Pros and Cons of being pregnant

[ellenmillion]

Things I will not miss about being pregnant:

• Heartburn
  
• Having to pee every half an hour
  
• Snoring
  
• Uncomfortable sleep
  
• Skin tags (I have tiny rashes of them various places. They don't itch, but they do feel funny.)
  
• Itchy belly
  
• Round ligament pain
  
• Feeling awkwardly hinged and weighted
  
• Shortness of breath
  
• Fatigue
  
• Calf cramps
  
• Baby brain
  
• Puffy and sore hands and feet
  
• Guppy, pounding away on my insides!

Things I will miss about being pregnant:

• Guppy, pounding away on my insides!
  
• My hair. (It doesn't shed while you're pregnant, so it's thicker than usual. Love!)
  
• Being warm. It was a good year to be pregnant - I was very, VERY rarely chilled, which is very out of character.

Printing out prints like... a printing thing. Organizing very little paintings and sketches and packing up orders. Debating putting in a load of laundry. Fussing with Torn World things. Still need to do some minor programming at EMG-Zine and PA.

Still not Mom.

Are you sure this isn't your nesting behaviour?

Free advice you probably don't want - pay attention to any achy low-back pain you get, particularly if it comes and goes.

I like free advice! (The price is always worth paying. :P)

I definitely will keep an eye out for that - especially since, given my back pain history, I would have been inclined to ignore that sign... Thanks!

For me, the crazy thick hair hormones lasted through breastfeeding. So you may have luxurious locks for a while yet! Then when they quit, I shed so much every day that I thought I would surely go bald or end up with thin hair. It's all back to normal now, though.

Yay! Another year or so with thick hair! It's awesome that the stuff I liked about being pregnant will stick around a little while through breastfeeding.

I started too loose my hair shortly after my son's birth and it was scary the amount that came out. I was bald on my temples for quite a bit. Don't be concerned when it happens it reverses once your hormones get back to "normal"
