I miss being pregnant!

This is a bit crazy, but I feel sad thinking about how I'm not pregnant any more. I'm beyond happy and full of thanks to have a beautiful, healthy three week old boy...but I miss everything about pregnancy. The bump, feeling him moving inside, laughing with husband about changing shape and my inability to walk fast without getting breathless, the excitement of what's to come, feeling a bit special. Did I mention the bump? I had just the best pregnancy from day 1, I carried it well and frankly, I want to do it all again. I'm aware of course it could be very different the next time around!

I personally think it's hard because you spend 4-5 months getting acquainted with a bump, but when it goes it does so overnight. So the adjustment is a bit more difficult. But I'm also a very nostalgic person, I miss a lot of things that have been and gone.

Now, I'm just off to cuddle my wonderful boy and live in the present moment.

But ladies, if you're not having a terrible pregnancy.... Enjoy every moment Smile

Yes! My little girl is 3 months now and I kind of miss it too. I would have made a new baby straight away despite the ventouse delivery after 20 minutes in an ambulance and the first 4 months of my pregnancy a write off with debilitating sickness.

Can't wait until February...

It's interesting to see everyone's viewpoints. In answer to a question earlier in the thread, I would absolutely love another if possible- I think siblings are a great thing. Though the recent birth is still a little too fresh in my mind to think that far ahead (too fast and furious to give time for pain relief. Intense and frankly terrifying!)
