Anyone else sad?

To not be pregnant anymore? I know everyone hasn't delivered yet but I have and this was my last. As much as I did not enjoy being pregnant at the end I'm a little sad to be done and knowing I won't have another kinda pulls at the heartstrings lol. For those of you who have delivered do you miss it yet? Ladies who haven't delivered yet do you think you will miss it?

    I delivered on 9/23. I don't miss being pregnant necessarily, but do feel like I'm mourning the idea of being pregnant again. I want another (in a few years) but H is adamant we are done

    I delivered 9/25 and don't miss being pregnant. I'm pretty sure at this point, he'll be an only child and I'm super ok with it.

    I think that's normal - it's the closing of a chapter in your life. I personally find it sad whenever I'm at those kinds of crossroads as well. I'm pretty sure we are done after this one too, and I think it will be harder to watch this one grow from infant to toddler because I know I won't get that expereince again. I'm really lucky to enjoy my career and I've taken time off to be a stay at home mom, so I comfort myself with the fact that I have new adventures to look forward to. Take care of yourself!

    This is my first but I know I'm not going to miss it at all. It has been a rough pregnancy. It may take several years before I decide to do this again. Now when I do, I would probably feel the same as you because there have been a few cool parts. I think for he, though, the outcome will be better than the process.

    One week pp and I'm not really sad at all. I was afraid I'd miss baby kicks but it's hard to when you get to hold and kiss them! I'm so excited to not be pregnant anymore. XP

    Today's my due date and I'm still pregnant and oh-so-ready for my boy's arrival but yes, it is bittersweet to know I will never have a first pregnancy. I've had a lovely pregnancy, fortunately, and I embraced every day of it, knowing there's nothing like the first one.  Although I am very uncomfortable now at 40w coupled with anxious curiosity to meet babes, I agree that it is a little sad to close this time in your life, which is truly a biological marvel...

    @ERININSYDNEY I feel the SAME! I'm due tomorrow and scheduled for induction. I'm miserable; but I know I'm gonna miss my baby boy inside! Babies grow up way too fast and you're right, being a first time mom is an awesome feeling! Although this is my second pregnancy, this is my first child due to a miscarriage. There's NO feeling like being a FTM! I hope things work well for you and baby!! ;)

    I'm pretty sure I won't be sad. Give me back the ability to sleep comfortably and wear normal clothes, please!! Not to mention being able to walk normally, not have to pee every hour on the hour, make my job less difficult, and be able to ride my horse again. Nope no sadness here.

    I'm due today, still pregnant, and this question got me thinking about how soon this little life will be out in the world and develop into his or her own personality.
    I think I'll be happy for the simple fact of not carrying around the extra weight and being able to eat without heartburn. But in all reality, I'm going to miss being pregnant and we may end up having another soon after. I have loved having my husband's hand on my belly while he falls asleep, listening to him talk to the baby and tell our little one what he's going to teach them. I'm going to miss watching my body change and support a life, miss feeling the little rolls and kicks throughout the day.
    It's such a beautiful thing and I can totally admit as anxious as I am to have the baby out and in my husband's arms, I am going to miss having a little buddy growing away inside the tummy.

    Part of me is looking forward to not being pregnant anymore, but part of me is kind of scared. I'm always thinking about how it's much easier to keep him safe when he's inside of me.

    First Time Mommy!

    Due Date: Oct 11th 2015

    No no no! All three of my pregnancies have been very healthy ones (thankfully) but I HATE being pregnant. HATE HATE HATE IT! Baby boy is our last and as I took all my maternity clothes out of my closet the other day, I sighed with relief knowing I'll never need them again!
