to worry I will miss pregnancy?

[Yannia]

I'm 28 weeks pregnant and it has dawned on me that I only have around 12 weeks of pregnancy left, if all goes to plan...
I'm really concerned that I will miss being pregnant. The thought of not feeling little kicks, or going for scans, or reaching new pregnancy milestones, etc etc, terrifies me!

I know my personality well and am fairly sure I'm going to struggle mentally with not being pregnant anymore. I have an anxiety disorder which makes it all that bit worse and just can't get this awful thought out of my head.

Is this a normal thing to be worried about or am I being utterly ridiculous?

I hate to be one of those people but you'll still be up peeing 4 times a night as you'll need one every time the baby wakes for a feed

Haha, I know. And if you’re REALLY lucky you’ll get a two year old who also still can barely sleep an hour or two straight and feeds all night long still.

I miss being pregnant sometimes but then I think back to the last few weeks - living off gaviscon, not being able to walk anywhere without feeling like my pelvis is going to snap in two, awful back pain.

My 8 month old DD is currently laid next to me in bed kicking the crap out of me, so don't worry about missing the kicks. They still kick you, just from the outside

Wow I'm surprised by how many women miss being pregnant! I absolutely hated it, my son is 9 months now and I have never ever missed the bump or pregnancy. Throwing up nearly every day for the first half then horrendous pain for the second half, not to my mention my awful belly. I was huge and just felt so unattractive and miserable. I was actually worried I wouldn't love my baby because I hated the bump so much. One of the worst experiences of my life to be honest.

I can’t relate as I hated being pregnant. And I had pretty easy pregnancies to be honest!

But I think you’ll find yourself consumed by your new baby. All the milestones of that. Appointments to take them to. Photos. Watching them grow! It’s very different to being pregnant
