Anyone pregnant with their last baby...

ilenegrace · November 2012

Starting to feel sad? I have done my best to really take in everything knowing this is the last I will ever experience this and now I just feel sad that its coming to an end. I just feel like 3rd tri really sneaked up on me and now everything is going super fast. I'm not ready for this to be over. Anyone else feel this way?

Baby #2 will be the last for us unless I experience some sort of blow to the head and forget about potty training my son

I'm like you, trying to take it all in and make sure I remember how it feels to have a little one move around in there and how much I love my baby bump. I'm also kind of sad that this will be the last time I breastfeed. Other than when we 1st started, I really enjoyed nursing my son and was so happy I could provide what he needed. It's almost scary that this phase of my life will be over and I'll be moving on to something other than making babies

this is our last baby but I'm too uncomfortable to be sad about never being uncomfortable again.

ask me in 6 months, I'll be sad then. ;

I think this is the last one for us, but I'm with you. I am not sad at this point, I'm sure I will be in the future, though.

I have brief moments of sadness when I think about this being my last time being pregnant, but mostly I am excited to have our family be complete and just looking forward to watching my kids grow and learn and all the fun ages ahead.

This is our third and, most likely, last baby. I do get sad from time to time. But to be honest, I LOVED being pregnant the first two times but this time it is kicking my butt! I do not think I am going to miss the pregnancy part as much as after the baby is born and knowing that it is going to be the last time I experience all of the little things...rocking the baby to sleep, breastfeeding, first smiles, and coos. I am just going to try to enjoy every single moment as much as I can knowing that I will not be experiencing those things again :-(

Raises hand. I'm good with it.

peacelove&mama · November 2012

Yep, and its really hard on me right now because I'm trying to just relax and enjoy everything knowing that this is most likely the last time I'll ever be pregnant, but my TMJD is horrible lately.

velazquezk1 · November 2012

This is my first, our first together, and our last.

I haven't wanted more than one child and was blessed with two that I inherited from him. I am incredibly sad to the point of almost crying when I thnk about after December I'll be done with being pregnant. Surprisingly it doesn't change my mind about wanting anymore.

HopeNotLost · November 2012

When it was taking us awhile to conceive this baby, I feel like I accepted that I would only have two children. Then I got pregnant again, and I know I will eventually find that acceptance again if not ever having another. I am sad though, but I think only because I love the tiny baby stage and seeing them do new things. I know 3 kids is what we wanted, and that's what we will have, and I am thankful. It's still sad to close the door on the reproduction side of things.

We are in the same position : My husband first, our first together, and God knows our LAST!!

I have two 17 & 8, Lord what am I going to do with a newborn....... LOL

LittleFish1 · November 2012

Long time ago though 3 or 4 kids would be perfect, modified it to two, after seeing friends' difficulties and my minor ones, I am good with one which makes this is my first last ... unless there is some surprise after DH gets the V that we have talked about and has my full support to get. If I want more, we can get a puppy, and/or adopt or foster without going through another pregnancy.

Not feeling sad; looking forward to postbirth with hopefulness.

magnoliablossom00 · November 2012

This is probably our last. I'm not sad about not being pregnant. Honestly, I pretty much hate being pregnant (I have a herniated disc in my back that causes pretty intense pain all day). I will miss my husband talking to my tummy, though. I think that's sweet.

I am not looking forward to the newborn phase again. I will miss every moment of the "baby" phase though. My LO started walking at only 8 months and just didn't want to be a baby for very long, if that makes sense. It seems like she's been a toddler for a long time already. I'm hoping this one takes things a little slower and I can really enjoy the 3m-12m stage of babyhood. Lots of videos and pictures will be happening!

I am SUPER excited to get out of the baby making phase, though. I can't wait until the girls are a little older and we can go to Disney, play on the beach, take them shopping, go on fun vacations together, etc. I love having small children, but I'm ready to have a little more independence back and not spend all my time chasing babies from terrorizing the room! Ha!

blowfish11 · November 2012

This will be the last baby for us.

I don't think I'm going to feel sad until after my tubal ligation which we plan to do the day after I give birth.

I have loved being pregnant until about 32 weeks, so now I'm just ready to have my baby and start life as a family of 5.

NoeliaV · November 2012

This is our first and, very likely, last. I'm not really sad to not have to "do" pregnancy again, but I do get a bit sad to think about her not having a sibling. In spite of it all, I'd do it again for that.

GigiFairy · November 2012

Nope, not sad about pregnancy at all; I do like the kicks and feeling her move and everything, but I'm a wimp and I'm ready to be done.

However, I got very sentimental as we cleared some of DS baby stuff and clothing that we will not use with this LO (we need to make space). I think I'll be sad as I see this baby grow out of baby stages and realize that's all done for us.

kerbear135 · November 2012

I do not know if this will be our first AND last...we knew we wanted at least one, (possibly two), but decided to wait until this LO is a couple of years older to decide if we want another one or not. I am trying to make the most of this pregnancy in case we decide one is enough, and while I'm not sad per say, I am going to miss having her wiggling around inside me all day.

Mrs.DeliaMarieP · November 2012

Yes and no. I think the only thing I will miss, which I missed with DS, too, is feeling her move and knowing she is right there with me. Other than that, even though I've had good pregnancies, I am very much looking forward to being able to bend down again, and seeing my toes and being able to shave myself properly. I am looking forward to being done having children, having my little family and getting to experience life with them.

laureneliza13 · November 2012

When I found out I was pregnant, we were SO excited. Then morning sickness started to kick in and I just am one of those women who does NOT enjoy pregnancy. I feel terrible for my husband...I probably complain all the time, and cry more than I want to admit. So my husband said "wouldn't it be great if it was twins? Then you wouldn't have to be pregnant ever again." Well...he didn't seem as excited about twins when we found out we were ACTUALLY having twins lol. So aside from feeling them move around inside me and knowing that this is the last time I will be able to keep them safe from just about everything, I won't miss being pregnant and these are definitely our first, and last babies.

Meli B · November 2012

Allthough this pregnancy has been more difficult than my previous ones, I am saddened that it will be my last. Being pregnant is a blessing and I am trying to enjoy every second of it

This is me exactly! I'm so over being pregnant right now, but I know that in 6 months I will look back and miss it. Right now though it could be December 11th (the date of our RCS) and I would be one happy mama!

Notwifezilla7 · November 2012

Yup, this is our last baby. DH is adamant about three being it, while I'm still a little disappointed that we won't have one more. While my PGs have been relatively easy and not that uncomfortable, having had a M/C last December really rattled me. I don't want to have to experience that pain (literal & figurative) again.

I don't know how I'll feel once I'm holding this last baby, but for now, I'm a little sad that he/she is it.

StefandTodd · November 2012

This is our last. I'm not sad at all now, but will probably be in the future.

kescalera · November 2012

I am pregnant with my first, and last. I always said I wanted 2 kids of "my own" but after being a step-mom to my SS10, I had changed my mind & said that I was perfectly happy not having any at all. He is "mine" enough for me and I didn't even have to do sleepless nights or change dirty diapers. My DH has always talked about wanting a daughter though and I have such a special relationship with my dad I wanted him to have the chance to experience that. I've had a great pregnancy, very few icky symptoms or uncomfortable moments and have loved the entire experience. It has been an amazing lesson in my own strength, my body, the relationships with those in my life. I don't know if I'll miss any of it but I will definitely look back on the experience with fond memories.

marypnix · November 2012

If I have to have another csection we will probably be done. Get's too risky. If I have my vba2c we will probably have 1 more.

I do get sad thinking this could be it but I am also getting very uncomfortable.

This is how I feel too. I almost feel guilty that I don't feel more sad about this being my last pregnancy. I also feel guilty that I don't feel like I was as tuned in during this pregnancy. Half the time I can't even remember how far along I am.

ambrlynn8 · November 2012

This is debatable. I had a completely uncomplicated pregnancy with the first. This one I've had extreme nausea, cervical issues since 18 weeks along with working through contractions, hospitalization for PTL at 32 weeks which led to bed rest. This has been a bumpy ride. This is DH's first baby and with all the stress of the complications, he's pretty certain this will be our last. I'm a bit sad, because I wanted 3, and he had always said, "We'll see how the second one goes since DS was such a good baby."

I didn't enter this pregnancy thinking it was my last. I keep telling him that they'll monitor me very closely next time, and that there are plenty of women who have no complications the first time, PTL the second time, but go on to have normal pregnancies the 3rd. He doesn't seem to believe me... Sad

I didn't even get to enjoy this pregnancy because of all the complications. Boo.

northhillsbride · November 2012

To be honest, I'm not, but that's because I went through that with #2. We truly thought he would be our last - and it took me a good 18 months after he was born to come to that decision and to be happy with it.

Six months later I got pregnant. LOL I definitely know that this one will be our last, though!
