Will you miss being pregnant?

Nikelizabeth

This is my third baby and with both previous ones I loved being pregnant and couldn't wait to be pregnant again this time! I find myself counting down the days until he is here instead of actually enjoying a little human growing inside! I have to keep reminding myself that this will probably be the last baby and to enjoy it! The sleepless nights will start soon and I will meet him soon enough! Anyone else feel the same?

Miss being pregnant? Hells no!

Good for you if you feel that way but I'm tired of being tired all the time and not being able to drown myself in cold medicine, and using Excedrin for headaches (Tylenol, what a joke) and eating sushi and drinking beer. Bleh! [-(

There are certain aspects I will miss. I will miss doing yoga with baby boy. It's a really special time each evening just the 2 of us. And I know when I go back to work in August I will miss knowing he is inside me, but is instead with a caretaker during the day.

But I will not miss the morning sickness, the feet swelling, and the other random symptoms of pregnancy, that is for sure!

And I am with you all on the limited food. Bring on the sushi and the wine! Our sushi place will be so happy to see us again! They were asking my SIL when we would be coming back so I know we are missed

No, I will not miss being pregnant. I want my body back and I want to sleep on my stomach and drink alllll the tea and eat all the smoked salmon.

I'm on my second and thought I would have 3 kids but man. This pregnancy has been rough! Both my husband and I agree that we can't wait til I'm not pregnant anymore!! So no I will not miss it!..I'm sure that might change tho in a year or 2 lol

Even after 4 1/2 weeks on hospital bed rest and awful hip and back pain I know I will miss feeling her kicking inside of me. It's a such a special feeling. When the doctors thought we were going to deliver at 34 weeks I actually cried at the thought of no longer being pregnant. Granted by 36w1d when we are scheduled for c section I will have been in the hospital for 6 1/2 weeks and I'm sure I will be ready to not be pregnant so I can go home with my baby.

Doubt it. I mean, I thnk I will miss certain things about not having a baby around yet (sleeping, freedom of my time, etc), but nothing specifically with being pregnant.

btm013

I don't think I will miss it. I'm a FTM so who knows how I will really feel but I'm ready for the baby to be here. I'm dreading this last month at work where everyone has a comment about my size. Someone told me I was looking plump the other day. Plump!!! Who says that?!

Lol! I have to agree on not missing the aches and pains, not eating certain foods, and just being hormonal! I will just miss him being inside and that bonding part! Thanks ladies!

iheartpancake

Absolutely not. I know we want a second and I will suffer through it again if my body is willing, but I want to be just me again. I am looking forward to getting this kid out of my gut and into my arms.

mommydlc

I don't know, I don't think so though. It didn't even occur to me that I would miss it when I had my son last year that I may miss being pregnant, but I did once he was born. I even cried because I missed it. Now since I've been pregnant for almost 2 years straight, I think I will be okay. Your hormones are so crazy after baby you never know though.

klkonwi

Hell. No.

moz3518

I will miss feeling him move inside me and knowing he is safe in there. Other than that.... NOPE NOPE NOPE!!!
I cannot wait to have my body to myself again. I'm in so much discomfort with these aches and pains. I am anxiously wishing these next 5 or so weeks to go by super fast!!!!!
Not to mention I miss eating all the sushi I want!!!!

ksimo6

I will miss the private relationship I have with my son now. No one knows him like me... Yet. I love to feel him moblve and stretch, but no... I won't miss it. I have been pregnant 4 times in 2.5 years and I am ready to move forward. My body has been through too much and needs a break!

Wow I would release some serious pregnancy hormones on someone if the called me "plump." People just don't think before speaking!

MaliKaela

Absolutely not.

jessieR358

I'll miss him moving inside my belly, but other than that No! I want my body back. I want to be able to workout like I used to, sleep comfortably, and go longer than 30 minutes without peeing.

laurendutch

Yes and no. This is my last pregnancy and I'm going to miss the movements but not the stresses, morning sickness, etc.

Amen on the peeing, peeing is stopping me from enjoying my life. I can't go anywhere without having to use to restroom. My bladder is frowning

BabyHarris15

No no no no!!! I am a FTM and I agree on the pains and aches. I hate to say this but I will not miss my diva baby kicking my insides or stretching or any of the sort! I didn't have morning sickness but the acid reflux is close to unbearable! Just counting down on the last 9 weeks before she makes her grand arrival!

alexam2012

I think I would if this pregnancy hadn't been such a nightmare. But I'm bored, uncomfortable and want my body back to myself now. Not being able to exercise or do anything except light errands has been really crappy.

AlyLynn07

The only thing I will miss is other people doting on me and bringing me food

mindaa

I've been blessed with a pretty easy pregnancy. And since this could possibly be my only... I'm trying to enjoy it, not rush and think of it as a special time with LO. I'll miss him being so quiet and portable, haha. So I don't know, there's a chance I might actually miss it, even though I've definitely struggled to stay positive about my body and the limitations it brings (and the comments/staring).

Not a chance! I'm glad I'm having twins because I'm never going through this again!

emaddock

I totally missed it the last 2 times. This pregnancy has been more difficult so I don't think I will miss some things but since this is the last it is bittersweet

mrs1374a

You all think you won't, but you will. I missed it so much after my daughter was born. And this time I feel the same, oh I won't miss this! But I know I will.

babybean9

I've been luckier than a lot of women with my pregnancy, but have still had my fair share of hard times. That said, I know I'm going to miss being pregnant. No doubt about it. There's pros and cons to everything, there are times when I'm in so much pain I want it over, but eighty percent of the time I love it.

jesscmv

No. No. No. No. I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way! I want to wear normal clothes again, have normal non pregnant sex, be able to eat and drink the things I can't right now. Plus I feel like I will enjoy the babies much more on the outside than the inside! ha!

Big Ole JERKS that's who. Ugh the nerve of some people.
Don't worry my mom told me today that I needed to eat more fat. Granite I am pregnant with twins and all belly and have gained 35lbs. But since she's convinced they are coming soon I need to eat more fat to make them grow.......sorry I eat very healthy (for the most part) eating fat doesn't make your babies fat too, healthy food can have the same impact! Sorry if that turned into a rant

MixedCurlsXo

This pregnancy for me has been 95% problem free but I feel like once baby arrives that excitement will triumph everything! How can you hold your baby & want to take it back & be pregnant again? That's why they made siblings lol.

teather5

I'll miss eating ice cream regularly.

eeyoreem

With ds I loved being pregnant. This one I can't wait for it to be over. She is bruising my insides, I'm sick all the time (ms and illness) and I have GD so I can't even enjoy the pregnant eating. I am ready for her to be an outside baby and soon a toddler since I'm not really a fan of babies either.

Sammy K

Nope. Nada. Not at all. We're done after this one after I just keep reminding myself I will never have to do this again. There's no bittersweet for me, only sweet. This one has been complication free but much harder than the first for other reasons. I wish this was already over.

devyns2nd

I will, I wanted one more. I was lucky to have this one. It's hard knowing I can't get pregnant again even if I want to. So yeah, I'll miss being pregnant.

I won't miss the symptoms though. Shew.

Same here. FTM, probably my only pregnancy and there's no reason not to enjoy it but...I don't like the comments and staring, having to share my body and not being able to do the things I like. I'm only in this to get a baby, and for me the baby (and child/adult he will grow into) is the goal. If I could have skipped the whole pregnancy part and gotten the same result, I probably would have!

virginiaunicorn11

My mind just doesn't work this way. I am enjoying a really special time of being pregnant for the first time, and basking in the excitement. Then when LO comes, that will be another special time. I am rolling my own eyes at myself for this answer, but with deaths and illnesses in my family during this pregnancy, I am just being grateful for whatever comes next.

I understand everything y'all are saying here and hear ya, too - esp excited for those of you having complications or harder times and ready to be done!

KarasTwin

While I don't enjoy being pregnant as much as I thought I would, I definitely think there are parts I will miss. I definitely love feeling him kick and move. I love the special bond that only he and I share, but I am ready for him to be here. Nothing serious, but we've had a few scares here and there and I told DH the other day that it's sometimes overwhelming knowing that I'm the only one who can truly protect him and keep him safe. I know I'll have plenty of new worries once he's out, but I'msure glad that others will be able to pitch in. It's definitely all worth it. I do wish it was twins so I could not have to go through this again

Itsourfirst

Nope! Nope! Nope! I want this over with and we aren't having any more! I am over the hips pain, the sushi cravings, the "is she pregnant or just fat" looks, the "OMG, should I be doing that" moments. And, god I can't wait to have a Red Bull!
