So maybe I'm weird....

[emdeecee_sierra]

but even though I'm still pg, I am already kinda missing being pg. Seeing a signature line of a mama due in spring sometime, I have a pang of envy. This is (most likely) my last pg. I've been trying to enjoy every second of it, even through the tougher parts, such as drive-me-insane back pain, etc. But I've also been planning and looking ahead to the non-pg me, and all the getting back into shape I'll be doing, etc. I just wonder how hard it is going to hit me after baby is born and reality really sets in that I'm done forever

I don't think that's wierd at all!!! There is something so amazing about being pregnant..i know i'm going to miss it afterwards....part of why i'm torn between wanting to try every natural induction method ever thought so that DH and i can bond with him or her before my mother gets here to stay for 2 weeks, or simply wanting to hold on to the experience and let the baby come when it wants to and just be completely au natural about it.
I've had a great pregnancy....and even now at 39+ weeks i'm feeling well able to cope for awhile longer.

I hope you can savour every moment.....makes you stop and ponder the wisdom of always having to rush things...counting down, not making the most of the moment. I know i'm guilty of it.

Nope, not weird at all. I remember how nice it was to be expecting in the spring .

I feel a lot like you do. This is our last baby too, and I wonder how I'll react when that finally sinks in. But I look forward to being done with the diaper stage, and to just enjoy my children. This pregnancy has been OK compared to the others, not quite as painful. So, yeah, I'll miss the excitement over a + test, that first kick, and the excitement of birth. But I've done it enough times, and they are the most amazing experiences I'll ever have .

Oh Im so sad, this is my last pregnacy too and Im due in June but just knowing that I will never get the chance to experience this again makes me enjoy it all the more. Although I was complaining this morning that I still have 28 to 31 weeks left to go, I should remeber that.

Good luck to you all...

I'll be missing it, too. It's funny that I was reminiscing about my second trimester already earlier today.

I wonder if I'll miss these last few weeks. I am a little on edge about the birth itself but haven't been able to express this with people IRL.

It's all worth it, though. That's what's eventually going to make me miss every moment (including these nerve-wracking last weeks).

I am having definite mixed feelings too.. for the same reasons Sierratahoe. This is my last baby

I so badly want to enjoy every moment of my last week of pregnancy and I am such a crabby, ungrateful person about it. I should be savoring every little squirm and kick. I am, in some ways, but in other ways I'm just dying to meet this little girl and stop being so huge. I'm fighting a constant battle with myself here

This is our first (and quite possibly ONLY) child, so I'm trying to savor each moment I have with my baby boy resting comfortably in my womb. I really enjoy being pregnant - even with the pressure, back pain, throbbing cervix, and carpal tunnel.

On the other hand, I can't wait to meet my baby and look into his eyes for the first time. It's such a bizarre mix of emotions. I know I'm going to miss being pregnant, but I want to hold my baby so badly!!

No weird at all.
This is my first pg, but I even get a pang of envy when I find out someone I know is newly PG. Every moment is magical, and while I love my moment, I miss the 'old' moments as well.

[Naughty Dingo]

I have been considering this as well. This will be the last for us barring any unplanned babies I am lucky in the sense that this time around it was much harder to get and stay pregnant and I am not sure I would be emotionally ready to go through this again so it has been easier to imagine this probably being the last. I am also excited to be running again. But, to think of not being able to feel the baby inside ever again................ I don't know.
