Just for fun- is there anything you'll miss about these last few days of pregnancy?

diablesse · February 2016

As we all endure these agonisi...uh, last few weeks of pregnancy, is there anything at all you think you might miss about it?
Let's see if we can find something positive to keep us going.

diablesse · February 2016

I'll miss my hairless legs. All my leg hair falls out when I'm pregnant. Other than that, I got nothing.
oh yeah, and making my husband go get all my drinks while I sit on the sofa.

ceds07 · February 2016

No. Honestly and truly, nothing. Grinchy but true.

aashbiez · February 2016

I'll miss breaking a sweat when I put on pants/socks/shoes.
Oh wait... no I won't!

Scheduled c section, so I'll get to be pampered for a while after by the hubs at least

I WILL miss getting away with wearing leggings non stop. They are my jam right now.

flowerpower5838 · February 2016

Yeah I kind of enjoy not wearing real pants. I mean, I work in an office so I still have to look presentable, but I've basically been living in dresses/tunics and leggings.

I will miss the money that we are not spending on daycare.

I do love carrying this child and feeling his movements and the look on DH's face when baby is not being shy for him, so I imagine that will be something I will miss as well.

ecwk · February 2016

I will miss baby kicking and squirming about but I'm sure having baby in my arms will make up for that!

I'll miss not having to suck in my stomach!!

Ditto to both!!!

I do love feeling baby movements, and will miss it, especially since this is probably my last baby. You do get some random phantom baby movements after though! (At least I do, I don't think it's just me!)

FutureMrsCaesar · February 2016

Yeah I will miss feeling baby move, even though the majority of her movements are somewhat painful at this point. Also it's kind of fun and exciting anticipating the birth and not knowing when it will happen and looking forward to seeing him/her for the first time. This is definitely our last pregnancy so I am trying to to wish away the last few weeks.

katy0990 · February 2016

I'll miss the special treatment I have been getting from coworkers and family.

SarahFoley725 · February 2016

I'll miss not having a table attached to the front of me

You stole my thunder!

I'll miss those squirmy reminders that baby is in there and doing a-ok and proudly displaying and puffing out my belly!

eta: I don't know why it keeps deleting half my post!

smushi · February 2016

I will miss having my DS being my only one. His snuggles are so precious right now. I'll take all the discomfort to have just a little more one on one time with him.

cmerribury · February 2016

No

hecubus330 · February 2016

I will miss not feeling guilty about eating cookies and constantly wearing yoga pants

kyraaD · February 2016

i think rhe only things i will miss will be feeling baby move around, & then using pregnancy as an excuse to wear my sweats everywhere! hahah.

bdanks · February 2016

I will miss feeling him move around. And not having to do any heavy lifting. I haven't had to get a single bucket of ice in months.

and the love of food, I just love all food so much.

I will not miss this congestion. Or not being able to sleep on my tummy.

I am ready to meet our little man.

Sconesy..Cider · February 2016

I'll miss getting to eat weird food combos and (at times) more than the usual amount of food without judgement.

Like @smushi I'll miss the 1:1 ratio between me and DS during the day.
ETA: word fails fixed!

emjeve · February 2016

I'll miss feeling baby squirming around and I'll also miss spending so much time with DD- the mom guilt is real.

ClaireBear90 · February 2016

Being able to carry my baby 24/7, hands free.
Those fun kicks and pokes. I always miss them.
Sleeping without being awoken by newborn screams. I don't care how often I have to go to the bathroom or I can't fall asleep or how uncomfortable I am . . . it's NOTHING compared to the sleep deprivation and exhaustion of a new baby.
My belly. People can tell me how huge I am or I look like I'm going to pop, but I LOVE my pregnant body. I never love my body more than when I am pregnant.

Katherine8908 · February 2016

I will miss my DS bieng my one and only

even though im excited about DS #2 I feel like im taking something away from him he will never get back .

I felt like this too when I had my second. The guilt can be hard! But you are giving your son such a gift with a brother! It may take time to adjust, but know that the feelings are totally normal and okay!

annawestt · February 2016

I will miss eating whatever I want! I keep telling myself that I'll eat healthy again when I'm no longer pregnant...and I'll see how that goes! It's definitely been fun to splurge on whatever I want anytime of the day or night. I have been SO bad about that this past month lol - oops

bntfroggie · February 2016

I'll miss my little companion. She comes with me everywhere.

I'll miss her little pokes and prods

I'll miss having an excuse to be fat ha ha.

schweitz · February 2016

I just think it'll be kind of weird to not have the baby in my belly anymore. Imagine how weird it'll feel. We have been carrying our LO's for 9 months and constantly feeling them there. When they come out all your organs are still going to be spread out and you're just going to feel kind of hollow inside. While I won't miss being out of breath every time I bend over or the chore of rolling over in bed, I imagine I will miss that feeling of having my baby always there inside of me.

katelin318 · February 2016

Ditto what most people have already said - I will miss feeling her little squirms and kicks, not worrying about sucking in my stomach, DH taking over more house chores and dog walks, and the big one - always getting a seat on the subway! God bless New Yorkers, this morning no one sitting noticed me and my big pregnant belly standing there, so this guy standing next to me said loudly "Does anyone want to give her a seat?!" and three people like fell over themselves to offer one to me

ehowa499 · February 2016

I always love how much nicer people are to you when you are very obviously pregnant- holding doors, letting you bump in line, people giving up seats. I love feeling the baby move and kick.

All in all though, I will be much happier when I have an outside baby. This one has just been too painful.

arcanejinx · February 2016

Nothing. I hate being pregnant. Never again. I want to hold her so bad, but she's still cooking. I'm just impatient and I worry more now than ever (probably cause I know a lot of women IRL who lost their children late term so that's playing with my anxiety).

Kellyim10 · February 2016

This is so timely because just a couple of nights ago I was talking with a friend who has a 2 year-old and she said about a week after he was born she realized how much she missed the movement. I will definitely miss feeling him wriggling around. It's so fun to be sitting in a meeting at work and just feel a little jab, like, "Hi, Mom, I'm here!"

I won't miss aaaallll of the other nonsense

Knottie59802221 · February 2016

I'll miss my husband cooking dinner while I sit with my feet up.

crcosmetics · February 2016

I'll miss knowing he's always safe and with me inside my tummy and feeling his movements. I have loved being pregnant but I am ready to have my wiggle worm here!

maelic · February 2016

Oh man, I will not miss feeling him move. It's less "kicking" and more "scraping my internal organs with his knobby elbows" and I've gotten pretty damn sick of it.

I will miss having use of both my arms and not being a dairy bar.

I'm a grouch, but I'm not a huge fan of the newborn phase either. I can't wait to not be pregnant but I realllllly can't wait to have a 6 month old. My toddler is so awesome these days, she's fun and a sweetheart and I'm excited for her brother to get there too!

oceanchild · February 2016

i will probably only miss not having to suck in my belly. and how sometimes people are extra kind (here's looking at you stranger who picked up the cans i dropped at the store, and other stranger who helped me get the bulk pallet of gatorade from my cart to the trunk).
im not a fan of all the baby movements anyhow. and this painful pregnancy has totally defeated me. i am ready for our family to be complete and to focus on the next stage of our lives, just growing together

tJaffe · February 2016

Like PP, I'll probably miss feeling him move.

I'll definitely miss my husband not giving me crap about getting into the sweets more often.

I'll miss my parents doting on me and spoiling me.

But I'm very, very glad to be giving that all up in 30 days or so when my first little one arrives. Any time I miss those things, I'll just snuggle him closer and stare at him a little longer.

rikaroo · February 2016

I'm a FTM who "tried" for a while before getting pregnant, so this pregnancy has been really special to me. I also was so in the mode of not thinking I could get pregnant (and not having a period) that I was 5 months along (in week 19) before I found out we are expecting!

Now, at 36 weeks, I am just thankful for every day, the little movements and the big, rolling movements, and the excitement I feel. I know it might sound cheesy, but getting to be pregnant (after thinking it just wouldn't happen for me) is making me pretty damn appreciative of every little step in the process!

That being said, I will be excited to get back to my regular level of activity (eventually, and to meet the little guy in person!

This. As uncomfortable as the lat days/weeks of pregnancy are, I always say that they're SO MUCH EASIER to take care of when they're on the inside!

irenewslee · February 2016

Other than the part about not having to suck my tummy in... I think I'll miss giving DD all my attention and very soon I'll have to take care of two with basically no sleep. DD is already demanding enough as is, so we'll see how she handles being a big sister.

With that said though... I am very jealous every time I check out the birth announcement post. I am quite done with carrying a bowling ball around that is constantly killing my back.

Knottie59802221 · February 2016

I answered this flippantly before... Now, at 39w4d, I change my answer to no. Just no.

cnunes214 · March 2016

Like a lot of you ladies, I will miss the movements! Other than that, I will absolutely NOT miss the heartburn, body pressure, the crappy nights of sleeping, and peeing 100000x a day!

amyid · March 2016

Does napping anywhere at anytime count ??
I think I will miss last second dashes to the store or being able to go out without too much preparation! I'm excited for my new family but I think I'm also going to miss having my husband alllll to myself, he keeps joking every time we eat out at nice places that it's the last time it happens !
This FTM is soooo ready to not be pregnant anymore !!

Synnovus · March 2016

Like a lot of pp I'll miss the baby movements. Other than that I don't think there's much I'll miss. I just wish I was 40w now and not only 36w! I'm so ready to be done with this pregnancy
