I forgot that I have to do my share of heavy box lifting. When I finally remembered my coworkers were horrified I was lifting. They had forgotten I was no longer pregnant too. I'm 6 months pp now and I just took the stairs two steps at a time. I always did that pre-pregnancy and I had totally forgotten about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newish-moms-do-you-ever-forget-youre-no-longer-pregnant#post-1085472 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:46:48 +0000 littlek 1085472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: hahahaha LOL</p> <p>I had to leave my LO at the NICU and I had to keep reminding myself I had a child. It was all very surreal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newish-moms-do-you-ever-forget-youre-no-longer-pregnant#post-1085429 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:34:53 +0000 JoJoGirl 1085429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: Exactly!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newish-moms-do-you-ever-forget-youre-no-longer-pregnant#post-1085427 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:34:31 +0000 Chillybear 1085427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Weird.... so is it like phantom limb syndrome? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newish-moms-do-you-ever-forget-youre-no-longer-pregnant#post-1085417 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:33:17 +0000 JoJoGirl 1085417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: I did feel her kick for like a week after - it was super super freaky. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newish-moms-do-you-ever-forget-youre-no-longer-pregnant#post-1085324 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:04:30 +0000 Boheme 1085324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it all the time with sushi and coffee!
