Am I Wierd?!

[Poshers]

I want that moment back when you know when your baby is coming ...x

Do you mean the moment before you start pushing?

What? Like the day you found out your due date?

I've never felt that. I love being a parent - always have - but I bloody hated being pregnant.

No even tho labour terrified me both times . It's so exciting I also would love to have the moment I got a positive on a pregnancy test again. X

I think I meant that first contraction, at the time I was screaming blue murder but now looking back it was truly exciting

I would love that moment again when they are first placed in your arms. Meeting them for the very first time is so precious.

Then yes I was the same my waters broke before contractions so I wasn't in pain but it was so exciting. Rang my sisters while in Labour and they all said that's weird you sound so happy and excited, aren't you scared but I really wasn't.

Yes I do get what you mean! Being a mum is wonderful and I adore my dc's, but around the time of their births were landmark special moments. I wish I could have the moment of holding my freshly newborn(s) in my arms again! Even though I was vomiting with ds1 and had to pass him to dh quickly before I spewed on him. I guess we remember the rosy aspects!

Oh yes. I have one child and I want another, and this time I want it to go differently. I don't want to be in total shock and unable to bond with my child for several weeks this time. I was scared to even touch her as she was tiny. I want to be able to quit all the bad stuff BEFORE I get pregnant and not several weeks later when I find out I'm pregnant. I want to plan things properly and not hurry into hospital a month early because I didn't know that sex could trigger labour (!) and I want to get it all more or less right from the start instead of fumbling about, reading books, asking family and shouting at each other.

The biggest thing I'm looking forward to? Sticking at breastfeeding for more than two weeks. I've never really got over that.
