Things that I will miss Post Pregnancy


It’s the beginning of the 10th month now and the baby will be out any moment!!! Yes, I am anxious and happy at the same time. No more will I have to carry this big round bump everywhere. I am sad too. Besides all the love and care that is showered throughout the day, I am gonna miss a million things post the pregnancy phase:

What I love the most is the tingling in my tummy that began after five months...This tingling will go away. There will no one in my tummy. I had a habit of talking to the baby anywhere and everywhere, to the amusement of the people staring at me. Once the baby is out, I won’t be able to amuse people with my random musings.

It is fabulous to know that a life is breathing inside when you are pregnant. I was way too cautious what I heard, talked, ate and thought about. Now, I will be the same old brat.

The incessant kicks post eating something good. Yes, my baby has the same taste as mine. Both of us like the same kind of foods.

The resolve only to eat healthy food for a healthy baby will be gone now. Now, once again I will eye those noodles and fill my tummy and yes, what about that cuppa coffee I had bid goodbye to.

My huge tummy that makes it presence felt first. Yes, wherever I went, people gave way to me and my tummy. I didn’t have to say ‘excuse me’. Just a smile and thank you was enough most of the times.

No one judges me for a bad fashion sense. After all, pregnant women do not have much option. Sometimes they do but they can easily make an excuse.

All the excuses in the name of cravings. Frankly speaking, I had no cravings. Or the other way round, I had cravings since the day I was born, so in that sense, I had no special pregnancy craving. I just made people run for my favourite food which I was not able to do before pregnancy. 

Advice of aunty, grandma, sister, husband, momma and everyone. People trying to make conversations with me and asking me a thing or two will be missed for sure.

A keen scrutiny of all the names in the world for choosing the best one. This will have a separate post in the blog. During pregnancy, I used to ask kids their names and think whether it will suit my baby.

Changing the television channel to skip the bad things. Yes, I didn’t watch shows laden with abusive language and such things.


And obviously the much hyped pregnancy glow. Yes, I felt a shade or two lighter and a ton or two heavier during pregnancy. But, I felt very good throughout. My skin was smiling and my hair blushing. What more does one need yaa???
