So you’re pregnant. Get ready to strike these things off the list.
Pregnancy…what a joy. Feeling that life growing inside you and the excitement of impending motherhood almost makes up for some of the things you cannot do for nine, long, very long months.
There are foods you can’t eat, exercises you can’t do and some practicalities in life become kinda awkward. You start dreaming of a day when you can bend down and touch your toes…
But that’s just the beginning.
Here are 44 things I missed while I was pregnant, and will never take for granted again:
1. Eating soft cheese.
2. Eating soft-serve ice cream.
3. Eating sushi.
4. Drinking alcohol.
5. Looking down and being able to see my lady parts.
6. Looking down and being able to see my legs.
7. Being able to shave my legs.
8. Being able to bend down at Coles to get something from the bottom shelf without farting.
9. Bladder control.
10. Being able to sleep on my stomach.
11. Being able to sleep flat on my back and breathe at the same time.
12. Wearing jeans.
13. Wearing heels.
