Mine is high waisted jeans. I LOVE the 90s for straight or tapered leg high waist jeans. They make me feel safe and like my whole outfit comes together. This is my third pregnancy and I’m missing them more than usual:(
Edit: WHY did I make this post at 13wks! I have so much further to go, and I’m reminded of so many things I forgot I can’t have!!

Sleeping on my stomach. I’m 25 weeks and just admitted defeat. I miss it already. 😭
So real. No pregnancy pillow can substitute that feeling.
Something people lie to you about is going back to sleeping on your stomach after you deliver. Your watermelon boob will then protest for like nearly the entire time you breastfeed.
Thank you for your honesty 🫶
No problem I was so angry no one told me I would immediately hate laying on my stomach for a different reason!
I’ve definitely been looking forward to it so having this heads up is definitely saving me from facing a massive disappointment.
I’m so bad, I’m so addicted to stomach sleeping I’m still doing it at 38 weeks. I just kinda shimmy my tummy to the side and contort to make it happen. I’m sure it’s ruining my back in the process 🤣
27 weeks and SAME…kinda making it work somehow but I’m sure my back will pay for it…I just can’t sleep any other way 🫠😂
I did this til the day I gave birth with my first and he’s perfect. No back issues. Sleep on that tummy mama!
Just wait til the hip and back pain starts. Side sleeping is the wooooorst
This is my fourth…the hip and back pain are my constant companion.
Does it get better after birth? I’m one and done, so hoping to get back into yoga and running asap.
Everything gets better after birth!
Ugh yes I did IVF and hip pain still lingering from injections. Really struggling to sleep on sides so end up on my back. Trying to make an incline with pillows but it’s stressing me out
I envy you. I had to give it up at like 14 weeks and I’m counting down the days until I can get back to it.
I’m 2 weeks ppt and I still can’t sleep on my stomach because of my boobs lol. Just say goodbye to it now and move on 🤣
having the energy to be able to do anything - cleaning, cooking, going to the store, etc. i’m constantly so drained.
I’m 32 weeks and put together baby’s swinging chair then had to take a 3 hour nap afterwards.
Oh my gosh I feel this one so much. I just want to feel somewhat capable and productive!! With every pregnancy, I have to viciously chase the guilt away.
OMG I miss having Energy
This! I just want to be able to do things again
Wearing my wedding rings :( fingers are too puffy
This! I bought a fake ring on Amazon to fit on my pregnancy sausage fingers :’)
This is so smart, thanks for the idea!
This. I've cried twice. I'll get them back on after hopefully, and if not my husband has vowed to get them resized if needed!
Just make sure you give yourself a few months before resizing! I made the mistake of resizing after like 8 weeks. And it was fine. But about 9 or so months later, they were falling off my finger. It's crazy because by 8 weeks, I had dropped all the pregnancy weight. However, you're still quite bloated and retaining water. Heck, even if I had waited another month or so, it still would have been too soon. I recommend a cheap amazon ring until you can fit them again, OR a significant amount of time has passed. We wasted money and thinned out the band. :/
looking/feeling stylish. I miss my regular clothes and shopping. Tired of just dressing for comfort and feeling frumpy
Yup
I’ve been looking for cute corduroy pants for ages. Every time I found them they were out of all the cute colors or way expensive. This fall Costco had adorable ones for cheap…. Right as my belly was getting too big for non-maternity pants
Omg this. I have never been a leggings and cardigan girlie but here I am. Every. Single. Day....lol.
Yes same!! I wannna be a milf, not Mrs. Frump!!
Pooping on the regular.
I don’t know how far along you are, but it might come back! I’m 35 weeks now and pooping at least twice a day. It’s glorious. It was the same in my last pregnancy and it lasted until birth (and even after — I even had no trouble at all with the first postpartum poops!).
Caffeine. Coffee. Soda.
I know you can have some, but the reflux it causes me is so painful I've had to quit completely.
It was fucking agony man.
I knew reflux was somewhat common in the 3rd trimester but I was NOT prepared for this severe reflux to hit me like a truck at like 18 weeks!! 😅
Same exact issue at 18 weeks :(
Ugh that’s the worst, especially during that first trimester exhaustion 😓
Hot baths.
I just miss it. It was my decompress time to sit in a steaming hot bath at night
I took hot baths with both pregnancies and everything was fine! Not scorching, but still hot💞 I couldnt give them up, my body aches too much
See for me the recommended temp is cold! I tried a 100 degree bath (which for most is hot and safe for pregnancy) and I'm practically shivering! One day out of curiosity i did my preferred temp just to see, I usually hit like 110 or over. I'm so excited to be able to boil my bones again once I'm healed. 😩
If my skin isnt turning bright red with steaming coming off of me and slightly cooking my insides, im not interested lmao its gotta be hot tub level hot 😭
This. I would take a scorching hot bath anytime I felt anxious or just off and they are the one thing I have missed the most. I’m 34 weeks and just spent an hour scrubbing my bathtub so she’s nice and clean for when we meet again
Oh I still take a few baths a week. I just try not to let my core temperature get too high.
Hot baths are fine. It’s your core body temperature that you have to watch and it doesn’t raise that much in a bath assuming you listen to the cues telling you that you’re getting too hot. You’ll definitely know if you’re overheating.
People in the Middle East and the colder parts of Europe where saunas/hamams are a big cultural thing keep going throughout their pregnancies and the rate of neural tube defects isn’t any higher because of it. And a sauna gets way hotter than a hot bath would be.
someone (who obviously didn’t know I couldn’t take baths rn) recently gifted me a bath bomb that smells amazing and I’m so sad I have to wait to use it 😭
Same! Especially now that I’m nearly in my 3rd trimester and so sore at the end of the day.
I was never a big drinker, but I did really enjoy having 1-2 glasses of wine to end my week on Fridays. I've found that fancy mocktails / nice teas scratch the itch somewhat, and I still enjoy going out to eat, but it's just not the same.
I feel this, with my first two, I never really missed it, but I had a virgin Bloody Mary the other day because I missed having a drink so bad?! Which is so unlike me haha
I definitely love tomato juice more than the average person so Bloody Marys are one of the only drinks where I truly don't care if it's virgin or not haha. We will be on the other side soon enough! I told my husband I would love if he could smuggle a little bit of champagne into the delivery room so that we can celebrate once I've popped the baby out.
So fun!! We’ve got this 😅
With my first I never thought about giving up alcohol after the first couple weeks (which was really just from habit). With my 2nd though I’m nearing my 3rd trimester and would really love a glass of wine or scotch 😅 I think it might be the holidays or stress from moving house while wrangling a toddler. But the desire is strong this time around. I wonder though if as with my 1st I won’t want any after giving birth. It was a solid 6 weeks before I had anything after my son was born.
For me it's just a half glass of red wine with dinner sometimes - it's just a nice addition to the meal.
Wine, ibuprofen, waist line and privacy. I’m a wino. I love to read with a glass of wine. I take ibuprofen for headaches and for back pain I’ve developed through my job. I’d just gotten back into shape over the summer and accidentally got pregnant lol. Waist line is already gone. And lastly, I hate being the center of attention. I’m not one who likes having people coming over to my house all the time either. Now people want to know all my business about my pregnancy and people will want to come over to see the baby one he/she is here. It all sounds selfish but that’s how I feel lol.
Big yes to privacy. I don’t share a lot with people outside of my small curated group. Announcing I am pregnant feels so strange. We are elated and so happy but it’s weird that so many people know (what I deem as personal things) about me.
I’m right there with you. I don’t like people knowing anything personal about me at all. It’s honestly more stressful dealing with people than the pregnancy itself.
That's not selfish at all. Your home is your space space and you are under no obligation to let "people just come by"
Hey if it makes you feel better I hadn't lost my weight since my last baby 2.5 years ago and I am really not looking forward to a double helping of the weight I didn't lose on my to do list after this pregnancy! You are probably starting off on a good footing. As a fellow wino I feel your pain.
Weed
yup, im happily trading it for baby but i do miss splitting a joint and tallboy w my dude after work lol
Holy mother of god I miss my beer.
God and if we plan to breastfeed it’s even longer until we can smoke!! 😭 I just keep telling myself that if anything happens and I can’t achieve my goal of breastfeeding for a year, then at least I get to smoke a blunt.
Me too! Hubs and I have planned my first time puffing. Baby goes to my parents bc I’ll be too clumsy. He’ll be able to watch over me. It’ll be my longest T break ever. I’ll be stupid with zero tolerance. Baby is worth it. It’s a season of life thing. You want to do it on and off throughout the years anyways.
This. The things I would do for a good bong rip right now.
The things I would do for an edible nap 🥲
I miss getting stoned and cleaning my house. I have no ambition otherwise 😂
This, but I don't consider it small 😭
This and a really good dinner and sweet treat 😭
My grandpa just passed and I wish I could smoke a big fatty over my feelings so bad
I feel this so hard. My brother passed when I was 8 weeks and after the shock wore off a few days later, it hit me like a train that I’ll be going through this grief compleeeeetely sober. I’m 25 weeks now and it’s probably better that I’ve been sober during this time but initially I would’ve killed for a cigarette and a blunt
Currently 26 weeks and he just passed yesterday. Teetering between numbness and sobbing. Sorry about your brother and I wish you the best. Thank you for sharing with me. 🖤
Sushi 😭 I know I can if it’s from a reputable source but this is a rainbow babe and I just don’t want to take chances
It’s wise of you! I am a microbiologist and I also gave up sushi.
How to do you live with guilt of constant lying to people? I met a microbiologist once and you people are normal height, not micro at all!!
It’s a hard life!!
Thank you! That’s validating lol I told my husband that’s the first meal I want when I get home from the hospital 😜
I had sashimi the day after delivery in my hospital bed. It was divine
Try vegetarian sushi to substitute 💞
💯 jeans
I have not found a pair of jeans that are comfortable including maternity because my belly is not big enough for maternity but my waist has expanded too much to wear my normal size but not enough for me to wear the next size up. It's torture! I've just been wearing elastic waist band everything since I was 8w
Girl my next size up is super tight on me digging into my waist and I’m only 5 weeks pregnant
I’m 11w2d and yeah, I’ve been eating EVERYTHING and bloating EVERYWHERE and the struggle is real.
But I’m not about to give up eating like a pig and I don’t even care right now! 🤣
I feel this, I’m bouncing in between my husband’s jeans and wearing too small ones with the zipper undone.
I just bought the Miramar cloth jeans from Rag and Bone so that I can pretend. I figure they’ll be nice when I’m postpartum too.
Eating a weed gummy on the weekend and putzing around the house doing whatever. Working in my garden, reading, playing with my dogs, watching a movie
Ugh I’d love a good gummy right about now!!
This is kinda vague but being able to do things for myself. I don’t wanna ask someone to help me do [insert task that usually involves lifting something], I wanna get stuff done! Lol
Yes! I don’t want to wait for my husband to have time or for my sister to have a free day to get this heavy thing moved, I want to just get it done now without it having to become an event!
Anything with tomatoes in it😭I get such bad reflux it is actually terrifying! I used to love putting tomatoes on a salad, sandwich, pasta sauce, pizza sauce, meatloaf etc etc but now I can't even have two bites of spaghetti without immediately coughing up stomach acid. And it lasts for hours no matter how early I eat. Up all night popping tums for relief..just not worth it anymore, but I miss it so bad!!!!!
Weeping for you 😓
I have a nightshade intolerance so this is my life and pregnancy is only exacerbating it 🥲
My meds
Same!
Lord have mercy I fucking miss being functional at work! And being able to calm down from an absolute full-on panic attack (thankfully I’ve only had two since being pregnant so far but there’s something comforting in knowing that it’s there in case I need it)!
I’m with you on the high waisted jeans. All of my outfits are just a little weird with my maternity jeans.
I miss the ability to be physically active, I’d love to go for a run but I’ve not been allowed to workout much other than a light walk around the block with the dog. Also would like to be able to clean without being out of breath, like what the hell!
Tied between a glass of red wine on a cold night or using my sauna.
Having energy, margaritas, being able to eat whatever I want, not feeling bloated, non-sore boobs, the list could go on lol
The boobs
Told my work mom if she didn't show up with margarita ingredients in the hospital, I was divorcing her
I recognise this is awful but on a Friday evening I would do my “big” run, get home all sweaty and gross, and then take a roasting hot bath, in which I would drink red wine and once in a blue moon while it was running before I got in I would sit up on top of my bathroom cabinet and smoke a cigarette through our skylight. I know that’s icky. But oh my god. What an incredible evening it sounds like right now.
This is amazing and you’re making me want to live this exact day
I feel you with the jeans. They were my favorite piece of clothing until I couldn’t fit anymore.
I know, so many of my friends hate jeans but they’re my fav!
Doing planks. Which I know probably is silly because who loves planks lol. But a few times a year I usually do some sort of 30 day plank challenge (example 30 days of at least 3 minutes planking per day) and I always feel better after I do it and look forward to doing it.
I know technically you can do planks while pregnant. But I already have so much cramping, pulling, aching that I haven't felt comfortable trying them. I'm now 15 weeks and have accepted the next challenge has to wait but I do miss them.
Medium rare steak 😭 not worth having steak if it has to be well-done, so I’ll just have to stick to roasts for now 💔 and over-easy eggs. I love runny yolks
I’m a huge fan of steak and eggs, but there’s no point if the steak can’t be medium-rare and the egg yolks can’t be runny.
I have begrudgingly started ordering my steak medium. I cannot bring myself to ruin a good steak by cooking it well, but I’m also not willing to give it up, and maybe medium is a bit better than me eating it medium rare. I told my husband I want a rare steak delivered to me in the hospital after birth.
Tuna Poke Bowls / Nachos 😭
Wait, nachos?
Sugar…gotta love gestational diabetes
💔
Coffee. I know I can drink a little but my brain changed or something because I no longer enjoy it. Also, I’m in a fellowship now that was a dream come true to get accepted into. When I found out I was pregnant, I had to grieve a little that I would not have another drunk night at the bar with my fellows. That grief was short lived though, im over it!
Deli meat, I know a lot of people say they still eat it but as a ftm I’m too scared to risk it. I want my hubby to bring me a pack of prosciutto after I have the babies and stuff to make a sandwich all I’ve wanted for the last two months is a ham sandwich
Yea, I miss good subs. They say you can eat it even when heated but my husband is a lot more worried than me and makes me extra worried too lol. I have 3 months left, so I'll just wait and have him deliver me a sub in bed with the baby.
Botox, not being able to snowboard this winter, my normal appetite and sense of smell, not being constipated, working out without modifications, hot tub and sauna, sushi and jersey mikes subs 🙁
Girl you can get listeria from fruit, veggies, chicken, even freaking ice cream. Eat your damn Jersey Mikes.
My clothes and my shoes :( I’m 30 weeks now, and getting shoes on and off is a PAIN. And I normally have such a cute sense of style but basically all I wear on the weekends now is leggings with a hoodie and during the week, I rotate between the same 10 outfits haha.
Sushi. I spent so much money, time, and physical and mental effort on IVF and this baby that I just cannot bring myself to eat it from anywhere, reputable or not.
Relatable. I am also pregnant with an IVF baby. Cooked sushi hits the spot a little bit- but only if I dip it in soy sauce with wasabi!
My jawline 😭
First thing I lost. 😫
Over easy eggs!
Oh sheesh we cant have this either?? At this point I feel I've eaten everything I shouldnt lol
Omg. Sourdough dipped into runny eggs would seriously be chefs kiss right now. Only 3 more months!
Fug that sounds SO good.
My stomach/digestion feeling anywhere near normal. I'm nearly 17 weeks and whilst the nausea is gone it still doesn't feel good. Doubt it will get better until birth.
Alanis, working out on an empty stomach, running, sleeping on my back, all of my clothes! And a cheeky cocktail on the weekends.
Mortadella. I let myself have sushi every once in a while if it’s from a fancy place that I can trust the fish but I can’t bring myself to risk cold cuts. Husband has been instructed to bring me a gigantic mortadella sandwich for my post-birth meal 😂
dressing cute, drinking wine while i make dinner, sushi, ceviche, subs, gardening, going to korean spas, ab workouts!!!
Retinol. I miss my skin routine and it made me feel better about the lines on my forehead.
Wine. Patê. Smoked salmon. Sashimi. Cocktails. All the soft cheeses. Raw veg from my garden. Not being exhausted. Jacuzzis. Saunas. Decongestant when sick. Strong pain killers for my back. Anti anxiety meds for flying.
A hot bathe with a glass of 🍷
Prosciutto is in my top 5 foods and I still have 29 weeks before I can eat it again. Usually for new years my husband and I stay home watch movies and make personal platters with smoked salmon and prosciutto and Brie etc. this year might be a fruit platter ☹️
Sushi. Sushi sushi sushi sushi sushi.
Cold turkey sandwiches
My adhd meds, for sure.
My body lol 😆
My hot tub and a big fat margarita
Coffee…
And yes I had to give it up because apparently this baby doesn’t like it 😭😭 I just want to start my day with a hot cup of coffee with no nausea
I found iced coffee so much easier on the stomach. Just a tiny espresso shot, 8 ice cubes, and oat milk!
Weed, sushi, deli meat, rare/medium rare beef. It’s all worth it though 🫶🏻
Travelling 🥲 since the beginning of the pregnancy I haven't felt great and now I also have low placenta so no possibility of moving much
I’m 35 weeks and I miss being able to just get something done on my own, especially home maintenance type stuff. Hang these shelves? Probably shouldn’t be on that ladder. Shovel the driveway? Safer to let my husband do that. Move this bin to the basement? Nope too heavy. And forget hanging the Christmas lights
My dad had to come over just to take the sliding closet door off the track, tighten some screws and put the door back up. That would have taken me 10 minutes tops if I wasn’t pregnant! And people keep acting like it’s so nice to have an excuse to just make a list and have people do everything for you but I genuinely enjoy doing those things and it sucks to be at the mercy of other people’s time and abilities (my husband is a sweetheart who tries his best but there is a reason that he is usually the assistant/moral support when it comes to home projects)
Monster energy drinks 😭
My daily Redbull. I don’t drink coffee and I would have one Redbull in the afternoon each day to give me a kick to push me through the rest of the day and I really enjoyed the taste.
Reaching over the counters in my house 😂 I'm short and the bump is constantly in the way.
Botox, Advil and being able to get tattoos.
I always think of the best tat ideas when I cat get them lol
Tuna fish 😩 poke bowls!
Raw fish. I love me some sashimi
I'm missing energy drinks and oysters. Fatigue has been killing me this go round so an energy drink would be amazing. Also my husband promised me oysters but we didn't get around to it in time
Nooooo you just reminded me about oysters 🤦🏼♀️ they’re so good, now I’ve added them to my list of “things I miss”
Hahahah same; I forgot about them bc it’s not really oyster season now. I’m due in July and not having them at the start of summer is gonna be touuuuggggh 😭
I'm due in August and am already planning to make some demands once baby is here 🤣😭
I can’t drink coffee so I never stopped my Alanis 🫣
I miss over easy eggs, cold cuts, and hot baths. Actually I miss baths in general. I'm on pelvic rest and I'm not allowed to be submerged in water right now. Its awful!
Raw sushi and deli meats
Not there yet, but I’m going to miss laying on my stomach when the time comes
Hop pod yoga, I love and enjoy it, but sadly I had to give it up.
A cold beer, soft blue cheese, winter mountain hiking and marathon training!
Feel you on that! I’m petite but with short legs and a long torso. Maternity pants are my literal nightmare. And I hate dresses aside from special occasions. Basically I channeled my inner cave troll in my pregnancies 😭
Otherwise, I just missed sleeping on my back once I got to that point. The gestational diabetes was hard the first month (in both of my pregnancies, yay placentas! 🥴), but I adjusted decently. I missed my nightly bowl of cereal SO MUCH, though. I think I cried about it a few times lol.
My meundies bras. My boobs just got too big after a while and my nursing bras are fine, but not nearly as comfy 😭
Seriously, I miss my itty bitty titties 😭
I’m a back sleeper and managed to continue sleeping that way with creative use of a body pillow and 6 individual pillows, but 32 weeks pregnant just took that as well from me 🫠
Botox, cannabis, my stimulant
Prosciutto and fresh mozz 😖
Ham, premade salads, soft cheeses and cute clothes 😭😭😭
Going to the hot springs. A soak in the springs would be amazing with all the pregnancy aches and pains.
Both pregnancies I got super sad about not being able to drink wine. But like, I don't drink wine? I was never the type to have a glass at the end of the night or on the weekends, not before I got pregnant, not after I gave birth and stopped breastfeeding. But the moment I got pregnant again and saw fancy people on TV sharing a bottle of wine I'm like "aw man I can't drink wine 😭" Like wtf is wrong with me? I feel like it's all FOMO and wanting what you can't have, cause guaranteed after I give birth I'm not gonna be cracking open a bottle of wine on a Saturday lol
lol same here
I am with you with pants! I am almost 12 weeks and at about 7 I started getting so, so bloated I can't wear anything restrictive because after eating the bloat begins. Even in leggings or pj's with stretchy waist bands, I have to pull them up to just under my breasts for relief.
Short skirts, in fact I didn't have any pants because I only wore short skirts, now that I'm pregnant I can't fit into any more :(
Lash serum. 😅 It’s so insignificant and vain, but I miss my luscious lashes and the pregnancy/breastfeeding safe serums don’t do anything.
Gym (I know I can still workout, but its not even close..) Alcohol, saturday nights out Not having to pee ALL THE TIME Being skinny ans fast
Prosciutto
Feeling included? Just like. Less alone?
Totally with you on the high waisted jeans, and any high waisted pants for that matter.
For me, it's being able to work out to a high intensity. I used to love all sorts of workout classes and now I'm really limited in what I can do at 25 weeks. Wah!
Sushi, the occasional energy drink / pre workout, Botox and retinol lol but who’s counting 😂🤣😆
Truly so lucky / fortunate to have a smooth pregnancy so far, these are minuscule in reality
Clothing and baths! I could dress normal until like 15 weeks and then nothing fit me anymore, fashion is probably my biggest interest so it’s been depressing. I’m getting induce tomorrow night and I cannnnoot wait to be able to wear all of my normal clothes again.
35 weeks and I miss intimacy with my Husband. Yes we can still do it but it’s different, it can really hurt. I wish I could just pounce him like I use to. He also is trying to avoid love making because he knows how much pain I’m in.
I came home from Paris and got pregnant right away. My first craving was Jambon beurre.
Medium steak. Boiling hot baths. Not having reflux 24/7 starting at 5 weeks. Caesar salad. Small boobs. All my clothes.
I am SO with you on high waisted jeans
I miss my clothes, everything I can’t fit into I’ve put into boxes to save until after my bump is gone. I fit into most of it still until about 5 months, now I live in leggings, baggy crop tops and flannel shirts. I miss wearing dresses and tights.
Also eating whatever I want, I miss Caesar salads and dippy egg, I know reviews are mixed on having them so I’ve just avoided them. And getting up off the couch without help.
Honestly my libido I have zero desire at the moment and sex is just not enjoyable:( can’t wait for “normal” mode haha. Week 30 currently
Home stretch!!
Sleeping on stomach and back. Deli meat. Unlimited types of tea.
Walking and training 😢 (34 weeks)
I had to give up peanut butter bc it kept giving me such bad heartburn I would literally throw up in my mouth every single time after eating it. I effing love peanut butter.
I make my own dresses and they're all 50's 'New Style'. Haven't been able to wear them in months 😭 I also miss wearing my high waisted skinny jeans and crop tops. Also miss being able to wear my converse and all my cute boots. Being able to sleep on my stomach, drink Dr Pepper, go hiking without getting winded in the first 100' and so much more.
Thankfully, my induction is tonight, so by tomorrow I'll have my baby in my arms 🥰
Yay congrats!! You’ve got this, 50’s style mama 😎
Thank you so much ❤️ I'm so nervous because this is my first and your comment made me smile 😊
I was induced with my first, and I had so many fears, but looking back, it was mostly from not knowing how anything would be. Of course you’re not going to know, you’ve never experienced this before! Give yourself grace, and know that you’re going to have this baby, one way or another, and you’re going to learn quickly how you are going to hold them, feed them, love them, and handle everything that comes with having a little one. You learn with them, and it’s intimidating, but it happens faster than you realize, and it turns out you’re better at it than you thought you’d be!
The biggest piece of advice I wish I knew earlier was that things are going to change, and you have to let it change. Of COURSE having a baby is going to change your body, your mind, your rhythms, your thoughts, everything!! It would be silly if it didn’t!! But that change is more wonderful than you can picture right now, and you’ll never be the same because from now on, you’ll always be a parent. That’ll look different over the years as you change and they do, but just like you’ll never look or be the same as you were at 5yrs, 10yrs, 15 or 20, it’s a joy to grow and change.
Advocate for what you want, and know you’re not alone in all the change, struggled, newness, and joy. Again, you’ve got this ❤️ (Also I LOVE that you make your own clothes, I’m going to use you as my inspo to spend more time getting better at sewing. I almost finished a quilt and stopped.)
Sleep, sugar & carbs, especially pasta! (have mild GDM so diet managed), longer walks, Christmas treats, lifting heavier things and feeling useful, sneezing without a care, planning ahead 😂
But in all honesty it's still been fun and the positives definitely outweigh overall!
Sleeping on my husband either fully on top or even from the side its difficult I miss laying on his chest
Cold cuts and soda. I don’t even drink that much soda, but not having any for 7 months has me craving it. Just a little longer though!
My regular clothes
Artificial sugars :( I want a diet dr pepper so badly.
Why would you avoid diet dr pepper?
Brie and Alani energy drinks! It’s so bad that I smell my husband’s energy drinks when he opens them just to try to help the craving.
REDBULL
Mine was hip thrusts at the gym. No matter what variation I tried I just couldn’t do it
