so there are not 1, but 3 preggos at work. They are all due at the same time! (April)

I''m having really strange feelings about it all. 1st of all, I LOVED being pregnant and already
have 2 beautiful children.

SO.. why am I depressed over the fact that I''m not pregnant?
Hormonal stuff? I have major withdrawls from being pregnant.
I''m totally happy that I delivered and that I have a cute little 4 month old...
i don''t think it''s postpartum. But maybe it is..
I think I''m addicted to being pregnant!

Anyone else have this ''issue''
 
Not at all. I''m all done - done with the all day sickness, aches & pains, insomnia, tiredness, weird cravings, not fitting into my clothes, never feeling comfortable doing anything whether sitting or sleeping, can''t exercise hard as I normally do, etc.
 
haha!!! i kinda get that way too when i hear that some of my friends are preggo. i LOVED being preggo also, well up until the 9th month or so. i had an easy pregnancy and L&D, and i would LOVE to do it all again. i only have 1 boy right now, but he is a hand full. but someday, in the near future hopefully, i will be preggo again.
now i just gotta convince DH that WE are ready. i *think* i am ready, but i doubt he is.
 
No way! No more babies for me. Pregnancy is too much work, I hated the lack of energy and not being able to drink anything but water.

Three kids would also be A LOT of work, plus expensive to put through college, or even kept feed and nicely dressed. Two is enough for me.
 
I go through this from time to time, but I did not love being pregnant. What I miss is the bay/toddler stuff, but I have come to realize that they all grow up, and I don''t think I am looking for another child. I just miss *my* babies.
 
Huh? HUH? Aiyeeeee, NO, not me!

Hehehe. Some women love being pregnant. It''s a special thing to have that baby baking in there and it can be sad if you know you will probably never go through it again.

Go out and get drunk to ensure a serious hangover. Then ask yourself if you want to experience that nasty feeling every day for weeks again. Nuh uh, not me. No how. No way.

Did I mention, no thanks, not for me? Just wanted to make sure.

I think it is great that you loved being pregnant. I wish I did!
 
Please, please, please will you baby-sit my badly behaved foetus for a month or so.

This child is sooooooooooooooooo going to be an only child. I have never felt so ghastly as I have the last 2 weeks in my whole life - and that includes a month in hospital with pleurisy and a year with liver failure.

Even worse, I have to move house tomorrow and all I want to do is crawl into bed and sleep all day.

Oh, did I mention I'm only 8wks 2days - I am so up for letting someone else be pg for me!
 
I am the opposite. I see a preggo and think...TG that is not ME! It makes me flinch with memories. But I hated being preggo...hated L&D...REALLY hated recovery. Not to say I won''t have another one day but I am in NO rush!
 
Awww momma bear. I see preggos and think *awwww*. I enjoyed being preggo the 1st time, some of the 2nd time, but I had great pregancies & deliveries, and while I am sad that I will never experience it again, I am also glad to have my body back to me. To run hard, kickbox, sweat up a storm, have a glass of wine or two, some soft fabulous cheese, and some eat some sushi with.

But I''d gladly do it all over again to get my 2 munchkins and I really enjoyed bringing them into this world. Even the feeling crappy parts.
 
LOL
i''m alone on this one
both pregnancies were great and L&D was great.
Lucky me I guess :)

i guess it''s like diver and someone else said..
maybe it''s hitting me hard that this is it for me.
I''m no longer going to create any more lives..
Hmm.
Thanks for the thoughts. Definitely helped me process this
strange feeling.
 
Your thoughts are totally normal. Being pregnant is special and you feel special, like you are doing something extraordinary.
 
The pregnancy is special, everyone''s congratulating you, the husband is just that little bit more attentive and all the hard work lies ahead - years down the track...
the early months post-birth can be a bit of a comedown after the pregnancy. There''s a big increase in workload for mum, dad''s exhausted as well and starting to worry about the money...
there''s a readjustment for everybody else including extended family and siblings, and it''s hard to find time to shower... I loved being pregnant too...it''s the promise of happiness, without the mess!
 
HI:

Pregnancy was very easy and I enjoyed it. But that is a self limiting feeling for sure!

cheers--Sharon
 
momma bear~I can totally relate! I am almost jealous of pregnant woman. I was lucky and had a pretty easy pregnancy (minus the fact that I had day long morning sickness until 15 weeks, but somehow I forget that) and a relatively easy delivery. It''s weird that I feel this way at times and I cannot rationalize it, since I fully intend to do it all over again at least a couple more times. Anyway, just wanted to say you''re not alone!

I loved being pregnant, aside from the extreme tiredness and m/s in the first trimester, PTL, bed rest, and feeling super uncomfortable the last few weeks (and I was early too so I can''t imagine going a full 40 weeks). It''s an amazing feeling creating life inside you and I do miss the baby movements. My L&D was no piece of cake but I''d do it all over again in a heartbeat (totally worth it!), just not anytime soon!
 
I did NOT enjoy being pregnant--but i did enjoy the anticipation of the child and the excitement that time brings.

Maybe you miss the attention? Pregnant women get so much nice (and some not so nice) attention. Personally, i get very shy when i feel like ppl are examining me. I only felt cute for maybe the 5th ad 6th month and then i avoided mirrors and pictures- but when i see other pregnant women i think they look beautiful and it makes me feel like i didn''t cherish it enough. I am hoping for #2 i''ll appreciate it a bit more
 
I have 4 kids. So you would think I loved being pregnant right? I had more than one person tell me by my fourth how much I must love being pregnat.

Truth is, I did not like being pregnat. First one, newness and novelty. By the second, it was very old. By the third and fourth kids, I was miserable being pregnant!! In fact iI spent a TON of time crying during my 4th pregnancy because I was so miserable, uncomfortable and had 3 kids to chase after. Plus my 3rd and 4th kids are only a year apart so I had a vey young baby, 3 year old, and 6 year old to care for during my 4th pregancy.


I love love love being a mom, but I hated being pregnant.

Although, I will say that even though I did not like being pregnant, I knew my family was not done when I would see a pregnant woman and get a longing for a new baby. Now I see pregnant women and thing "better her than me". :) I guess that means my family is for sure done LOL.

haha! Yeah, those twinges MommaBear is having are probably the sign that she''s got another baby up her sleeve. I never felt ''over'' it either... but this third will be the last for me. I am TOTALLY enjoying this pregnancy, making the most of it as I''m sure it''s my last!
Pregnancy number two was kinda exhausting and difficult, because of the young age of my first daughter, and not nearly as glam as preggo number one! It was a bit of a suprise, and a comedown, after my fabbo first pregnancy.
I made sure baby number two was just that leetle bit older before I got knocked up this time!
 
Well I was fine till I saw Snlee''s av! I love little baby feet!! I wish I could have another baby but that is impossible now.
 
I understand what you are going through Momma bear. I swear when I was weaning each of my kids I went into baby withdrawal, wanting to be pregnant, just yearned for it. And it''s not that each preganancy was without discomfort. I honestly think it must be something hormonal. I waited way past until those feelings subsided before I had my second one, so I wasn''t making my decision during the haze of hormones.
After having my second I think I have gotten it out of my system! Just don''t have the energy for it.
 
What I mean is energy to raise another kid
