My app informed me today that our little baby is now FULL TERM, but will continue to get stronger and healthier as we approach our due date! I'm very excited to meet this little one and share him/her with the world; however, I'm also realizing that I am going to miss being pregnant too! From the tiniest flutters to complete somersaults I've experienced this baby growing inside of me, something only a mother gets to do! So, I'm going to cherish these last few weeks getting to have this little one all to myself!
I'm going to miss being pregnant I think. We tried for 7 years to get pregnant and I was overwhelmed with worry and anxiety for most of the pregnancy. I know this will be the only time I will ever be pregnant, so I really want to enjoy these last few weeks and take it all in!

Baby Will born 8/18. He's perfect.
I remember this feeling with DD and feel so completely guilty for not feeling that way this time. I know I will miss it once it's over and it's such a crazy feeling going from having him with me 24/7 to being able to walk away or leave him with someone. I know I will hate all of that but I've been so uncomfortable lately. I am thankful this constant lethargy and the aches and the discomfort is almost gone and it's hard to cherish all of it right now.
DS is a week old now. I don't miss being pregnant at all. I feel so much better not pregnant plus I get to hold him and stare at him! Also, no more gestational diabetes!!
It's always something so incredibly special the first time you feel them kick, nothing quite like it. However I don't think I'll miss being pregnant. I much prefer them on the outside. I do however miss the milestones and baby movements, that I will miss when they pass by.
I will. There's been points here and there that I will gladly leave behind, but I love carrying my bean around and feeling him move around. I never thought I'd be this person!
I will miss the anticipation of a tiny new person. I get all giddy and excited thinking about who that little person inside will be but I don't think I'll miss any of the physical parts of being pregnant.
I'm going to miss being the only person who knows what he's up to all the time. And if I'm being really honest, I'll probably miss my family/friends doting on me!
I'm sure EVENTUALLY I will. It's my third and my last, and I try to remind myself that these movements will become a distant memory I'll look back on fondly. Not to want to do it again or anything, but a nice special time in my life.
No. No way. Nope. Nada. Absolutely not. hahahahahaha Excited for her to be here and go back to normal life (ya know, the lifting what I want, doing things I want, people not treating me like a fragile doll!!!) it's had its perks, but I'm over it
I am probably going to do this one more time so not really.

I was right there with you until 2 days ago when I got the worst back pain that shoots down my right leg. I miss having my body to myself but this is such a special time that I can never get back. I'm trying to enjoy each moment and remember that once it's over I can never be pregnant with this child again.
I'm happy to say that I have enjoyed most all of this pregnancy. Knowing that this could very well be my last one... I wanted to try and cherish it. That said, at this point I just want the coming weeks to fly by. I'm over it. I feel like a cow. I just want to be able to play with DS again and have fun without constantly having to tell him to be careful of mommy's tummy.
I don't think I'll miss it much if at all. I'm ready to move to the next chapter in my life with this as a good memory.
Despite the difficulties, I LOVE being pregnant. I am def going to miss it!! I hope so much that I'll get the opportunity to experience it again! I think I'd be devastated if I didn't.
I'm going to be happy to be done with it all but at the same time, yea, I think I'll miss her foot poking out and her movements that don't hurt me. I'm going to miss looking disc at my belly and taking to her but now, I'll get to look at her and talk to her and i won't have to just imagine what she looks like. I can't wait for her to be here in my arms... I'm going to have a hard time putting her down
No. I didn't miss it after DD, and I know I won't miss it this time even though this is probably our last. Some of the movements are kinda cool, but its not enough to make me want to endure any of the rest of it (mentally or physically). My biggest hang-up to trying for this second baby was having to be pregnant again.
No way! Between the acid reflux, insomnia, random pains, throwing up and more.. I do not miss being pregnant. I will miss the fluttery light kicks vs the ninja kicks. Today I was already telling DH of plans to sign up for a 5K and all sorts of activities.
I'm going to need some selective memory loss about pregnancy #1 before I can even think about kid #2.
No way will I miss being pregnant. I don't enjoy pregnancy at all. If the stork was real, I'd have all the babies!! Since it's not, I'm probably done after this.
After I delivered on Friday and the room finally cleared of extra drs, my nurse said, "Well, you're not pregnant anymore. How's it feel?!" I seriously about screamed, "SO GOOD!" I stand by that sentiment 5 days later.

Memory loss will come. Beware of the first three months because that memory stays with you.
NO I won't miss it not even a tiny little bit. I am SO relieved that it's over! The first time I went outside non pregnant, last week I thought it as gonna faint. It was so hot and humid all I could think was "Thank God I am not pregnant anymore."
