Does anyone still "feel" pregnant sometimes?

DD was born 8 weeks early and she was in the NICU for a month (she's been home for 2 weeks now and is doing great).  There are still times, I "feel" pregnant or that I've "lost" that being pregnant time and I get sad about it.  

 The other night, I even placed DD to sleep in the co-sleeper next to my bed, and then I almost placed a pillow in between my legs (as I did when I was pregnant!) before going to sleep myself.  It was such a weird moment, and I was just wondering if anyone else is a little sad and if you still mentally feel pregnant sometimes? I LOVE that my DD is here and healthy, but I guess I'm still shocked that she arrived early (her due date was 12/23).

    I don't feel pregnant any more, but I do remember feeling really cheated of my final month of pregnancy.  I still regret that i didn't get to have that.  But I love my daughter so much, it really does make up for it.

    I think what you're feeling is very normal. I totally miss being pregnant. I used to get really sad about it, especially when Jack was in the NICU and I was at home, no longer pregnant, and without a baby. It's better now that he's home and my due date is in 3 days. Yay for DD being home and doing well!

    I'm so glad I'm not alone.  I had the phantom kicks too --- for a few weeks after DD was born.  A part of me still wishes I was pregnant (this is the last baby for us, we now have 3 kids) because I knew this would be the last baby inside me -- ever.  Again, very very happy to have her here with me, just feel a little like I was robbed of the 2 extra months...It could be that I'm exhausted too :D Have a great week ladies!
