Miss/Don't Miss
Name one thing you miss about being pregnant and one thing you don't miss about being pregnant.
Mine are
I miss feeling DD kick and knowing that she was safe in my belly.
I don't miss the stares "wow she is huge" and the stupid questions "are you pregnant". Also if one more person asked me for the 100th time when I was due I would scream!

Re: Miss/Don't Miss
oddly, i miss having the gestational diabetes. IT forced me to eat right and kept my weight down
what i don't miss are the back pains and lack of sleep from said back pain.
I miss him kicking me, especially when I was at work. It always gave me a pick-me-up.
I don't miss the excessive water retention. I really hope that doesn't happen to me should I get pregnant again. I also don't miss all the other odd bodily mishaps.
I miss the kicks and the help I got from others. And I thought I looked cute pregnant.
I don't miss the huge swollen feet, back pain, and the shooting inner thigh/leg pain I got towards the end. I also don't miss going to the dr weekly and peeing in a cup every appt. Towards the end it was very hard to aim correctly.
I miss him being inside me and feeling the squirms and kicks. I liked the bond of knowing that I was the only person having that special experience with him.
I don't miss the lightning crotch I had for the last 4 months of my pregnancy, the paranoia that something would go wrong or that he'd come too early, the not being able to sleep or the AWFUL swelling I had for the last month.
I miss pretty much everything. I am one of those people that had a really easy pregnancy so I loved every minute of it.
The only part I didn't enjoy was the lack of sleep. I am a stomach sleeper and couldn't sleep almost immediately. And every morning around 3:30 I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep until about 5:30-when it was almost time to wake up. But besides that, I loved it all.
I miss the kicks from DS, the kindness and care from other people, and being able to take a nap or eat whatever and however much I wanted without anybody looking at me sideways.
I don't mess the sheer exhaustion, acid reflux, or over all body pain.
Miss having nice, thick hair for once in my life.
Don't miss everything else! Especially the reflux and perpetual stuffy/bloody nose. Also, don't miss worring about DS because I couldn't see him and toward the end people asking me, "You're still pregnant?"
I miss almost everything, the kicks, the maternity clothes, all the dr appts... I could go on & on.
The one this I don't miss are the excruciating, can't walk, can't sit, can't stand, can't roll over crotch pains!
I miss not having an excuse for being overweight.
I don't miss vomiting for seven months straight.
I had an easy pregnancy, but I hated almost everything about it. I do miss feeling him kick and move around.
I don't miss people telling me how small I was and making sure that I was eating and gaining weight.
