Pregnant after IF

As I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy...

I'm beginning to feel like I'm really going to miss it! I mean I absolutely cannot wait to meet my little guy, it will be the best moment of my life, BUT I can't believe I have less then 6 weeks left of having him in my belly. This pregnancy went by so fast. Now, the upside is that my feet will stop swelling, I can drink wine again(well, within moderation since I'll be BF'ing), and some of my favorite foods will be back on the radar.  So many people IRL have complained to me that by this time in their pregnancy they were "so over it" and "done", but I don't feel that way despite the uncomfortableness that comes along with this stage.  I just still feel so lucky to be pregnant I guess.

Anyone else nearing the end and feeling like they're going to miss it?

  • Me!! I love everything about my pregnancy! I can't believe I will be meeting my sweet girl so soon! I have been so lucky to have had no issues or swelling. Sleep is also great :) especially when she kicks around. One thing I will enjoy after is letting those lungs expand, lol. Ugh so bittersweet :)

  • I'm certainly NOT going to miss the GD diet I am on right now, but yeah, there is a part of me that will miss my belly for sure.  Plus, I was glancing at maternity clothing that was on sale on zulily this weekend and thought to myself "no point in buying any more maternity clothing!" and kinda got bummed out about it.  I have not put on any weight since my 28 week appointment, but my belly is quite large and in charge right now and I love it!  I also think its hilarious when LO's kicks wake me up at night.  Maybe I will be tired of it all in a few weeks, but for right now I am really enjoying being very pregnant.

  • I missed it too after I had Brady and I'm sure I will feel the same way after I have Addison. It is such a surreal feeling after you give birth. Can't wait for you ladies to experience it!

  • I too have had a great pregnancy and don't want this to end either. After he is born it will no longer be just him and I like when your pregnant, Im going to miss him movin around because I was the only one to experience that and dealing with IF, who knows if it will ever happen again. I honestly feel really good being this far along and meeting him in less than 12 days!! The only Im looking forward to is bending over and not hurting!
  • Me!!!! I am feeling quite uncomfortable these days and I do miss having that wine and sushi, but I am definitely going to miss the pregnancy. I can NOT wait to meet my LO but I can not believe how fast the pregnancy went! Let's enjoy these last few weeks!

  • Definitely.  It has been an easy pregnancy for me, though I'm a bit stressed now with the concerns over baby girl's growth, etc.  I like having her safe inside and feeling her kick, etc.  But now that it seems like my body might be failing her and she might be better off out than in, I'm disappointed that things aren't going better.  I was really looking forward to these last two months with her and the chance that I might not get them is disappointing.

  • Me. As tough as morning sickness and swelling feet are...honestly I will totally miss having this child in my belly. Even the uncomfortable moments have been truly amazing. Yes, I have some aches and pains, but I guess dealing with this is nothing compared to the pain of IF.  I feel truly lucky.

    While I can't wait to meet my little one, I feel like this pregnancy is going to be over in a blink of an eye and I am a little sad. But at the same time, I know that we are going to have a whole new world of wonderful experiences.

    After 2 years of TTC, our daughter was born on Oct 31, 2011!
