misshart00]

What sleeping without having to pee every 30 minutes feels like.

[wendy46001]

Being able to brush my teeth without almost puking every morning

[mels823]

Being able to put on shoes without help from others.

Being able to roll over in bed and not feeling extreme pain.

Wearing my wedding ring!

[mrszee]

Being able to put on and take off boots without help or having to take a break!

Being able to drive without my belly resting on my thighs

Not soaking my belly when I do dishes-i always would forget it was there and am not the cleanest dish washer I suppose

[seamonster]

Not making DH let me out of the car first when parking.

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

Omg my belly hurt when i did dishes bc I was pushing it trying to reach lol

[flyster]

Not being overly hot at all times. I actually wear sweaters and drink tea again.

[mrszee]

flyster, I am so weird, I was FREEZING For most of my pregnancy and now I am an oven!!! Summer should be fun!!

[lilyelayne]

Not to rest my hands on my belly all the time.
Being able to bend over (socks, shoes, and the washing machine all come to mind).

[cougarette]

I miss having that little table

[allonsy221b]

Not having to medicate as soon as I wake up, not throwing up everyday! I hate hg so much. The second he was out I did a no more sickness happy dance in my head.

I'm also with you ladies on the swollen feet, I had to throw a pair of flats away because I stretched then out so bad

[mrszee]

What it is like to get out of bed and not have to pause for my sciatica-that problem was gone as soon as she came out

Not having to eat tums like it is my job to keep the reflux at bay

I think that is true with my black flats. I think I wore them every single day. I need to replace them.

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

Omg the heartburn!!

[cginge]

The harsh reality of non-elastic waist jeans.

[mommadozer]

I have forgotten what alcoholic drinks I used to drink. mommy brain isn't helping either.

[calliope]

How nice it is to tie my own shoes. It would be like DH was trying to cut the circulation off and I'd have to have him redo it each time.

[mmarie]

How much I love margaritas and bloody marys!

[xoxolicia]

How to cut and paint your toenails.

Not getting winded doing simple tasks like putting cream cheese on a bagel.

OMG! Being able to get out of the bathtub without help. Seriously, the way my husband was grunting made this girl feel quite whale-ish.

[cginge]

xoxolicia, Your second and last ones reminded me of this. I think I took a bath nearly every single day during 3rd tri. I would enjoy my bath and then get very sad when it ended and I realized I had to dry my entire self off. I'm pretty sure once I cried because it seemed like such a huge task. I told DH my dilemma once and he just stared at me like I was a nut.

Isn't it strange that resting your hands on your belly came so natural during pg and now feels totally weird?

Hello, vagina!

Wearing a belt at the correct location, not on my ribcage.
