5 Things I Miss About Being Pregnant and 6 Things I Don’t

things i miss about pregnancy

  1. Pulling and tugging at my non-maternity clothes.

I thought a lot of things were a rip off when it came to buying things for my baby and my pregnancy. I didn’t get a body pillow, maternity clothes or a wipe warmer. I came to learn only one of those things are a waste (get creative with the pillows you already own). Otherwise the wipe warmer will save you from few golden showers and overpriced maternity clothes are a waste where maxi dresses and leggings will do, until you realize the button from your jeans is slowly carving through your abdomen. Being pregnant in the summer and not gaining much weight afforded me the luxury of buying a bunch of tissue thin maxi dresses and tank tops from H&M and calling it a day, but I did find myself trying to squeeze into skinny jeans and stretching my tanks over my tummy. Yeah…not fun.

      Thanks so much for your support! With all the changes I’ve been going through you know I had to write about them. It’s comforting to know that none of us knows what the hell we’re doing whether our kids are 6 mths or 16 years and we’re all learning together!
