I miss being pregnant...

I had DS 1 week ago at 38 wks 0 days. I was "ready" to have him and had no idea I'd go into labor so soon. I am glad he is here but part of me wishes I were still pregnant and that I hadn't tried doing things to get him out. I actually get really sad about it (which is probably baby blues)....but to those still waiting....enjoy it....labor will happen soon enough.

    Thanks for your post.  I'm 38w 3d now.  I've loved almost everything about my pregnancy.  Some days I feel so sad that it's almost over, but there are moments I can't wait for labor to begin.  I worry that I'll be sad when it's over.  Hang in there...congrats to you and your family!

    I wonder if I'm going to feel this way too.  I have really loved being pg, and I've been so lucky to have such an easy pg too.  Of course I can't wait to hold LO on the outside, but it's such a wonderful feeling to just be pg and to feel LO kick and squirm inside. 

    Congrats on your son! I agree with PP, post some pics.  Show him off to the world!  : )

    The funny thing is I had really bad morning sickness, horrible rib pain, I was so stretched out and just uncomfortable....but I still miss it! Maybe partially because I might not have any more. I knew when I had DD that we'd have another child but this time we don't know yet...we'll see how it goes.

    The labor was very quick. I started having contractions about 4min apart at 8 or 9pm on the 15th...as soon as they moved to 3 min apart (about 10pm) I called my OB who said to go in to the hospital. I called my mom who lives about 25 min away to come stay at my house with DD and by the time she got to my house (midnight) my contractions were 1.5min apart and very painful. When I got to the hospital they put me in triage for all of 5 minutes and then wisked me off to a room. I was 4cm and 95% effaced. At 3am they check me and I was 6cm and 100% so they said I'd deliver by 7am. Well 15 minutes later I got the urge to push and they checked me and I had gone from 6 to 10cm in that 15 minutes so they said to start pushing. I was freaked out because I didn't think it would go so quick. 10 minutes later he was born...3:25am. Very quick, no tearing, he is healthy...things are going alright. It was a great experience.

    Congrats on your baby!  I, too, missed being pregnant after I had my son, so much so that I got pregnant again 6 months later!  But I remember at the end of that pregnancy feeling so done with it all and ready for the baby and trying everything to get him out.  I am starting to feel like that again now, so I am hoping to change my thinking because this will be the last one!
