Just for fun...did anybody love being pregnant & miss it?!

[LittleBeth53]

Don't get me wrong, I love my son more than anything, but when I see the pictures from my pregnancy I feel a pang of sadness. Lol!

Since my little angel arrived, I seem to have become quite invisible.

Being looked after, pampered, wearing lovely tight tops I could never get away with now as back then I was what I like to call "fat for a reason," the glow. Sigh!

Am I the only one?

:)

I had a shocking pregnancy, nobody looked after me, I couldn't wear tight tops (middle east) and quite frankly I couldn't wait until she was out.
I would/won't ever be pregnant again.

With my first i did miss it.

with my second i was glad to get it over with.

In general all ii miss is the fact that i didn't have to breath in all the time

Good god no.

It was a means to an end.

I hated it, I was vomiting until the end. Thank goodness I had twins, I'll be thinking long and hard before having any more

I loved being pregnant and, had I had time to, would have missed it!

i have only 3 more days to be pg and much as i will be glad to have the baby and be more comfortable etc,i know its def the last and do have a tinge of sadness yes.
I also felt fed up when i woke up this am and said to dh "we will not have a lie in for yrs now!"

After the first one was over, I really missed it and talked fondly and enthusiastically about next time.

Now I am pg again I am hating every minute and will prob stop at two, even though I was keen to have three. How easy it is to forget.

Still, I'm hoping that means I will also look upon this pg fondly in time.

I loved being pregnant! I felt really healthy all the way through, my hair was lush, pregnancy hormones made me feel all calm and lovely... I even enjoyed giving birth

Newborn baby stage I DID NOT enjoy!!

Parts of it I really loved, and I've never felt more confident in my body shape as in the middle bits of both my pregnancies.

I do envy friends bumps, but not for me right now. :)

I loved it. I did not have particularly straightforward pregnancies, but it never failed to amaze me and I loved the sense of expectation and planning.

I was often anxious, tired, sore, sick, uncomfortable, frightened...but still

Shame there probably won't be any more!

PassionKiss that's how I felt!

I guess because my pregnancy was unplanned I didn't see it as a means to end, I just found myself pregnant one day & then had the healthiest, the most beautiful I've ever felt & the most restful 9 months of my life so far.

Sorry for the ladies who had uncomfortable pregnancies. All that matters is what comes out of it in the end hey?!

I just wondered if I was the only one. Lol! x

Second trimester was ace!

Great hair, great skin and the hormones had the effect of really chilling me out. And I loved my bump, feeling the baby move etc.

By the third trimester, the constant need for a pee, the increasing difficulties of putting on shoes, shaving legs, cutting toe-nails plus the blinking pregnancy-related nasal congestion were getting on my wick.

Overall, I enjoyed the experience.

I loved it first time round. Ten years later with a spine to spine baby was a whole different story.

Miss having an excuse for the size of my muffin top though

I LOVED being pregnant. I loved the thinking how the baby would be, planning, feeling it move. I had a really easy pregnancy though and was working in a very physical job until 2 weeks before I gave birth. The day I went into labour I walked the dog 6 miles in the glorious sunshine and had a lunchtime half pint in the pub . DS is 6 months and I love him to bits but I still miss by bump and occasionally find myself rubbing it absentmindedly!

I had an easy pregnancy, no sickness, no stretch marks and apart from sore feet and a touch of sciatica felt really well.
I enjoyed it and loved my bump.
Didn't enjoy giving birth quite so much though!

I was on bedrest for most of it and I do miss reading great books, my DH bringing me the choicest morsels of food he could find in the best deli in town, sleeping whenever I wanted, etc.

I don;t miss the nausea or trying to shift the bump around in the night.

Like other posters, I loved the first but now can't wait for the second to be over! I was very healthy for the first, pampered myself constantly and felt every inch the powerful fertility goddess. This time round have had awful morning sickness, picked up every bug going and am exhausted from running around after ds1. Meh.

I have kept pregnancy diaries throughout and no doubt when reading them in the future I'll be reminded the first wasn't all wonderful and the second not all bad...not sure I want another one though!

Didn't love it... don't miss it... am dreading the next time around (if we're lucky enough to conceive that is)!

i actually had quite difficult pregnancies with my 1st two but still i did miss it each time, which is possibly why my dc are quite close together. but this time although having a much easier time of it, im thinking i may try to take more of a break for a bit as i sometimes feel like ive been nearly constantly pregnant for the last 3 and a bit yrs so the novelty is beginning to wear off now!
but even though sickness and all the difficulties you can get, there is something special about pregnancy

I adored being pregnant both times round. The only drawback was having to give birth at the end of it! #1 child was 3 weeks overdue and I would have happily kept her in there forever.

I loved having a taut, swollen stomach and enjoyed the posture it forced me to walk in. I would admire my new shape in shop windows as I walked past. I loved the fact that my babies were safe and warm inside me. Looking after them on the outside is so much harder.

But I recognise that I was lucky. No sickness, no spd, no discomfort, no varicose veins, no constipation. I was able to be run for buses and go for bike rides right up until the end.

Me too, I had a lovely active pregnancy, on my due date I was told I was likely to be overdue, so me and my baby's father drove to Blackpool & walked up & down the beach front all day eating fish & chips, walked down both piers, we must have walked miles.

I put on no baby weight, just this lovely bump that in my opinion, made me look beautiful.

Now that it's gone I just feel frumpy & dull, nothing I wear feels comfortable, I feel self conscious all the time, the lot. Sigh!

I hated it, feeling like beached whale, feeling sore, being sick, I hated it. Never again!

Only from week 12/14 to around 30 weeks. That inbetween stage, especially around 16-25 weeks is lovely.
Im all a glow, lush shiny hair, calm, serine and generally a joy to be with .

The early months im a puking, knackered, fat angry bitch and after 30 weeks im hobling with dodgy hips, knackered, pissing like a race horse and an even bigger angry fat bitch.

I enjoyed it both times. First pregnancy was easy and uneventful, second was a little more difficult (on crutches for the last few months with SPD) but I'm sad to think I'll never have that feeling of a new life growing inside me again.
