Any FTM's a tiny bit sad- almost done being pregnant?

MegW25 · December 2011

Ok.... So I am SO ready to meet my LO. And, of course I am excited not to be huge anymore, and have to pee every 10 min- but.. I'm a teeny tiny bit sad when I think- I will NEVER be pregnant again for the first time with my first baby. It's kind of a bittersweet moment. Most of the time when someone asks when I"m due/what I'm having, they usually always ask 'is this your first?' .... I will only get to say yes a little while longer.

But, like I said... SO very excited to meet our LO , and hold him and see what he looks like finally!

Any other FTM feel a tiny bit of sadness about this? Even just a littttle bit?

I am sad, I like my inside baby and am not ready to meet my outside baby yet. Everyone said by month 9 all I would want is to meet my baby, but if my feet swelling would decrease a bit then I would be perfectly fine staying this way longer! I really like the mystery of my inside baby.

The thought of my first pregnancy being over definitely makes me a sad. I asked one of my friends who has 2 children if the 2nd pregnancy has all the wonder and amazement of the first, and she said it does. But I'll still be sad to see this one end... Even if I am SO ready to meet our baby!

I am very excited to meet my LO, but yes, definitely a little sad that the time we will be spending just the two of us is nearing an end.

I don't think I'll miss it, but that's yet TBD! I'm so uncomfortable right now that I'm counting the minutes until he arrives - which is hard to do since I don't know when that will happen.. lol

If you asked me this a month ago I owuld have said yes...but now feeling the way I feel I am way over it and ready to be on the flip side of things. Liam's weight is really draining on my body now matter how I lay/sit I have butt/back/vag/stomach pains or if I stand for longer then 10 minutes I have a VERY swollen right foot, to the point I can't walk. So yeah I'm not gonna miss this stage, I'm ready for my body back!

Maybe just a little bit, this pregnancy has been so uneventful and easy so far and I am still feeling so good, I have to say it has been much easier than I anticipated. I am so excited to meet our little boy though that I have been getting very anxious for the next couple weeks to fly by! Makes me think that it won't be too long before I will want to be pregnant again.....but we will see how this goes as it is our first as well.

I'll miss the special bond that just the two of us have- but I am getting so excited to find out who this little person I have been growing is!!!

I thought I would miss being pregnant more, but the joy of having an outside baby is much greater than the baby inside. In my case, as a FTM, I am still planning to have a 2nd baby in the future, so I know I will be getting pregnant again. I may feel different next time, when it will be the last time being pregnant.

I go back and forth on it! I keep finding myself rubbing my belly lots and trying to enjoy every squirm and kick since I think I will miss that feeling.

uncharch7 · December 2011

i am, definitely.

i'm waiting on my 37wk appointment right now. i'm not ready to be done... i have said before that i hated being PG the first 20 weeks; now, i love it. i love feeling him move, i love how DH is so attentive to the belly and how concerned he is with me/baby. we're 95% sure we're one/done, so i treasure any moment we still have.

This. But I am so looking forward to watching DH interact with the baby that I think I can handle not having LO to myself any more.

What I am more nervous about losing is alone time with DH... but we will adjust, and it's worth it.

Even though I haven't enjoyed being pregnant, I will be a little sad once it's over.

kymberleyd22 · December 2011

I definitely feel this way. Although this is my 2 pregnancy, (I didn't get the chance to be this far along with our angel baby) it's just so unreal. I can't wait to meet our baby girl, but I'm really going to miss having her all to myself.

No...Im' more scared of having him out than in, actually.

I am ready to meet him, but I am totally fine if he stays in for another 14 days.

I completely relate to what you said about how you love how DH is so attentive to the belly... It is so adorable how my DH kisses my belly, and just gets all giddy like every time he kicks or squirms around (which is- all the time lol)... I will mis that- but then again, I'm really excited to see him kiss our son... I know I will melt.
