No one tells you not to have a dessert when you're pregnant!</p> <p>Won't miss:<br /> The movement. I remember how shocking it was right after Henry was born not to feel any movement but I was glad not to have someone kicking my hips/ribs/stomach/etc.<br /> Hips hurting. Pregnancy puts strain on an old injury - fractured pelvic bone - which makes the third trimester unbearable sometimes.<br /> Everything else. I think I'm one of the few people who don't actually like being pregnant but that's probably because I got pregnant so soon after my first pregnancy... Ask me again if we decide to have a third child! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-youll-missnot-miss-about-pregnancy#post-534435 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:24:53 +0000 runsyellowlites 534435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss<br /> Baby Kicks<br /> Excitement of birth<br /> Birth</p> <p>Don't Miss<br /> My pelvis constantly getting out of alignment<br /> heartburn<br /> My face constantly breaking out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-youll-missnot-miss-about-pregnancy#post-534409 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:18:55 +0000 Mrsbells 534409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss<br /> Baby kicks<br /> Excitement at ultrasounds<br /> positive attention from people</p> <p>Dont miss<br /> Aches &amp; pains<br /> List of foods to avoid<br /> Prenatals &amp; iron pills<br /> Inability to turn at night<br /> round ligament pain<br /> Worrying about EVERYTHING </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-youll-missnot-miss-about-pregnancy#post-534393 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:14:45 +0000 2PeasinaPod 534393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: There's another thing I'll miss!

Or if I want to leave the house with a wallet only, trying to figure out where to stash one, depending on time of the month. I feel so free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-youll-missnot-miss-about-pregnancy#post-534328 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:59:06 +0000 LazyLightning 534328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: hahahahahah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-youll-missnot-miss-about-pregnancy#post-534322 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:58:16 +0000 2PeasinaPod 534322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: Exactly!

NO BIG DEAL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-youll-missnot-miss-about-pregnancy#post-534312 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:56:52 +0000 2PeasinaPod 534312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: I feel like the list of what I don't miss is endless! I had GD, so I couldn't even eat whatever I wanted!</p> <p>One of the younger girls at work asked if it was nice not having my period for 9 months. I just laughed and told her while that was nice, there is a host of other things that make up for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-youll-missnot-miss-about-pregnancy#post-534292 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:50:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 534292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss:<br /> Ditto all of yours, plus<br /> -Feeling him move<br /> -My bump.

(I mean, I like to feel her and know she's alive and well of course).
