Also going to miss the way DH looks at me and treats me. We always had a great relationship, but it's on another level since I got pregnant.He makes me feel over the top special all the time.
I'm with all you ladies on the period thing. Also the feelings of her movements and being able to see the excitement from my niece, nephew and my little students when they feel my stomach as she moves!
Definitely agree with not having a period, the movement and kicks, and knowing she is safe. I'll also miss not feeling guilty about what I eat. It's back to counting points for me in a few weeks, but I do like the WW program and an looking forward to hopefully losing the weight.
One of the biggest benefits of BF.....still no periods! With both of mine, I went a good 9 months before they started up again. Nursing for no periods is much more comfortable than dealing with being pregnant to get that break IMO.
I'll miss the movement and constant companionship with my LO! I almost don't want to share her with the world just yet.

This for me tooooo! Though I don't think I'll miss the kicks... this little boy is going to be a soccer player and he's been practicing on my body!!!!

If it makes sense, I will miss not worrying about getting pregnant. I hated birth control (when we were preventing) and I didn't really enjoy the anxiety of TTC.
PP periods are a total drag! Not looking forward to shark weeks again - for sure. UI EBF'd and it still came back five months later.
I'm going to miss my belly - I love having a pregnant belly and not worrying about my figure!! (the stretchy maternity clothes that make a bump look awesome help a lot) I'll also miss the movement - those are the things I missed most about being pregnant last time.
I can admit that I will miss people being so nice to me and doting on me. Take it from a second time mom - people are way more chivalrous when you are pregnant than when you actually have the baby, lol.
I will also miss an excuse to pamper myself so much. I have had an aching back and feet the last few weeks, so I've been treating myself to regular massages and pedis. Yeah, that will probably have to stop...

Period is the only thing I will miss not having. The rest of everything about pregnancy I won't miss at all. Except maybe having an excuse to dress like a bum every day.

I'm definitely going to miss not having a period and feeling the LO move inside of me! The other thing I'm going to miss is feeling comfortable with my body. I've always had body image issues until I got pregnant. It's been really nice not having to care too much about that, but I suspect that the pressure of having to lose the baby weight after delivery might trigger some of those body issues again.
The period is also one for me too, but my hair grows so fast and feels so nice I will miss that. There is also no feeling like the baby moving, that is just so fun and never gets old!

I think I'll miss the way I feel about myself while pregnant. I'm not self conscious, and I feel beautiful. My body has a purpose now, and I like that. I'm not looking forward to feeling like a fat a$$ again after she's out, but I've resolved to becoming much more active once she's here, and she's definitely going to help with that.
The no-period thing is also a great bonus.
I WON'T miss not being able to do anything because of the irritable uterus and bleeding issues. All I want to do is get out into the garden and clean my house. The past 4 months of being off of work has made me a bit of a weakling.

Though I was being a little tongue in cheek, not everyone goes without periods while nursing. I got my first pp period at eight weeks while EBF. I also got pregnant while EBF.
Feeling the kiddo (around the 25 weeks mark, not the jabbing I'm getting nowadays), and having a place to keep a bowl, phone etc. And eating ice cream like its going out of style.
