Do you miss being pregnant?

shellbell256 · January 2010

I do I still miss my belly and being able to feel DD kicking in my belly. Don't get me wrong I love having DD her with me I love being a mom.However I miss being preggo to. Sometime I think it would be great to be pregnant again but then I remember DD is only 5 months old and I am really not ready to be preggo again.Am I the only one who feels like this?

No, you are not the only one! I had a great pregnancy & miss it so much too! Not sure i want the results this soon though!

I also miss my OB & her staff! How sad is that...no reason to get pregnant again though just because of them! ha!

Yes, im alll over the place. I want another baby, miss being pregnant but at the same time feel guilty about wanting another one. I had complications that could reoccur and I dont know what would we do with my ds if I got placed in the hospital for 3weeks again? I also know that my next pregnancy will be SO different - I wont be spoiled again and it wont be all about me. Ill have to deal with morning sickness while taking care of my ds. Also I feel like he deserves more one on one time with us instead of having to share us so quickly with a sibling. Right now isnt the right time but I really want another one. My ds is growing so fast it makes me very sad!

I am torn. I hated being pregnant, as my pregnancy was difficult. However, I had so much fun planning for my baby. I decorated the nursery, coordinated blankets etc. It became my new hobby...and I really miss the whole preparation and grand finale of having the baby.

Although once I had my little guy I was like damn!!! Why didn't I take advantage of napping!!! instead of scouring the internet for the perfect bedding!!!

Definitely not ready to have another baby, but despite all the challenges the ending was amazing!!!

I thought I wouldn't... but I do.

I miss it only because my skin was strecthed out and there was a reason (the babies in the belly)...now my belly's just a saggy, wrinkly, stretch-marked mess!

Absolutely!

madameladauphine · January 2010

To be honest, I don't really remember what it felt like.

jldittber · January 2010

yeah, i liked being preg. i had a great pregnancy, it will be my one and only (full term...4 miscarriages before him)

i so miss maternity stores! lol

Nope. I hated being pregnant, it was strictly a means to an end for me. I hated the attention, the uninvited touching, the discomfort, and most of all I was just plain worried about how he was doing because I couldn't see him to know he was okay.

EskimoMomma · January 2010

I do and I don't. I miss feeling his kicks and knowing he was growing inside of me. But I was such a nervous wreck because his was my 3rd pregnancy. My first was stillborn at 36 weeks, with no explanation as to why it happened. My second pregnancy, I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks. Once again no explanation. So obviously I was a complete nervous wreck the entire time I was pregnant with DS. He is my miracle.

I hated being pregnant. DD was transverse until 32 weeks, and I had so much pressure on my pelvis/hips. I didn't think I'd miss it, but sometimes I do.

When I was pregnant I vowed that I'd never do it again, but lately I've been thinking about #2 (not for awhile though).

rinny627 · January 2010

Nope! I loved being pregnant (all except for the lack of sleep in at the end and the hip pain). I'm so glad DS is out, but I would love to have that pregnant belly again. But by no means, do I want to have another baby anytime soon. Just the belly, is it possible to get without the baby? Lol

beckytr · January 2010

i am enjoying not being pregnant b/c I feel like my old self again, but I did like being pregnant also and i do miss it - esp. feeling the baby move.

fnkeefresh · January 2010

I had horrible morning sickness until I was 7 months. The only thing I miss about being pregnant is that the only person who decided when I woke up was me!

vegasgirl07 · January 2010

I have the opposite problem, love my LO, want another ASAP, but I dont want to be pregnant, it was awful!

cabo_kate · January 2010

Yes, I really miss it! I had a super-easy pregnancy and felt the best I've ever felt for those 9 months.

But when I catch myself wanting to be pregnant again I remind myself that I can't have wine, can't drink as much coffee, have to step away from the blue cheese and brie, and then I remember the newborn stage... and that puts me off it.

But I do miss my belly.

Bran_ham · January 2010

Although I enjoyed feeling DS in there, I had GD and I am not looking forward to the restrictive diet again

If not for that I would have enjoyed it that much more.

Mack924 · January 2010

Yes! I had a great pregnancy and I miss my OB and her staff also, haha I'm definately not ready to be pregnant again now though, maybe in another 2 years!

I missed it for about a week after giving birth b/c I missed having DS move around in my belly. Plus, I was so at peace being pregnant, it was a great feeling. But I had a great, uneventful pregnancy, so I'm sure I would feel differently if it had been bad. Only real complaint was towards the end when the heartburn and swollen feet got pretty uncomfortable.

I'd do it again in a second, and probably will!

AppleMomma · January 2010

Yes...but I don't want another right now
