Do you "forget" how miserable pragnancy...

is, just like you "forget" labor pains? The plan was to have a 2nd baby about a year after this one, but I cant FATHOM the thought of being pregnant again. I am so miserable and have been pretty much the entire time. It's just one thing after another. Will I forget when it comes time for another one??

    You don't necessarily forget... It just doesn't seem so 'horrible' in hindsight.  (I puked every single day with my 10 year old, for example and had a HORRIBLE recovery, swore I would never ever have another kid, and well... obviously that didn't last. lol)  You also have to realize that every pregnancy is different, so what you experience this time you may not deal with at all with the next one. 

    Hang in there!  :)

    I actually love every second of being pregnant, except for the bedrest part. But with #1, the first 6-8 weeks after she was born was horrible.  I thought I woud never make it and thought that she was definitely be our only kid (i.e "what did we get ourselves into??")...but I guess after some time...I remember that it was bad, but not exactly sure how bad. =)

    I'm sure I've softened my memories (same as Darva-sick all 9 months) but I also hold out hope that the next one will be different.

    oh yeah...with Emmy, I had MS all morning, day, and night for the first 16 weeks.  I totally forgot about that until I read your post!  See...so you do kind of forget.  BTW:  With #2, I barely had any ms.  So there is hope.

    You don't necessarily forget, you just realize that it will just be a blip in the radar of your life - especially since by the time you realize you should plan to have another one, your *baby* is already over a year old and you wonder how did that happen!?!?

    Well, I had a pretty good pregnancy last time, but I did sorta forget how cruddy I felt in the beginning with food aversions.  I'm remembering now that I'm going through it again.  I also kind of forgot (or blocked out) how painful pushing was, and now facing the reality of it again is a little scary.  But, I made it through last time and have an amazing son to show for it, so I know it'll all be worth it again this time.

    Good to know I will likely block out all the bad parts! Aside from being sick as a dog for the first 20 weeks, my left leg has been numb since about week 12. I can't eat, sleep, or do much more than lay on the couch all day without feeling like I just ran a marathon. I am SO not a homebody, but I just can't do the things I used to do without hurting everywhere. My back, feet, legs, shoulders, etc just ache!! I am getting a pre-natal message this afternoon, so hopefully I will feel better. I am just having a pity party today. Thanks for coming ladies Wink

    You don't forget as in you don't flat out remember things, you just don't remember how bad it was day to day.  Speaking as someone who threw up, again, this morning at 30 weeks.

    We were talking about this at lunch today and we had basically the same conclusions as pp.  You don't "forget" but it just doesn't seem as bad as it seemed at the time.  I actually loved being pregnant.  I'm actually dreading MS more than the labor pains next time around.......

    Listen to these ladies because I'm clearly the odd woman out.  We are one and done because of it.

    I didn't find pregnancy to be particularly miserable.  But I know for certain I am forgetting about labor...I commented the other day that it just wasn't "that bad".  Ha.

    I had a pretty rough pregnancy, delivery, and recovery (C-section). The thought of being pregnant again has scared me the past two years. But I think I'm "forgetting" some of that now since I feel ready to start trying for another one in the next few months.

    I'm one of those odd ones that had really great pregnancies and would love to be pregnant again...but man, those first 3 months - especially the first 6 weeks - were awful.  The sleep deprivation just killed me.  But you realize what you have after and know it will only be a short time.
