Confession

I really miss being pregnant! Dont get me wrong, I am SO happy that my LO is here but I loved being pregnant.

My pregnancy was one problem after another and everyone told me that they dont know how I kept my head on straight but no matter what the issues I loved every minute of it. I loved the bump, the clothes to accentuate the bump, feeling LO in there, planning for his arrival. ALL OF IT!

Wait, change that! I miss all off it EXCEPT the stretch marks. But how can I miss them when they wont go away?! hahaha

I felt the same way. I had a preemie at 34 weeks, so my pregnancy went by quicker then most. I also had the worst 10 weeks heading into delivery being on bedrest, but I still would love to feel his inside kicks (ouside kicks hurt lol) one more time.

I miss it too! I still feel phantom kicks over 11 weeks later. I so can't wait to be pregnant again. Although I did have an incredibly easy pregnancy. I imagine I might feel differently had it been more difficult.

I really enjoyed being pregnant too. It was so nice to have her in my belly and feel her moving. I think I missed being pregnant more earlier on... probably because I was missing sleep. Now that she's getting bigger and sleeping through the night, I don't think I would trade her for a pregnant belly any day. Her smiles and chattering and her warm little body make everything worth it.

I agree, I had Foster at 36 weeks exactly and was in and out of the hospital and on bedrest at the end so I feel like all of them sudden it came to an abrupt end when I thought that I had some time!!!

I totally agree, I dont want him back inside but instead I just really want to be pregnant again soon =/ DONT TELL DH, hahahaha.

It makes me sad to think all that I will have to go through to even have a chance of feeling all those things again. If I was a normal "fertile" person I think I wouldnt have quite this bad of an urge because I knew when I tried I could do it all again. I think its more a combo of fear that I never will feel it again and knowing all I will have to go through to get there.

All of this exactly!!!

I've heard so many IF ladies say this and it makes so much sense. I really think that in general we appreciate our pregnancies more than those who haven't struggled. We all know what a gift it is. That said, i confess I'm so happy I'm not pregnant anymore!

I totally feel ya Linds! With this hurricane bearing down, I wish she was inside instead of out. I feel like she would be safer there.

My pregnancy came to a very abrupt end when my water broke at 33w4d...scary as heck. In some ways I feel like I missed out on a important part of pregnancy and now it is affecting how I have to do things with her...like fortifying her breastmilk which means I can't breastfeed her like I want to.

I know! I feel like we missed out on the "normalcy" AGAIN. Foster went straight to the NICU and we had to use formula to wean off the feeding tube and nothing went the way I thought that it would.... typical! lol

I feel like we missed the end of the pregnancy when its supposed to be the nesting and preparing and being huge and happy about it part. =/

I miss it too. I'm probably overly nostalgic about it because I know that I won't be pregnant again. I miss having her with "me" all the time, I miss the anticipation of her arrival, and I miss what it felt like (hard to believe I'm already forgetting).

I do have a pretty visible reminder still around, though, since my belly isn't gone even though she's vacated the space.

Ditto everything including the stretch marks! I wrote a post on PAIF when DS was about 2 months old baout how I was ready to me back. I just missed it even though I love having him here even more. It is so weird.

I had a difficult pregnancy too, but still miss it. I feel like I kind of got gipped since I struggled with mydelivery and had complications during the second half of my pregnancy. I know that the end result of a healthy baby(ies) is what is most important though so I'm lucky in that respect.

I love P so much and wouldn't trade him for the world. But sometimes I also miss being pregnant. I really hope that I will get the chance to experience it again!

ditto! I hope more than anything that I get to experience it one or two more times! (feels funny to say this when not even a year ago I was praying to ever even get one go around at it)
