I miss being pregnant

[Miea]

Maybe saying this as I’ve been so lucky to have 2 very smooth pregnancies and births and 2 amazing babies who are happy and healthy ! So I understand not everyone may be fortunate enough to relate

my youngest is only 5mo, eldest is 2y8mo. It’s hard work and exhausting he has a speech delay too which adds. But they’re my world I wouldn’t change anything for a second amidst the chaos!

I wouldn’t have another so close or even the same age gap. I said if I had another it’d be when our youngest is off to school and DH agreed fully. (We’d try for another then)

but lately I don’t know I’ve just thought back to a year ago and my pregnancy and the excitement to meeting your baby, the scans and sadly this time round it feels like no one cares about my youngest - felt like they were more arsed when she was in the womb !

but I miss the feeling and it sounds awful, sometimes the attention! Unsure if it’s because I’m majorly on the back burner now but yeah did anyone else get this feeling ?

Your lucky to have 2 if you want another go for it.
But dont do it for the attention thats where you lost me on the post..
In our family if you have any more kids after having 2 already you get no attention its oh you pregnant again.

I get it. I miss being pregnant too. I have a 4 month old and she’s the most wonderful thing but there is something really special about pregnancy - the intensity of the bond of sharing your body. And the magic of the discovery of it all, the scans and seeing them form, the growing bump, all the anticipation. It’s such a special time. I don’t wish my daughter away at all but I do sometimes wish I was a marsupial and I could pop her back in a pouch sometimes!
