Do you miss being pregnant?

Question

I just recently had a baby and i am a 1st time mom but this might sound weird but i loved being pregnant and i miss being pregnant but i love my daughter to death.

Answer 1

Yeah I felt that way too after I had my daughter. So much so that I thought this next time around I will cherish every moment of it, and here I am at 22 weeks moaning about my discomfort and how I wish time would speed up so I can have the baby already hehe

Answer 2

OMG I totally miss it. I loved having her in my tummy all safe and sound and  she goes EVERYWHERE with you. I really feel cheated as my daughter was born 9 weeks early due to preeclampsia and then spent 3 weeks in the NICU. I LOVE having her here tho to snuggle with and kiss on. but I def miss feeling her in my tummy and having her kick and move, they are all yours then and you dont have to share them. Have I mentioned how much easier it is to take care of them when they are in your tummy lol.

Answer 3

lol sounds like me. i miss it the movements and the kicks. despite all the morning sickness i had gotten but i love having my daughter on the outside tho.... my bf thinks im crazy too i already asked him if we can try for a boy but were a long ways away frm another

Answer 4

Yeh a little bit in the first few days.

Answer 5

Not at all

Answer 6

Some of us just love it...I got pregnant with #2 just 8 months later...then #3...then #4...lol...I miss it so much, but I can't have anymore...otherwise, I would have #5 & #6 by now...

Just enjoy your little girl...they grow up so fast & one bad thing about having them back to back is that you miss some of it because you are so busy...

Congrats!!

Answer 7

Its perfectly normal to feel this way, after all you have had your bump for the last 9 months and you have felt every little flutter and movement. I felt really quite sad after I had my first, almost teary at times, and yes I also loved her to bits and was glad she was here safe and sound, but I missed my bump. Your hormones will be all over the place too and they can play havoc with your emotions.

Just to let you know, with my second it was completely different. I couldn't wait to give birth and the relief was immense!

You are not wierd or crazy, just a normal, healthy, tired and emotional new mum. Good luck with your little bundle, your feelings will eventually settle back down hun. X

Answer 8

Answer 9

h**l yeah this is my 2nd child, When i was pregnant with them , i was like i hate being preganet, then after i had my kids, i was like wow times goes fly and feeling of depressed of missing being pregnant. but same time i cant wait to see my kids grow up , it make me happy  

Answer 10

ohh i totally felt the same. i felt like something was missing from my body...

Answer 11

yes so much! I loved being pregnant, its so special havin bubs inside you.  I have a few pregy friends and I look at them and think I cant wait to have that again

Answer 12

I think that its completely normal. Especially the the first few days after I gave birth, I would find myself rubbing my bell and expecting to feel something in return.

My son is 16 months and there are so many prego girls around me and I still miss being pregnant, having my son all to myself (I know thats selfish, but true), and many other things.

But, for some reason we tend to forget the bad things and only remember the good things. Thats probably why women have more babies :)

Just think about morning sickness, being uncomfortable, not able get out of bed with out a few rocks back and forth, the constant feeling of fatigue, and the list goes on...

Normal feeling to have, as time goes on you will start to be thankful you're not pregnant.    

Answer 13

of course thats not weird... Your body was that way for 9 months, and its a pretty drastic change to have a child living in you one day and having your child in your arms the next!

it may just be a slight form of post-partum depression, which is not uncommon... don't be too worried about it

Congratulations on the new baby!!! :)

Answer 14

i felt the same way after i had my daughter,,post pardum hun

Answer 15

One thing I miss, is feeling my son move inside me . but other then that, I don't miss the embarrassing gas, backache, gaining weight part of being pregnant lol.
