Baby blues

backwoodsbrunette · August 2014

Last night I started thinking about how I'm no longer pregnant and it really got to me. I'm very happy my baby girl is finally here but it really hit me that I no longer have a big belly. I miss being able to feel her move around inside me, feeling her cute little hiccups. I miss all the wonderful nurses I had at labor & delivery. I miss it all so much. It made me start tearing up last night. After all the pain I went through having her I thought I'd never have another child, now I miss it & I'm thinking id love being pregnant again and having another baby! Anyone else miss being pregnant?

Nope

I miss being pregnant too! I love my dd being here but I had such a great pregnancy and I feel like it went by way too quick.

Hell no. I love having her on the outside. Way better than inside.

Totally feel you on every level. I had great nurses, the best LC, my doctor freaking rules, and I so enjoyed pregnancy. I can't wait to do it all again someday. It was such a positive experience, even the pain of labor. I cried because I missed it too, but bb evolved into ppd and now I'm super medicated!

OP you're not alone! I feel crazy admitting it, but I love being pregnant! This was number two for us & we're unsure if we'll have a third. It makes me sad to think that this could have been my last pregnancy.

Yes pregnancy is always good to me. Inside babies are much easier

Overall I had a great experience so I do miss it. I feel a little guilty to admit I also miss the attention. I'm glad LO has so many loving famly members but I've been demoted to that chick leaking milk through her shirt.

I don't miss being pregnant per se, but I already told hubby I'd be game for another as long as my doctor says we'll be okay. I just am hooked on the extreme love I feel for this guy. I'm so tired but damn, do I love my baby. I sure do like that I can do things like bend over or see my feet, though!

I don't miss actually being pregnant, but I miss the excitement and anticipation that came along with it. I spent 9 months dreaming and planning for how things will be, and then the baby's here and it's just SO much harder than I could have imagined. It was sort of a tough pill to swallow.

I don't feel like this as much this time, because I've already been second fiddle to DS1 for 22 months. But when he was born, I totally felt like I went from being the center of attention...to nothing but a milk truck:/

I definitely feel you, OP. I'm so glad my baby is here and I can hold him and look at him, and I'm glad to not have this huge heavy belly to lug around, but I do miss feeling him inside me and I miss the anticipation and like another person said I even miss labor a little. And I sort of miss the attention, but DH has been so great about helping that I don't really feel like I'm lacking any (plus the attention got annoying after awhile). I'm not in a hurry to get huge and uncomfortable again, but I am looking forward to #2 in the future.

No. Just bring able to fully empty my bladder makes me want to sing and jump with joy! My dh is already talking about having the next one and I'm all ummmm no. We'll adopt.

I could not have said this better myself. Definitely feel this exact same way!

The only thing I miss is being able to play and swim with DD, and the inside kicks. Having a baby attached to the boob all the time and having a flabby stomach (never got one with DD) sucks. Oh and trying to juggle two at night when they both wake up crying by myself also is no fun, DH works nights so I'm on bedtime duty myself.

brittany&dain · August 2014

I miss some things. I think I miss it more because I know we probably won't be having anymore

darkangel42 · August 2014

I don't miss being pregnant (I'm not very good at the pregnant bit) but I do miss knowing she was right there in my tummy. She was supposed to be the last but OH desperately wants another (he wanted 5 originally) and I'm almost on board with having one more, just not sure now I'd manage with 3.

Wrights22 · August 2014

Not yet... But I know I will miss it one day. I did after DD. It is an exciting time... With all of the anticipation. Although I never miss not being able to drink.
