After Baby

[Assisi]

After you've had this baby...what are you looking forward to? I mean, about not being pregnant any more - not just that you'll meet your little one. What are you going to do to celebrate the end of your pregnancy?

wear tight fitting dresses again! (ok that was a joke!)

It will be nice to sleep on my back or stomach again, or even roll over or get off the lounge without grunting!

And it will be nice to go back to the only time I feel sick is when I actually am sick!

 

[Assisi]

Mmm. Lying on my back is up there for me too.

I was all set to get Eddie to bring me a burger from Burger King after I'd had the baby, but now we've found that there isn't one single Burger King on the whole North Shore! It'll have to be a date instead...maybe we could go into the city.

I'm looking forward to (lame as it sounds) sprinting on the cross trainer. Lately I've had to make significant cutbacks in order to keep my heart rate under 140 bpm...It's so hard to resist sprinting!

Well if you don't mind it being cold... i can bring you one from Newcastle!!!

It'd be a bit of a trip. I don't know how nice it would taste after two and a bit hours in a car.

 

[Called2Grace]

Yeah, I'm finding it hard to resist that whole exercise thing as well, It's hard enough to keep myself on the lounge as it is

Ok, I hope this isn't a really dumb question but is there a reason you can't have burger king now? Is it becuase you are eating healthy? Or is there some other reason?

Because, um, there is no way that I could stop myself eating fast food. Although I am over McDonalds, KFC chips and potato and gravy still call me! (there really needs to be a Homer Simpson drool smiley!)

 

[Assisi]

Well, I do prefer healthy food esp when pregnant (I'm a bit of a health freak), but the burger I want to have has un-pasteurised mayonnaise on it, so I'm avoiding it because of the listeria risk.

In pregnancy my motto is, eat what you can keep down.

I'll be coming down to see your baby... (as long as you want me to!!!)

I think i am looking forward to seeing my husband interact with the baby... It's going to be so adorable!!!

I can't wait to have coke, without feeling guilty!!!

I didn't realise that we had unpasturised mayo here, which burger is it?
Maybe I should be checking that out with maccas!

I drink coke all the time! It is really bad I know, I drank it when I was preg with Susie too...

Me too... but it will be nice to not feel guilty about it!!!

The other thing i am looking forward to is finding out if Kaboose is a boy or a girl!!!

 

[tiredwalker]

Going for a nice walk without all of the huffing and puffing...and a bagel with lox and cream cheese. Other than that, being a stay at home mom for a year or two! That will be so great.

 

[Leanna]

I want to sleep on my stomach again
Whiten my teeth
my body not being so achy and sore when trying to carry Maya around

 

[~Nikki~]

Join a gym and get fit again - hubby has offered to look after the children for me when I want to go to the gym, so I'm going to take him up on it at least 3 times a week!

Go for a walk without feeling like I'm about to give birth.

Be able to eat anything I want without having indigestion anymore!!!

 

[llghoney]

Drinking sweeeet tea
Wearing "normal" clothes
Sleeping on my back
Just not worrying, if you will, if everything is ok
Seeing my H how he reacts
Boobs getting back to normal
No back aching hopefully

 

[jgonz]

As difficult as it is to walk around and feel like I'm running out of air, I'm really nervous about post partum hormones. I haven't done well in the past, and while I AM taking different supplements and feel differently this pregnancy, I'm still nervous.

Although sleeping on my back sounds Awfully good right now...

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

Not having to worry about every bite I take whether or not it will "harm the baby". I'm so confused I don't know if I'm coming or going... can I eat this? Do I have to stay away from it?

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

Though I'm bad, I've had both blue AND feta cheese in the past week. HOw can they expect me to stay away from soft cheese?

AND I've also had salad dressing AND mayo (though not homemade so I shouldn't have to worry about it being unpasturized )

 

[~Mrs. A2J~]

I'm looking forward to not waddling anymore and feeling like my pelvis is gonna seperate.

I'm looking forward to less time in the bathroom from having to pee every 5 mins!

Am I the only one here who sleeps on their belly and back pretty much all the way through pregnancy?

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

I've been sleeping on my stomach and back, but then again I don't have a bump yet.

 

[Assisi]

I sleep on my tummy most nights now. It hurts every other way.

I'm looking forward to my family coming to visit to see the baby!

Just eat pasteurised soft cheeses. Then there's no guilt.
And as for coke guilt, you are still allowed to have caffeine in pregnancy...it's just recommended to cut back, right?
