How come..

when I think back to being pregnant it doesnt seem like it was *that* bad? That last week was almost torture, i felt so crappy, and now that I think about it, it didnt seem so bad afterall.....

I cant believe I already forgot what it felt like to be pregnant. and now I start feeling sad that its over, that unless plans change, I wont be pregnant ever again.
We really do have enough kids. 5 is plenty.. dontcha think? But its just the thought that I will never experience those things again... I even tried to pay really close attention this pregnancy so I dont forget.
I had an amazing labor and birth, I got awesome pictures of it. By the way if anyone wants to see them(graphic) let me know, and I'll upload them and post the link.
I suppose a perfect ending to my childbearing days. But it still makes me sad.

Hmmm...I'm kind of seeing things differently from you, lol! Even though my pg wasn't that bad and I had a super easy birth and recovery, I don't miss being pg at all. I feel like my body snapped back much faster this time so I just enjoy feeling normal and being able to take long walks again. Like you, I think this was my last pg so I tried to pay attention to everything. My dd has already outgrown 2 of her 0-3 month size outfits and I'm finding that harder to deal with than anything else right now.

Same here Angie!! I never got too miserable with this pregnancy, but I was ready for it to be over. But, I've had such problems with pregnancy (lots of miscarraiges and then bleeding issues at the beginning) that I don't know if I can do it again and that makes me sad. I want Meg to stay little!! Luckily she's doing that pretty well - she's staying small while still growing okay. She's not fat like my others were! But, I do miss being pregnant!! Weird, I know.

Same here! Definitely doesn't seem so miserable now that I'm not living through it anymore, LOL.

During late labor I told my DH, "I am NEVER doing this again! I don't care what I say in the future, remind me how sure I was that I was never going to do this again!!"

I only planned to have 2 kids...but now that number 2 has arrived I feel uncertain that I can commit to being "done." Do I honestly want to draw that line and never experience this again? I'll have to see how I feel in the future. Really I'd just love to relive that first week with a newborn over and over. It's so magical!

I am done done. Had my tubes tied when I had my c-section but as much as I whined and complained the last month of being pregnant I do miss it terribly!! I do have to many health concerns if I were to have another baby so I know it was right to have my tubes tied but I still miss the fact that I will never have another baby grow inside me! I am trying to hold onto everything my little newborn is doing because I want her to stay little and I want to remember everything since she is the last one!
