I found the hardest thing to give up was going out on a Saturday night,felt like I was missing out when all my friends were going out,but I know that I have something far better to look forward to & there will be plenty of sat nights out after my wee gorgeous bundle is here

I'd say things like horseback riding, or when my friends went for roller skate disco. Or body combat which is far to intensive exercising for any stage of pregnancy. But not to be worried too much, still can do these things after delivery :)

It would be exercise for me. I feel like not being me anymore, because it was such a big part of my life.

Mine is sea food ie mussels calamari and scallops ... Also not being able to have a few wines at the weekends but then again it's only for 9 month so I'm sure it's manageable ... :-)

But you can eat calamari and scallops.

I want a runny egg. Poached with a soft centre.

cured meats and sleeping on my right side , just about managed to sleep on my left side for the majority of the pregnancy, salami, turkey ham, hotdogs etc were difficult to stop eating! Sleeping on my left side makes my leg cramps worse! But by God's grace ive coped :)

I miss being able to sleep on my back, and Stilton on a nice pice of baguette, with perhaps a nice glass of red wine, or an ale. And if breast feeding goes to plan, I won't bee seeing either for another 15 months. Oh well it's well worth it.

So far it's not sleeping I'm still in first trimester so the other things haven't started to bother me yet, but I'm not sleeping so that's what I'm missing now!

Everyone has blue cheese around me!!! It is all I long for! :'( I have become like a cheesehound - if anyone has cheeses I can't, I can smell it :(

It will be worth it though!

everyone said I'd miss not going out but I really don't! I'm saving money and am certainly not missing waking up on a Sunday feeling like death!
