Missing being pregnant

[iamsuchatit]

Has anyone experienced this and how long will it last? I don’t know how to shake the feeling!

DD is 10 days old and she got discharged from midwife care today so I feel like I’ve been left to my own devices now.

I love her more than anything and she’s perfect. She is my first and although the pregnancy wasn’t the easiest, I’m really missing being pregnant! I miss being able to sleep, I miss the feeling of her kicks and now she’s here I don’t feel like I’ve got anything to look forward to. Plus
DH is back at work on Thursday.

I know this is probably just hormones (although I have always wanted another and with a small age gap) but how can I shake this feeling?

I had a third degree tear and episiotomy so sex is off the table at the moment anyway!

I felt a bit like this after DD was born. I was out abs about myself one day and felt really sad that I was alone for the first time in 9 months. Believe me - it passes!

What I wouldn't give for a few days alone now 😂

I was so in love. But I did feel... empty. It's a strange thing to get used to. congrats OP. I also had a third degree tear which was weirdly not as bad as I imagined! It's a strange game having a baby.
