Most Roman Catholic (the only rite I’m familiar with) Nuns (Nuns = cloistered, monastic religious sisters) have modified the habits worn for centuries as an aide to practicality and humility. Some cloistered sisters do pass down habits from one generation to the next until they wear out, but even these are being phased out to more simple, less burdensome patterns than the ones worn by their original founders.

Most Roman Catholic (the only rite I’m familiar with) Nuns (Nuns = cloistered, monastic religious sisters) have modified the habits worn for centuries as an aide to practicality and humility. Some cloistered sisters do pass down habits from one generation to the next until they wear out, but even these are being phased out to more simple, less burdensome patterns than the ones worn by their original founders. Those habits were by and large simply the daily dress of middle income women in the culture where the order was founded. Now if by nuns you are referring all religious sisters, the practice is even more widespread. with a few exceptions. The Dominican sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne; and Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecelia, Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration, and many Benedictines continue the tradition of a full habit modified perhaps only in the sleeves and in the total amount of fabric as well as the veil cap; though some are exactly as they were one hundred years ago. It is terribly impractical today to attempt the hours of care such original habits required, especially when now individual sisters maintain their own. The Documents of Vatican II in the chapter on the Renewal of Religious Life, asks individual communities to consider updating the daily clothes of religious in order to better function in a world greatly changed from the middle ages, when most orders originated. I admit some went overboard, by becoming “undercover nuns in plain clothes” and forcing brothers and sisters into purchasing and maintaining a large store of replaceable wear. A habit is a visible sign of consecration to God, and a lamp-post for souls. Not surprising many of these ultra-modern groups are now extinct, or nearly so.
There is a wonderful book titled simply The Habit, which goes into a deep history of the garb worn by women religious. It does leave out a number of communities of which I’m familiar, but is a lovely testament to a very precious sacramental many religious would like to see given a renaissance.
I remember when my own old Carmelite community traded in twelve pounds and three layers of hand-pleated cotton, linen and serge, plus a knee length heavily starched veil and stiff guimpe for two layers of a princess cut above-the-ankle dress, dickie, and hip length non-starched veil without a wimple (the piece around the throat and cheeks) and many of us felt naked. It did not take long however to recognize the freedom of movement and ease of care these modified uniforms gave while remaining modest. We kept our cream colored mantles, and shoulder-wide dress length scapulars, however, as these are the oldest known part of the habit belonging to the Carmelite family.
You can use The Catholic Encyclopedia for a list of modern communities of women religious, and look up their websites for more information on their particular expression of belonging and consecration.

Our Congregation, the Dominican sisters of Mission San Jose, in California, wear a modified traditional habit. There are many congregations will still wear some form of habit.
To my knowledge, most cloistered communities of nuns still wear what would be called the traditional habit. There may be ones who don’t, but I am not aware of them.
The best way to discover if an individual congregation wears a habit, traditional or modified, is to check the congregational website.

Here’s one true story which a 2016 movie describes it in a chilly and heart breaking way called Agnus Dei (The Innocents).
The events unfolds during the final stages of WWII (1945) when nuns were giving birth to babies which was later discovered to be the result of rape committed by Soviet soldiers after invading a Benedictine Convent in Poland.
In Warsaw
, December 1945, a nun known as Sister Maria approaches a young French female student doctor, Mathilde Beaulieu, serving with an army unit. She says there are sick women in need and is not satisfied with a referral to the Polish Red Cross.
Beaulieu decides to go at night to the nun's convent, where one woman has given birth. The Mother Superior tells her that the nun was thrown out by her family and was taken in out of charity. Beaulieu tells the Mother Superior (Abbess) that she works for the French Red Cross.
A novice nun at the convent is grieving the death of another nun. Confined to her cell, she engages in morning prayer.
Later the Abbess discloses to Beaulieu that several nuns at the convent were raped by Russian soldiers, relating that the experience was nightmarish, and they wish to keep this a secret. Seven of the nuns are pregnant. Some of the pregnant nuns are reluctant to be examined intimately by the doctor, believing this will violate their vow of chastity. One of the nuns confesses to Mother Superior that her faith has been deeply shaken by these events.
Soldiers come to the convent believing the nuns are harboring an enemy soldier. However, Beaulieu convinces them she is there to deal with an emergency outbreak of typhus
. The Mother Superior is badly shaken by the threat of the soldiers, and thanks the doctor for her presence of mind. Beaulieu realizes that she too was raped. The Master of Novices tells the doctor that every day she is reminded of these harsh events. She relates how faith has become more difficult for her but it is the cross she bears.
When Beaulieu returns to headquarters, her boss chastises her for having been away without leave. He says that the military is a place of order and discipline.
At a later visit at the convent, Beaulieu is present when another novice nun gives birth unexpectedly. This nun had not realized she was pregnant, and does not seem to know she has given birth. The Abbess had given orders that she be notified of all births, but Beaulieu requests that she not be notified immediately. The doctor needs to focus on care for the newborn. A different nun, Sister Zofia, takes responsibility for the child.
Beaulieu asks the Master of Novices if she ever regrets her life as a nun. The novice replies, "Faith is 24 hours of doubt with one minute of hope", going on to describe her difficulties with the practice.
Beaulieu returns to the army medical unit, and discovers the unit is going to be transferred out of the area.
Several nuns are about to give birth at once. Beaulieu returns to the convent with a male Jewish colleague. She assures the nuns that he will keep their secret. The doctor visits the baby whose existence has been kept secret from the Abbess. The Master of Novices plans to take the baby to the Zofia's family, but the baby is discovered by the abbess. The Abbess is upset that she was lied to and tells the Master of Novices that she has been corrupted by "that French woman", who has brought scandal and disorder to the convent. The Master of Novices replies, "Forgive me, but scandal and disorder were already here".
The Mother Superior has been telling everyone that she takes the babies to families who have agreed to adopt, but she abandons this baby in front of a crucifix on a country walking path, after baptising it. Zofia is distraught, knowing the child is missing. The Mother Superior privately prays that she have the courage to continue on the path she has chosen. Meanwhile, Sister Zofia commits suicide by jumping from an upper ledge, dying shortly after her wounded body is discovered.
When the Master of Novices goes to Zofia's family to report her death, she discovers that Zofia's mother never knew Zofia had a child, nor that she has been caring for the baby. The Master of Novices decides to not tell the mother the truth. This is the Master of Novices' first realization that the Abbess has been dishonest about the fate of the babies. She confronts the Abbess demanding the truth. She says she entrusted the child to God, saying "Don't you believe in Providence?"
At the medical base, Beaulieu is getting ready to finally leave the area. The Master of Novices brings three babies to the base to protect them from the Abbess. Beaulieu first notices that many orphans living on the street have been helping personnel at the base from time to time. It occurs to her that the nuns could start raising many of these children and open an orphanage, thus avoiding questions about where the babies are coming from. One of the nuns decides to leave the convent and raise her own child, and another decides to leave, but allow her baby to be raised by the nuns.
The final scene is three months later, with a photographer at the convent taking pictures of the nuns and happy orphans.
It is not known what happened to the babies born at that time. Probably they are living their lives anonymously for obvious reasons.

How does a nun live her life without any pleasures? Don't they want a nice phone, family etc.? Do they miss these, at least emotionally?
Originally Answered: How does a nun live her life without any pleasures?
I hope an actual nun can answer your question! Meanwhile, as a former monk for seven years, the lifestyles are pretty close, so I might be able to give some ideas. Plus, in certain parts of the world, such as Rome, there are several religious communities in close proximity to each other, so you get a good idea of the daily routine for both monks and nuns.

So when you choose to enter a religious community, you spend a lot of preparation time investigating which community best suits your goals and your level of ascetism, contemplation and/or activity.
All religious, however, have rules of obedience, poverty and chastity in common.
Perhaps the most important distinction to add to your question, however, is not to confuse pleasure with happiness. Remember Aristotle's conclusion about human behavior: whatever we do, our actions are motivated by the desire to be happy. Religious communities, whether christian or buddhist or hindu or others, serve an important role as reminders to the rest of the world that happiness is not always found in material possessions or selfish lifestyles. Nor does religious life exclude pleasure either. Religious members often find pleasure and joy in the same things the rest of do: singing, hiking, gardening, working, cooking, teaching and just taking time to be filled with wonder at the world and the people around you.

How do I leave as a nun? I regret becoming a nun, and I want to leave being one.
I am really sorry to hear of your situation.
It must have been a challenging decision to arrive at, given the amount of pre-novitiate enquiries and period of reflection prior to considering the religious life, you completed and would suggest that you discuss this with your Rev'd Mother, your confessor and your family.
As you will know, there will have been extensive enquiries made and references you provided, followed up, including psychological assessments you obviously passed, in order to determine the life in a monastery/ convent was right for you?

You maybe need to consider your parental-familial discussions and conclusions at the time?
Just as a matter of interest, as you will be well aware, at every stage of your pre-novitiate and novitiate training, you will have been given every opportunity to leave if you had even the slightest, smallest doubts?
Even prior to making an application, you will have been told to return home, resume your secular life while carefully discerning whether you have a religious vocation? Whether a religious life was right for you?
Before taking your final vows, you were given every opportunity to leave and indeed almost encouraged to do so, if you had any doubts or anything less than 100% commitment?
Your novice superior also had the power to halt your progress if she had even the slightest of doubts about not only your commitment but your suitability and ability to cope with the rigors of religious life? You obviously passed these with flying colours, is what it would have taken, to persuade your novice superior?
If that is the free decision you have arrived at, you will know the procedure for exit and the fact that, as for all religious Orders, you are free to leave or take a sabbatical at any time and would strongly advise that you follow the exit- procedure, rather than seeking unqualified advice from the Internet.
Your Order will probably encourage (& may insist) that you involve your family to ensure that you do not exit into homelessness. You will be free to apply for jobs while still with your Order, to secure accommodation, income and a future, once you leave.
You will undoubtedly have made many friends who will want to know that you are OK. Please do consider keeping in touch with them. Or, just drop a line from time to time, to let them know you are OK.
If you are Lutheran, you may want to consider Anglican Orders and vice versa? If you are Catholic, there are 24 separate and diverse Rites which collectively comprise the Catholic Church, you may wish to consider another Rite? Orthodox, Coptic & Armenian similarly. Just a suggestion.
Whatever your decision, wishing you every success for your future.

If a nun is violated and gets a child, can she keep the kid?
Times are changing but sadly not changing fast enough…
In some more open and progressive orders, if a sister gets pregnant (and let’s just ignore how she might have gotten pregnant for the moment) she would have the complete support of the order while she makes up her mind whether she wants to have the baby and heave the order, or give it up for adoption and return to monastic life. I even know a few mother superiors who would gladly see that the sister in question could get an abortion, especially if she were raped, and would move heaven and earth to make sure the rapist got what was coming to
