As I anxiously await LO's arrival, it occurred to me how fast these 9 months have gone by. And made me realize I will miss watching my growing belly & feeling the swirling baby motions inside. You??
I will miss seeing ds kiss and talk to my belly. But I'm sure that will be surpassed by watching him kiss and talk to his sister in person once she's born.
My skin has been great through out this pregnancy- hardly any breakouts. I will miss that! And being able to just let my stomach hang out after a big meal.
I'm with @Ashleypixie. At this point I can't think of anything I will miss about this. I can't even eat whatever I want anymore because for some reason right now nothing sounds good to me at all. Even the ice cream fetish I had earlier in my PG is gone. :-(
With my first pregnancy I was all nostalgic and I was going to miss it (and I did) but this one? NOPE. I will miss the excuse to go lay down whenever I want. That is all.
Mama to a little girl born July 2011 and a little boy born April 2014!
I'm looking but I can't find anything I'll miss about pregnancy. Sadly I'll have to go with something superficial like the 10 lbs I lost in trimester one. I'll be honest I was literally at the weight I was trying to get to before pregnancy. I enjoyed LO's movements for a while but then they got uncomfortable. I'll never forget the first flutter I ever felt though.
I miss being pregnant. I don't miss all the pain but I miss feeling LO move and I miss the anticipation and excitement of planning for him.
This for me, too.
I miss sitting on the couch, feeling her wiggling around, and putting my husband's hand on my belly.
I miss the endless wondering who this little girl was and what she was going to look like.
I miss having a good night's sleep. (Believe me, pregnancy sleep is like a spa vacation compared to newborn sleep.)
I miss it just being me and my husband. I miss that a lot.
I miss the way my pregnant body looked. I'd never felt less critical of it than I did the past few months.
BUT I had a pretty fucking terrible pregnancy and I have a beautiful, healthy, calm, and easy baby girl now - so even though I miss those things and feel nostalgic for them already, the new normal is pretty badass and I wouldn't change a thing. I love my little family. Awwww... I think I'm gonna cry now.
This isn't quite what you're describing but I have had moments where I start to freak out because I haven't felt the baby move in a while ...and then I realize it's because "she's in the bassinet next to you stupid"
I can't wait to see my little girl, but I'll miss the excitement of picturing her, of feeling her inside, the possibility to be lazy without anybody saying anything. I will also miss my hair and nails, they have never been so healthy!!!
Helpful people, random smiles from strangers, feeling the baby move and knowing he's safe at all times and having something to look forward to like never before. Having said that, I can't wait to wear normal clothes again and meet him.
I'll miss DH kissing my belly every night. It's only cute and appropriate while pregnant. I'll miss maternity pants a lot! Good thing I'll probably still wear them for a while.
