Home Does anyone else miss being pregnant?

[asscherisme]

Nope.

No way! I had a very easy pregnancy and labor (maybe 8 hours of labor, 25 min of pushing) and there is NO way I miss being pregnant. Of course, I had never planned to be pregnant, so maybe some of it is psychological, but I don''t miss the heavy belly, the constant kicks and movement, the never-ending need to use the bathroom, etc. Plus I already have one toddler and can''t imagine being pregnant with two kids.

I miss being pregnant sometimes and my son is almost 2. I was pregnant during this time of the year and the smells bring it all back. I was looking cute, my m/s was gone and I was still relatively comfortable. Sigh....

I also didn''t think that labor/delivery were that bad, even though I had all back labor and delivered nearly 4 weeks early. My son was healthy and it was such a joyus time welcoming him into the world.

I don''t know if we will have any more children, but if we do then I''m documenting my pregnancy much more than I did my first.

I had terrible morning sickness and I still miss being pregnant! I did have a fairly easy labor and delivery though so that factors in.

I enjoyed being pregnant a lot.

I hated being pregnant both times - I hate the weight gain (35 pounds gained both times) and the constant need to pee (getting up at least 3 times a night). I am normally pretty athletic and work out 5-6 days a week, but I have severe shortness of breath while pregnant, so I can''t exercise outside of slow walking. I totally miss feeling like I am strong and capable. Now my back just hurts all the time and I can''t breathe.

Full disclosure though - I am now 39 weeks pregnant, so I am VERY DONE with being pregnant right now ...

So interesting to hear everyone''s view on this!!!

Vespergirl, 39 weeks!!! So exciting!! No wonder why you are ready to be done!!! Do you know if you are having a boy or a girl?

On a sidenote, my son has officially started walking! Not just a couple steps and falling but literally walking all by himself in the house! We had a field day last night with the video camera! Well now that he''s walking, maybe I can convince my hubby to work on baby #2!

about a year and a half after my ds i started to miss being pregnant.
i had an easy pregnancy with him (not labor) and i expected my next pregnancy to be the same

. i felt cute and i felt really good.

with dd i had every symptom in the book and i felt gross---i guess puking like the exorcist doesn''t do much for ya. now that she''s 9 months i KNOW for sure i will be very happy watching my kids from the outside and not feel them from the inside.

i don''t miss the swollen ankles, sciatica, heartburn, peeing every 3 seconds, growing out of my clothes by the afternoon, oh and the extra 44 pounds on my rear end.

Hey Lizzyann! We are about to have our second boy (the first is 3 and a half). I have a feeling I''ll be so busy that it won''t take long to burn the baby weight off ...

Congrats on your son starting to walk - how exciting!!!

 

[lizzyann]

Hi Vesper, I am so excited for you! Two boys! So much fun! They love their mommies, don''t they? Are you on track to deliver in a week? Earlier? Later? I for some reason just knew I was going to deliver early and sure enough I did! One week early! Nice thing is that it led to my son being an April baby which = diamond birthstone!!!!

I got the baby fever when my DD was 3 months old!
But reality sets in and I know there is no way we could handle 2 kids in diapers, so decided to wait until DD is at least a year old.

I had a textbook pregnancy and delivery, so I enjoyed every minute of my pregnancy.

 

[lizzyann]

wow lili, baby fever at 3 months! That is great! I think at 3 months, I didn''t even have time to think about another baby!!! Now, it is on my mind all the time!!!! But am I ready?! That is the question. My son is now pretty independent and is much *easier* to entertain, which is nice!
