what are you going to miss the most about being pregnant??
now i know everyone cant wait to get their LO out but there has to be something you will miss. for me, i will greatly miss feeling all the movements of my LO, he moves ALL THE TIME, every little kick, punch, hiccup, swoosh, just everything will be missed. its just going to be wierd going months with feeling these things all day everyday to not feeling it anymore. kinda sad!

DD1 born 5/24/10.
Missed M/C at 14 wks Feb 2012.
DD2 born 5/14/13.
Missed M/C at 9 wks July 2015.
I, too, will miss all the movements...as much as being pg can be a pain at times, I know that I will miss every second of it! I love knowing LO is with me all the time and, same as PP, that it's a lot more convenient to take them places
I will miss that special connection that just he/her and I share right now.
I will miss feeling the LO move all the time because I really love it.
I will also miss all of my DH's attention focused on me. I will admit that is very selfish but I just know that I will miss that for a little while, at least.
I also have to go with feeling him kick and knowing that he is always with me. Especially at work or when DH gets home late, I like feeling like someone's with me.
For a time, I will also miss not having to dress to hide the belly or anything. I had about 10 pounds to lose before getting pg and I was always worried about hiding the chub. It's been nice just wearing whatever. Hopefully though I get to a good weight after.
Definitely all of the above. The moving, DH talking to my belly to tell LO how his day was, being able to have LO with me, but no carseat/stroller etc...
I will also miss random strangers doing nice things for me, like open doors and help carry groceries, letting me cut in line.. lol. It sounds awful, but I am enjoying it as much as I can because I know it goes away.
Not caring that my belly sticks out.
That's not even what I'll miss most, it's pretty much the only thing I'll miss.
Same as the others - the kicks, the excitement of each new week (which starts as a count up to viability and then seems to transition into a countdown to delivery!)
My friends said that your first pregnancy is the last time people will dote on you, comment on how cute you are, or call and ask about you (before asking about your child). From now on it will be about your kids...if that's true then I'm going to miss the nice compliments!
This, exactly.
I'm 6' and for someone so tall it's really hard to pull off "cute." During my pregnancy I really have felt like I finally achieved "cute" status due to this big belly.
That being said, I'm not going to miss it THAT much.
I'll miss DH bonding with my belly by rubbing it, talking to it and giving it kisses. It'll be so much better when I can actually see him bonding with our son though!
I'm also going to miss being able to eat pretty much whatever I want without my MIL nagging at me to lose weight.
THIS. I really think this is going to be my biggest adjustment.
ETA: I meant to quote the girl who basically said "doing what I want when I want".
Agreed
I'll definitely miss the movement inside or watching my belly move. I think it will be weird at first to not feel that. I like having him with me at all times.
There is absolutely nothing else I will miss though!
