why?!

I don't understand why I'm having sooo much trouble with not being pregnant anymore! I feel silly for feeling this way because I have this beautiful 8 day old baby boy who I love more than life itself but anytime I think about when I was pregnant, it makes me so sad to think that it's over. I had a rough pregnancy so I always thought I would be thrilled to have it over with but... surprise! Not the case. Can anyone help explain this or help me to not be so upset about it?! I feel ridiculous that this is even a problem. Thanks!

You just gave birth so your body and mind are adjusting to not have baby in you now. Being pregnant is way easier than caring for a newborn hands-down. You got use to being pregnant and now thait its over, it can be sad. Totally normal. Give yourself time to adjust.

My LO is 12 weeks and I still get this feeling. He is wonderful and easy and I have never been so in love but there is a feeling of saddness that it is over! He was my first so I think that the excitement of being pregnant is gone which is what I am missing. I too was so ready for it to be over and him to be here but now it is sad that it is over! I think it is just the build up for 9 months of so much excitement is over, plus its a little bit of a reality check of this new life we are living! My days of feeling like this are more few and far between as time goes on! Just relax and enjoy the time with your LO because soon we will be missing this stage as well!

You are so right! I don't want to look back on this stage and realize that I didn't appreciate it as much as I could have because I was busy missing pregnancy. Thank you both!
