Sad about not being pregnant anymore.

[1stTimeMum7727]

Hi,
This may sound like a silly question but I am pregnant with my 1st baby and I was just wondering if anyone got really emotional towards the end, as much as I am so looking forward to the next part I find myself becoming upset about her not being inside me anymore, I am getting upset when I pack our hospital bags, get things ready ect, its almost like I don't want her too leave and i know that sounds so silly but I have this overwhelming feeling everyday of "oh my god, please don't come out yet, stay in there a little longer" is it normal, did anyone else feel like this. I feel horrible for feeling this way when I hear every one else saying how much they can't wait too meet their babies and I'm upset about her leaving

I was feeling the exact same as you a few weeks ago because I’ve had such an easy pregnancy so I’ve really enjoyed being pregnant but now I’ve got just over a week left I’m the opposite. The closer it’s getting to my due date I’m starting to get more and more paranoid about movements etc. so now I just really want him here so I can physically see he’s okay and stop driving myself mad!🙈

I get what you mean - I'm just trying to enjoy the rest of my pregnancy but I sometimes feel emotional about the pregnancy finishing. I've had a lovely pregnancy overall and feel so bonded to my baby.
I also can't wait to meet my baby!

I’m 30 weeks and I have only really started enjoying pregnancy since the movements started.

I’ve been getting very emotional about the fact that in a few weeks I won’t be feeling this anymore. I know I’ll have the actual baby, and I’m very excited, but I love feeling him in a way nobody else ever will.

So yes, I understand :)

Oh yes. I felt this when I was pregnant with DS. I cuddled my bump, hand my hand on it all the time. Even now that he’s 15mo I still miss the him being inside me thing and give my tummy a little rub sometimes.

Completely wanted dd to stay inside forever. I loved all the kicks and punches and bladder pressing.
When she came I was so happy she was there and I could cuddle her and stare at her but so badly missed being pregnant with her. Only just getting over the fact, but only because I can now feel her little sibling wriggling and kicking in there all most two years later!
I absolutely love being pregnant, hate it when it ends, but it's a new chapter!
Gotta get my head around the fact this is the last one and I'll never feel it again!😭

I know how you feel! I said many times that I could happily stay pregnant forever! I’m now 32w with no. 3 and am even more sad knowing this will be my last one!

I totally agree. It's such a privilege feeling these feelings inside. I couldn't help but think also of the moment when the umbilical cord is cut- like our physical connection will be separated. But the moment I held my baby all of that was forgotten. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and all the best for your new arrival!!!

yeah I feel the same! Lol I have been miserable my full pregnancy due to sickness and now I’m 34 weeks I’m not wanting the baby to leave my body lol! I love the bond we have and knowing that baby is safe and cosy in my belly is comforting, however can’t wait for that first cuddle, can’t stop watching one born every minute and breaking down when the baby goes straight onto mums chest for some skin to skin contact! I just know that will be the best moment off my life so far

I really missed being pregnant when DD was born and felt sad at my lack of bump. Now pregnant with DC 2 and not enjoying as much as I remembered but unfortunately this pregnancy has been harder.

In the early days when my DD was first born, I would get emotional that I was no longer pregnant. I loved week 16 onwards (raging morning sickness before that!)
Now, knowing that I'm never going to have another child and will never be pregnant again, I feel very sad and reminiscent. Although I'm glad I don't have to go through labour again!

I feel like this to some extent but as I have had previous miscarriages, the pregnancy has been fraught with anxiety and I will be pleased to not have to panic about movements every two minutes. I do know I will miss it for a while though, my baby blues after I had my DC were all to do with missing being pregnant and feeling movements and hiccups.

Yes totally. We had a nickname for bubs while I was pregnant (I'm sure everyone does!) and I knew once he/she was born we'd be calling them by their real name which of course was exciting but also made me sad that we were letting go of the nickname.

Sooo silly

Awww I can't tell you all how happy it makes me knowing I'm not alone. I was started to feel really terrible and a horrible person for feeling this way..
Thank you ladies

Nah man, you’re right smack in the middle of being normal.
Once DS was born I felt a bit sad, sad that I had to share him, that he wasn’t just mine anymore. Also a vey normal feeling

I gave three month old and really miss pregnancy! That’s why I still look on this pregnancy chat area even though I’m no longer pregnant. I had had enough of it by 40 weeks but I generally loved him being in me. It felt so special. He is super special born but I still miss the excitement of waiting. I was so surprised by how much I enjoyed pregnancy. I did gave a very easy pregnancy though.
