I really love my bump and will miss it when my baby is here

[Heartburn888]

28 weeks and over the last 2 weeks I have really fallen in love with my bump. Love feeling my little boy moving about (he’s doing it now) and I’m going to be obvious so happy when he’s here but sad I won’t have a bump anymore and feel him wriggling about inside me!

I was finding my body changing hard but now feeling him move about daily and the movements getting stronger coz it’s so cramped in there really makes it worth it 🥰

I do live my bump and the feeling of movements. But i have to admit i don't think I'll miss it once she's born. I want to sleep comfortably. I'm 26 weeks and haven't slept a full night for ages. I here being on my side, o hate having to use pillows. And i hate not being able to move normally. I can't bend or going into bed without it feeling like a huge exercise.

But i do love my bump. Just wish i could take it off at night lol.

In in 10 weeks time you won't feel like that, believe me!

I love my bump as I know it’s keeping my little one safe and content but I am so ready to have him come into the world so I can lay on my back, see my feet when standing and being able to bend over comfortably and pick up anything I drop or that’s at low level haha

You will love it less when you’re 40 weeks pregnant...

In in 10 weeks time you won't feel like that, believe me!

I did! I have a 4 year old now and I’m still a bit sad about missing the bump.

I'm going to miss my bump too but it's become a nuisance at 37 weeks. The movements are less cute and endearing and more uncomfortable and frustrating. I can't get comfortable, don't sleep and am looking forward to being able to go back to being a mum to my dd (and this new one) and not feel like a hindrance to everyone.
Enjoy this moment while it lasts. Hopefully you'll love your bump right to the end but just in case you don't, revel in it's gloriousness for the time being.

I always miss my bump, im 32wks with this one ,i dont feel ready to give birth yet as its went too fast,i always go early x

Yeah I probably won’t feel like this in 10 week time haha I have bad back ache today but I think it’s down to the naff chairs at work!

I'm 37+5 and just about getting to the stage where I wish it was over! I've loved my bump but I can't get comfy and have not being able to walk for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. Also I'm looking forward to baby snuggles! If I could just skip the labour bit it would be perfect...

My tummy definitely felt ‘lonely’ after my daughters were born. I can’t say I missed the discomfort that came with the bump, but I did miss feeling them in there in general.

Funny, I had such strong attachments to my bump lady time, I missed it for months! I'd look at photos afterwards and reminisce. A LOT. The time I had a bump, how big it was, how small it was, how nice it felt to feel kicks, how lovely clothes looked over it (I was totally besotted with my ds by the way!)

This time, two years on, I'm just as excited about having a baby but I barely register the bump! I see it, I feel it, but I don't feel like it's anything special, I'd you know what I mean. Maybe I'm too impatient to meet the next one, now I know exactly what to expect, or maybe I'm just too knackered with a two year old, who also takes up my attention with his amazingness almost every day! But before this, I really thought that being pregnant again would be another chance to return to bump loving days, and it hasn't!

Not as shiny this time, so I guess what I'm saying it enjoy it all, every minute... and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy

Ps 28 weeks too... Hmm now I'm wondering if its because I don't know what I'm having this time. I just reread your post referring to your little boy, which I also knew about first time

I’m 36 weeks and I have loved my bump and loved being pregnant, but struggling now and looking forward to feeling more comfortable and mobile once baby is out. However I will still miss it, it’s been so a special time and I love feeling my baby move (even though it’s quite painful when it does lately!)

I guess this period will be short lived, you ladies who are further ahead than me describe the discomfort and I actually said to my partner this morning I’m struggling to get up off the sofa and he has started offering me his hand to help me up but I’m too proud to take it just yet 😂

I loved my bump when I wasn’t pregnant. Missed it so much and was envious of anyone that was pregnant for a little while. Which was totally ridiculous because I had my lovely baby.

It is a lovely feeling but I'm now 40 weeks and definitely ready to have a flat stomach again!

I'm 37 weeks and as much as I am desperate to have her out I'm definitely going to miss her in there! I love feeling all her little movements even if they do hurt like hell at the moment!

I had the opposite experience. Ds2 used to scrape what felt like his fingernails down the inside of my womb. He also used my bladder as a trampoline. He was constantly kicking me. I told the doctor and she said that I could have internal bruising. When I was heavily pregnant I couldn't bend over without vomiting. He caused me to swell up so much I am now a shoe and ring size bigger. My bone marrow didn't shrink back. I had sciatica and carpel tunnel in both wrists and had to wear splints. Dh wouldn't look at my bump because it moved like alien. He would lie horizontal then change to vertical, people would comment on my bump being a different shape. Good job he's a wonderful person, to make up for it!!

In in 10 weeks time you won't feel like that, believe me!

This for me too. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy though, no harm in enjoying your bump!

Thanks ladies xx
