To already mums/ who just gave birth: Any regrets or true relief?

Hiya ladies,

It strikes me that the majority of pregnant women either complain or are at the very edge of going insane about the long wait in the final weeks of preg. Especially the discomfort it brings due to expanded size, aches etc. Me including (ftm,38.1wks).

Is it really true, now that your baby is born that you prefer this new phase over the previous weeks? Or did you underestimate the broken nights, recovery and whatever else comes with it?

Personally, i am so done with this preg and want to enjoy both the baby as much as the fact that he is out of me. However, i am afraid i am being ungrateful/ unrealistic of what is coming my way... Thanks for replying.

Thank you, dears!
I can't fathom missing this huge awkward and kicking shape of mine, but i do take your word on it as you've been thru it.

@renabean32... Thanks for the support. Best of luck to both of us. X

It is definitely easyer with baby in your belly because once baby comes out there is a lot of work. Don't be surprised if you lose it from time to time. With my first I was still living with my parents so it was not that hard but I still found myself crying because I was so tiered and had no clue what to do. Even with my second and third I was already an "experienced" mom and had those moments. But after it all starts to come together its definitely niceraand gunner to have your little one in your arms:) this is my fourth and can't wait to hold her

Ireida- I am 39 weeks and 3 days. I am with you I am over being pregnant I just want my little man to get here so I can hug, kiss, and snuggle him. I am anxious to start the new chapter in my life. However, when I express my thoughts many tell me I am going to miss him being in my belly. I understand both sides but I am ready to experience the joy of holding my son.

I found the first week my first was born really hard but that's because he had a few problems with feeding and I felt like an awful mum. I thought I loved him when he was inside me but I've never felt anything like the moment I held him and that love will get you frew anything. The thing is your both learning as you go. Don't be hard on yourself take help that's offard and don't try and be super mum x
