Anyone miss being pregnant?

wed2be

While I am ecstatic about having my perfect baby girl in my arms, I feel sort of a "loss" of the pregnancy. I remember feeling this way after I had my son too, and I attribute it to all the hormones. I love being pregnant and since this may be our last, i just feel sort of sad about it. Just wondering if anyone else feels the same way?

Well, if you do, can you step up and take over for me? I am DONE with this horror show.

At times I miss not having the responsibility of a baby: like being able to sleep all night or being able to go somewhere with out planning feedings and packing a diaper bag. But I do not miss being pregnant at all.

Nope, don't miss it. I didn't think I would. I was never super into pregnancy, I just wanted the prize at the end. And he is awesome lol.

This and that

I'm still pregnant but I expect that I'll miss it. I love having him with me at all times, feeling him move around.

In a word...no. haha

I do miss some aspects of being pregnant.  I love the anticipation of the last few weeks and the excitement of delivery.  I was upset after leaving the hospital with my DS2 as I felt that it would more than likely be the last time that I would be taking a new baby home.  I don't miss trying to chase an 18 month old around at 40 weeks pregnant though!

I do, a little.  I NEVER thought I would, but there it is.  I miss feeling him move inside me.  That was so special and like it was just private between us (unless I told someone else it was happening).  I also liked "playing" with him in the bathtub...  I'd splash my stomach, and he'd move around.  Plus, there was the excitement and anticipation of meeting him.  I love snuggling on him now, don't get me wrong, and I don't miss peeing 184 times a day...  But there are little things I miss.

I understand what you mean, OP. This girl may or may not be our last child, so it was bittersweet to give birth in some regards.

YES.

I love being pregnant, and feeling a life within is the best thing ever. Im having a hard time accepting the fact that Miles is our last baby... we will see.

I totally know what you mean, OP. There were definitely some not-so-pleasant parts, but I really loved being pregnant. My DH only wants two and I feel like I'm mourning this precious time of my life being over. I scheme to myself all the time about ways I can convince him to go for a third, haha. I'd even consider being a gestational carrier if a close friend or relative needed that.

Not at all!! I am so happy that we only want two and that we are done now. I am so ready for that phase of my life to be over. I was not a happy pregnant person!

Oh I do! I really didnt like the pain of the last week or two, but I loved being pg. I loved my belly, I loved having my little inside girl move, I just loved all of it.
I do love her on the outside too but there was something special about the time she was inside and I miss it.

I wish I had a zipper and could put her back parts of the day. ---just for fun and ease, not that I would rather have her in than out.

This. I do not miss being PG...not at all, but there are times during the day I wish I could tuck A back in.

I was just saying to SO how much I wish I had a pocket like a kangaroo!

I do miss being pregnant, but this is my first and we want two or three more. So I'm glad for the break. I won't be 2u2ing it anytime soon!

I don't really miss being pregnant. But I swear I felt phantom kicks for the first few days post partum. It was weird!

I also don't miss being pregnant.  It might sound selfish but I feel like I missed out on a lot of the outdoorsy things this summer/fall that I normally do like hiking, rock climbing, skating, roller coasters, etc.  I'm so excited that my baby boy is here and that I will be able to teach him how to do these things as he grows older instead of not being able to participate in it at all.  I'm not sure if I really would want to have to give up those things again - I think I will need at least another 2 years or more before I'm ready to commit to being pregnant again.
