I miss being pregnant !!

My daughter is now 2 weeks old. She's also my third baby!

My first baby is a girl, I had the same feelings with her.

Second baby is a boy and I didn't get this with him.

I found myself feeling like this all over again with my new baby girl.

I remember the pains in labour and the struggles in pregnancy. However I still find myself getting very emotional over seeing pregnant ladies, my whole TikTok is full of babies, pregnancy related stuff.

Why does this happen! Seems like having girls trigger my hormones 😂

I'm due to get the implant next month (it's for 3 years) I may not have anymore children but I'd never say never. I'm so happy with my family bubble but I naturally feel very sad about the experience being over etc.

Can anyone else relate?

It's definitely your hormones

I can completely relate! My first baby (boy) is 4 months and I miss being pregnant all the time. Am ebf so trying to blame the hormones too 😄don’t get me wrong I absolutely adore him and so glad he’s here, but I really miss being pregnant! Wondering when that feeling will stop 🤣

Yes, I can relate! And I don’t think it’s just hormones - I genuinely enjoyed pregnancy and was saying so at the time (bar pre-eclampsia part at the very end). Baby is 4 months now and it’s lovely to have her on this side of the world, but I do miss those lovely kicks and hiccups from the inside 🥰

I loved being pregnant and miss it too. But I do think that is a bit rose tinted. I don’t miss the acid reflux and insomnia at the end. And I know some people have a horrendous time. But the feeling, the kicks, the bond and the bump I do miss.

I loved being pregnant with my two, but I honestly didn’t think about it, at all once they arrived. I have felt broody ever since, although that ship has now sailed!
