Anyone miss alcohol? Or anything else?

Hi Ladies!! I was just wondering how many miss tipping back a few. I know I do!! I stopped having any alcohol (beer is my choice) 2 weeks before I found out I was pregnant, I just knew I was pregnant. I don't miss it to get drunk, but to relax, watching football, and nascar (big fan), and hanging out with friends/family. I'm not sure when I will get to enjoy it again, I plan on trying to breastfeed (didn't work out with the first two kids). But when I do, I will take small sips and enjoy every drink I take. This may sound odd, but I hope I get to enjoy later than sooner.

I also miss running! My Dr. said "NO" to running at my 6 week appt. I have been too tired to run anyway (if I could), but I just miss it. After I am given the "OK" I am planning on getting out there and continuing to my life goal, half marathon.

Ladies, have a great upcoming week and a H & H 9 months :)

I'm not a heavy drinker and right now the thought of alcohol makes me gag, but I had a dream last night that I was having a glass of wine and it was sooooo good!  And I do occasionally get a little wine craving as we often have it with dinner.  But, it's easy to get over.  :)

I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.

I dont really miss it but i was watching tv last night and on the show i was watching they mentioned ice cold beer and i thought mmm i could go for one of those. Then i remembered im pregnant! Lol
I havent tried it personally but becks makes a nonalcoholic beer. Its supposedly really good and tastes like the real deal. Worth a shot if you really want a cold one.
I think the label said "less than .5 percent alcohol". I guess they cant get it ALL out. But its pretty much nothing.

I'm like a lot of the pp's. I don't really miss drinking, but when our friends and I go out I miss taking part in the social aspect that seems to go along with drinking. Being the DD all of the time can certainly be a downer... even though it is the responsible option.

I miss the energy and endurance I used to have. I still run every now and then, but not really. 

I don't know why your Dr. would say 'no' to running.

Not right this second, but I will at the three Xmas parties I have to attend over the next two weeks!  And no champers on new years will be a bummer too.

I miss having more energy and being able to get through the day without a nap lol.

I'm doing ok as far as alcohol because I never really loved alcoholic drinks, but I really really miss coffee....and SUSHI! I can't wait to start having those again.

We went out with friends for the first time since getting the BFP last night, and I actually didn't miss drinking as much as I thought I would. Of course, no one was getting plastered or anything, just had a beer or two while eating dinner, so I didn't feel weird drinking my Sprite.

I do miss smoking. This weekend at home wasn't bad, but the work week is rough. I need to figure out another coping mechanism for stress, other than going outside for a smoke and a "time out."

And I REALLY miss horseback riding. I half-lease a horse and was riding 3-4 days a week, and doc told me he recommends quitting until after the baby is born because it's a high risk activity. Boo.

I don't know why your Dr. would say 'no' to running.

The only reason I can think he said "no" to running is maybe because I am 39 and maybe at a higher risk. I expected not being able to have certain things, but I didn't expect he would say no to running.

Another thing I miss is eating until I am full and enjoying every bite. Like I have seen so many times on other boards, I can't find food I want that I enjoy. Food is not my friend. I am hopeful this will pass as my pregnancy continues (going by my past pregnancies, but not all pregnancies are not the same).

With how much I do miss, It makes it all disappear where my DH says he is excited for next Christmas when our LO will be here.

I do miss drinking wine and having a martini at the end of the day. I thought it would be much harder to not drink, but so far I'm OK with it. I'm sure it will be tough once the holidays roll around.

nthomas983-I work with horses for a living, so I am smart/safe about what I do, but I know there are risks. So far, all good! Not riding is not an option for me right now. I know later on in the pregnancy I'll have to pull back, and I know I will be miserable to stop riding...

I love cooking and having a glass of wine after work and making dinner was part of my routine and it was something I looked forward to. I do miss wine, but it hasn't been a hard as I thought to give up. What I have realized is that like every social gathering kind of revolves around people drinking! It really isn't as fun when you see everyone getting loose and relaxy when your sipping on your water thinking about your next appointment or if the food your eating is going to make you puke.

That is strange. I am 39 and my doctor told me to keep doing what I am doing for working out right now. That would stink

I defiantly missed having a few free drinks at DH's company Christmas party on Friday. I also miss my brain...and feeling like I can remember things....it went out the window two weeks before I found out I was pregnant. 

 I also miss being able to have lunch meat!

I don't miss drinking.  I really wasn't that much a drinker anyway.  I haven't been given a list of "no-no" foods yet, so there's nothing there I miss.  The only think I miss is not feeling like i have to vomit all day everyday.  (Don't get me wrong, I am very happy to be pregnant.  It took me a long time to get here.)

I do miss alcohol.

I think you should ask your doctor why no running. I would never accept a statement like that without a sound reason. I kinda find it odd that you wouldn't ask since general advice is to keep exercising because it is good for you and that you can continue any activity you've been enjoying before pregnancy.

I miss alcohol - a cold beer or a nice glass of red wine. I had curbed my intake before getting pregnant and now that I am, especially this time of the year around the holidays, I'm finding it challenging. I also have not told anyone about the pregnancy and trying to hide it at all of these holiday parties is getting tough! Anyone have any ideas?

I definitely miss smoking. I went back after both previous pregnancies, but hopefully I won't this time. I also missing having a few beers. Besides my regular job, I'm also a bartender on the weekends and I play in a pool league during the week, so I spend a lot of time in the bar. I could definitely go for an ice cold miller lite.

I miss Pepsi.  However with pregnancy and also high blood pressure, Pepsi is out of the picture right now.  Unfortunately it is the caffeine part I miss since I am now tired all the time lol.  It would be nice to make it through the work day without falling asleep at some point during the day at work lol.  So I guess I also miss energy too. :)

I don't miss alcohol at all and I gave up caffeine years ago.  The only thing I miss is sushi!  And no not the cooked stuff I know I can still have that, I miss some good raw ahi tuna.
