LOL Who Misses Being Pregnant?

Man I miss being pregnant! I miss the kicking... punching... elbowing... kneeing... LOL. I miss my big ol' belly too! I seriously can't wait to start trying for number 2. But that wont be for about 2 more years. I miss the uncomfortable-ness, I miss everything! I also miss the anticipation of labor. But, what I do know is that I love having my little girl here to look at and hold whenever I want! Does anyone else miss being pregnant?

I still miss being pregnant! I think we are going to wait until Jaylynn is 2 or 3 then try for baby #2. I can't wait... TTC was so exciting... yet disappointing. I think I was made to reproduce. LOL.

Yeah I'm getting an hour or so here and there so I don't feel rested at all. Plus he doesn't like the crib or bassenett at all so just to get some sleep I let him sleep with me but SO many people think that is so wrong.

I missed being pregnant up untill I got pregnant with this one. I had never had a problem with my others, and I have had several problems with this one. For me the best part of being pregnant is laying on the couch and watching my belly moving with the baby. My hubby used to laugh at me because our 6yr old was a moving case of the hickups when I was pregnant with her. I would get some funny looks from people because my tummy would bounce everytime she hickuped. I am almost sad that this will be my last but I think after 1 m/c and four heathy little girls I am done. I sure hope this one is a boy. I have enought girls.

I had my baby Sept 7 and I gotta say I don't miss being pregnant. I DO miss my sleep though ohh gosh do I ever. But the energy you feel not being pregnant is amazing. I like having my engery back.

The good thing about pregnancy was:

I was able to sleep for hours and hours on end.
Some of the kicking was cool.

But that's it.

It's sad but even with all the problems I had during my pregnancy (HORRIBLE morning sickness, leg pain, and IUGR, along with no fluid...) I'd still do it over again and I miss it.

I am so glad to see that I am not the only one who actually likes pregnancy.  I used to say that when I was preggers. Anytime I did complain of an ache or pain or being tired my hubby would always say, "I thought that you liked being pregnant?"  Needless to say, that is not something you want to say to a pregnant woman.  I miss it already.

Lol when I was pregnant I swore I would never miss it. But sometimes I do. Its not like I wanna get pregnant again or that I don't like Aspen out here in the real world. But when you look back it is such a special experience. I think I would do it for like a day (to feel that love for the unknown) and then I would be good.

lol this topic is so funny.. I think after awhile I will miss it, but then I will think back (like most of you) and be like.. "NOPE.. dont miss it. lol"

Also, Now that Im almost 35 weeks and huge, I sit and look at all my pictures on facebook of me before I got pregnant and when I was tan and skinny and I just want to cry.. lol PLUS I was always having fun and now all I ever do is work, eat, and sleep. lol I cant wait for him to come out so I can go tanning again and actually go out once and awhile (not saying its going to happen much, but I really miss going out and socializing and being skinny and not having everyone look at me like "what the hell is she doing here?" lol)

Ah god I can't STAND being pregnant!
I dunno what it is-
My mother's best friend is 3 weeks behind me or something like that, and she always compares us because she LOOOOVES being pregnant, and I can't hardly stand it.

First it was the morning sickness.
Then people are like, "Oh you'll feel better once you feel your baby move."
And all it did was freak me out for the longest time- I dunno why.
Then I got used to that and I guess enjoyed it till she went through a phaze where she wouldn't stay still, and I'd end up getting the hick ups because of her all the time everyday.
And then I started getting too big, and I can't sleep comfortably.

Now I can't breathe, or hardly sleep at all.
I hate it.
She's dropped, but that hasn't given me ANY relief from being smooshed like everyone says was supposed to happen.
Also the morning sickness has returned.

Now when she moves, it hurts.
She's constantly kicking my ribs.
God I can't wait for her to come out!
I find myself sitting here praying to go into labor sometimes because I can't hang no more with this pregnancy.

I told hubby that I dread having to get pregnant again.
But he wants a boy.
If we get another girl he's S.O.L. cuz I ain't doing it a 3rd time.
No no no.

I guess I'm one of the few percentages of women that don't enjoy being pregnant.
I'm hoping my next pregnancy goes alot smoother so I can actually try to enjoy it.
But that ain't gunna be for 4 er so more years cuz I'm going to college next fall and I'm getting on that birth control that they implant in your uterus that lasts for 5 years.
I'm only fixin to be 19, I've got all the time in the world to make another baby, so I'm not rushing it.

Man I miss it too. Even though I had pre-eclampsia, I miss it dearly! I was one of the lucky one's that didn't have ANY pregnancy symptoms until I felt my little girl move. Honestly, if I get morning sickness with my next one, it wont bother me one bit! I LOVE BEING PREGO!

I wonder if surrogates love being pregnant? Or if they do it just for the money?

Im still pregnant....but I know I wont miss it lol. This is my last baby, and in a way im sad but in a way im so happy. Im ready to feel the pain of labor. Im ready to hold my baby and continue with the sleepless nights. Im so very ready to have my body back and be able to go grocery shopping without the fear of A) Peeing on myself and B) my water breaking lol.

It will be bitter sweet, but im so tired of the RLS, peeing every hour, tossing and turning, being over heated, not fitting in the shower lol, and most of all, I can't wait to see my feet!

I will be 37 weeks on Tuesday! Im almost done!

I miss it tOo, every single thing I didn't have morning sickness and I would love to the next time around,  and I would love to go into labor on my own I want that spontanaity(sp?)
