i am going to miss the rolls, kicks and pokes...

jonnygurl76 · September 2011

as excited as i am to see my LO and see who he looks like, to smell him and to learn his cries...i am sad that i won't feel his movements anymore. when he moves, it is so reassuring to me and just makes me feel so connected to him...especially when i am snuggling with DD and singing or reading to her.

DH and i are not sure yet if we are done after 2 or going to try for a 3rd, if we decide not to have any more it makes me sad that these last couple of weeks will be the last time i feel baby kicks.

I told DH last night that I was going to miss having her with me 24/7. I'm really going to miss feeling her move around in my belly. Makes me cry.

I have been feeling this way as well! I complain to DH about the heartburn and burning, stretching skin but feeling her move around is so amazing...especially when she responds to her big sister or my DH

We haven't made any official decision about how many kids we are having so I am just enjoying it while I have it! Good luck to you!

My bestie who had her baby end of July complains about missing the movement. . I must be a strange one because I don't think I'm going to miss that at all!

Thank you for writing that! I haven't seen it that way and thanks to you, I'm going to be enjoying each kick a lot more. Thank you again! : )

The movements have started getting painful because there's not a lot of room for her in there. So, at the moment, I don't feel like I'm going to miss it at all... but who knows, I could feel very differently once she's not in there anymore.

I feel this exact same way. As excited as I am to hold her and see how similar or different she looks from her sister, assuming this is my last, kind of makes me sad. I love the movements from the inside, but I'm also looking forward to having my body back to myself. Being pregnant for part of 2009, 2010 and most of 2011 has been exhausting to say the least.

i know!! i feel like i have been pregnant for years between DD and #2 and BFing in between......i look forward to getting my body back to myself too. but i still know that i will miss it.

DH and I were just talking about this last night. He asked if I was going to miss being pregnant. I said that, despite having an overall easy pregnancy, I wouldn't miss being pregnant, but I would miss feeling the baby move and having him/her so close all the time. MIL has told me repeatedly that she missed the movement basically as soon as her babies were out.

I'll miss the movement as well. I find it very reassuring, even though sometimes it's not terribly comfortable.

I feel the same exact way. I will also miss having him all to myself.

I think this is my primary issue. Once he's out, he's everyone else's baby.

I completely understand what you all are saying. It took us 4.5 years (and a LOT of $$$$$$$) to conceive this little girl and I don't know that I'll ever get to experience it again. So while I have days where I am just so uncomfortable and in pain - I can't wish it away and just say I want her here because I know I will miss this...

I might be the odd one... but I really don't think I'm going to miss it. Remains to be seen. We also know we are trying for #2 pretty quickly after #1 arrives and I dread the thought of being PG again so soon. But I also don't want to be PG at 40 so it's now or never.

I REALLY want my body back.

This is me too. I am not a fan of the movement. It is nice to know she is ok, but I was never a big fan of it.
