Fantasize about being pregnant?

JaimeLD6 · March 2012

I think about it all the time.

About how far along I'll be around a holiday or an event or something.

Am I alone in doing this?

+easye+ · March 2012

Sigh, no, I'm on the crazy train too. I'm def guilty of pushing my stomach out and looking in the mirror pretending its a baby belly and not a food belly lol.

HayleyCks87 · March 2012

I do this all the time. It's crazy because it's all I think about. DH tells me to relax and let it happen.

So that what I'm doing. Relaxing.

Lots of baby dust to u!!!

I don't really fantasize about it, but a couple of weekends ago I was shopping and found a cute dress that I could possible wear for a wedding this summer or fall. I tried it on and totally had the 'would this fit if I were pregnant' mentality.

kimcchem · March 2012

I do the same thing! A lot of my work trainings are really physical and I always catch myself hesitating to sign up and checking the calendar! I think its just one of those things that no matter how hard you try not to you catch yourself playing the what if game.

Last weekend I went to the mall with my MIL. We passed a maternity store. I saw a really cute maternity dress. I then imagined myself in that dress.

jaimeCRN · March 2012

I'm guilty of this too. I loved being pregnant with DS and can't wait to be pregnant again. I think most women who are TTC fantasize about being PG.

I think we've all been there at one point or another.

Kate504 · March 2012

I saw a maxi maternity dress at target and wished I was pg so I could wear it.

JaimeLD6 · March 2012

I look at bedding, clothes, shower ideas, maternity clothes!

This. And mine goes out really far for some reason... :-

choppinbroccoli22 · March 2012

Having been PG before, yes, I remember it all the time and imagine it again.

I loved being PG...

SunnyDaze365 · March 2012

I've done this too, glad to hear others are admitting to it also! I was, not obsessed, but completely in love with the idea of having a November 2012 baby. That way I'd be 7th months pregnant over Labor Day weekend at our family's 30th annual trip to the lake. It would be 30 years to the month my mom went for the first time, pregnant with me.

Haha I semi hated being pregnant (my body apparently doesn't do pregnant so well, lots of pain, carpal tunnel, blurred vision, high bp) and yet I still fantasize about it now. It is crazy how just the thought of feeling the baby move and having another little one is enough to make me forget how much I suck as a pregnant woman.

TofuMama7 · March 2012

I'm guilty of that too. My sister in law is getting married this summer, whenever I think about the wedding I picture myself in a maternity dress.

TofuMama7 · March 2012

Also, every time I start my period I go to one of those online due date calculators and enter CD1 as "first day of your last menstrual cycle" to see when my due date will be if it works out.

* Did it today, FX for an early January baby! (why do I do this to myself...)

angelsnight · March 2012

Nope, not alone. I spent about an hour last Saturday night (yes all alone, MH was downstairs and it was like 2 in the morning) designing my dream nursery....coming up with themes, looking at paint colors. Thank God I can't pinterest anything yet (since I think a board all about nursery design would tip some people off) or I'd be doing that ALL day.

I've totally done this. My Dh's cousin is having a wedding in December this year and I imagine being there in a cute maternity dress.

I have an extra pinterest account just for this reason.

Yes totally! A little while ago, I had gas. (hang with me here) One bubble stopped me dead in my tracks: it felt JUST like an elbow jab would feel. I pictured another baby in there so clearly, it was just.....so real for a second.

SunRocks · March 2012

I created a fake (unused for purchasing) Amazon account as a way to keep track of baby items I don't want to forget about. Whenever I see someone on a friend's registry, my sister buys a great gadget, toy, bath item, etc...

*shame face*

Shayliz · March 2012

I fantasize more about the baby that will come after being pregnant.

shestall · March 2012

Before I had DD I never fantasized about it but now that I know what it's like I seriously LONG for it. I want to run my hands over my baby belly and I miss feeling little baby kicks. More than anything though I want to hold that sweet baby and smell their new skin and have it be MY baby. ::::sigh:::::

mrskitton · March 2012

I sometimes think about it.....then reality slaps me in the face and I wake up!

LaurelBee · March 2012

Yes, I do too. I had a pretty horrible 1st tri with Ds, but the rest of my pregnancy was great! I also fantasize about Ds being a big brother. I do not fantasize about having another newborn, sleepless nights, and cluster feeding!!

PB&J9 · March 2012

Guilty as charged. I also like to imagine myself KU at different family events in the coming year, telling our parents and snuggling a baby on the couch with DH. I find it weird but I'm also looking forward to breastfeeding. I think it will be an amazing way to connect with LO and I want to experience it.

jenm84 · March 2012

I do this all the time, sometimes I worry I'm sort of jinxing myself, but at the same time I feel like visualizing a healthy, happy pregnancy and healthy, happy family then things will fall into place. I imagine everything from how to tell DH, family, what the nursery will look like, etc. Every single time I see a baby at the park/zoo/etc. I just think how fun it will be to do all those things. Of course we only fantasize about the great times - there is never morning sickness or screaming babies in any of these.

gplove94 · March 2012

All. the. time.

SCSmith2011 · March 2012

I do this a lot. It's gotten worse now that we're building a house. SD is getting new-to-her furniture so her old furniture is going in what will be the nursery if/when we get pregnant. I've completely decorated that room in my mind.

That is so funny! I thought the same thing and hadn't even read your post! GL to you!

Ladylec · March 2012

I do this all the time! I just daydream about being pregnant and how cute my belly will look and how my clothes will fit around my belly and how awesome it will be when we go to our first ultra sound and if DH will cry when our baby is born. It is just exciting to have these fantasies.
