Labor & Delivery Jealousy

Is it weird that when my friends post on facebook that they are in labor I get jealous?

Every time one of my friends has a baby I get so jealous because I want to be in their shoes... My delivery with my son was so amazing I wish I could experience it over and over again... I miss that day. I had pictures taken but next time I want a video taken too.

Am I the only one who gets like this? lol

    I totally understand what you mean! It was such a beautiful, crazy, exciting, scary, fun experience!!  I am excited to hopefully someday experience it again.  I sometimes get a little jealousy of my friends when I find out they are pregnant.  I am so happy for them but I truly miss being pregnant as well...I had the blessing of an easy happy pregnancy.  Can't wait for that again too!

    I definitely get mixed feelings. You are not alone.

    I feel this way too. I had to have a c section because DD just wouldn't fit and I get so jealous of women who got to have their babies the vaginally. There are times I still have a hard time accepting that I had a section. I am hoping to try for a vbac one day!

    I am definitely also jealous of women giving birth because I can't wait to be pg and have another! :)

    I posted this on FB so some of you may already have seen it.

    My friend went into labor today and I had to take her to the hospital.  I was sitting there watching all the monitors showing all the different contractions from the people in labor and I was definitely jealous.  I was in labor for 34 hours, 4 hours of pushing, and I miss it terribly.  I can't wait to do it all over again!!  Just maybe a little faster next time lol.

    I kind of get the same way. I wish my labor had been different, but at the same time because my son rolled on his cord and we literally nearly lost him I can't remember anything but immense relief the second I heard his screams. It also made me not want another baby, it was the single most terrifying experience of my life.

    For me, jealousy isn't really the right word. More like nostalgic. :) I get that way when I see pregnant women. I miss my belly, and I miss feeling DD kick around in there.

    Yeah, not really jealous, but I do miss being pregnant sometimes. Then I remember the sleepless nights, heartburn, and sore hips and I don't!

    I had a vaginal delivery, and I miss my old vag. Things feel so different down there. Even when I walk, run, etc things just feel so stretched out. Ick.

    This! I'm STILL suffering from pubic symphysis diastasis.  I actually went to the doc about it and have to go to some PT sessions.  I am frustrated because I can't run at all and I used to run at least 2-3 ten milers/ half marathons a year. Maybe all the core/ hip exercises will give me a nice booty and abs? 

    As for your "jealousy" I have to admit that I, too, am nostalgic when I talk to friends who will be delivering soon.  It helps to have a plan for when we're going to try again... after i'm in 5 weddings from fall '11- fall '12

    I don't meant to laugh, because I truly can't relate and so I kinda feel like a b*tch for laughing, but your wording is hilarious.

    wow, not at all!  I am JUST now healed. I have 2 friends delivering any day now and I am so terrified for them.  I definitely look forward to having more children, but L&D was the worst part for me!  I despised every second of my time at the hospital until he was out! Then all I could think about was how I wanted to take him home.  Don't get me wrong, my nurses were AMAZING!  But I hate hospitals and had a really rought time physically. I'm considering a birthing center next time around.

    I've felt jealous about my friend's birth/labor announcements, but for a different reason.  I was anticipating and looking forward to a beautiful unmedicated birth, but didn't get to have it due to PreE complications.  Almost everything about birth I was looking forward to didn't happen.  Because of this, I mourn my own birth experience loss every time I hear about someone else's positive experience, particularly if they went unmedicated (which quite a few of my friends did/are plannning on doing).

    It makes me feel kind of bad and selfish for feeling this way, but I do honestly wish them the best.
