Am I the only one left enjoying pregnancy?

[Pumpkin_Blythe]

I hear it on every mommy board I talk on..

'I am so tired of being pregnant'

I assure you I felt the same way with my last 2 but this time around I have had a very easy pregnancy and I feel like I am so much smaller than with my last two. I am not having problems getting out of bed like before. I have not had any of the leg cramps or MAJOR back aches (I had a 3 out of 10 pain one yesterday)

I feel like my son and I are very in sync with each other. I will be sad when he comes out.

I know holding him in my arms will be wonderful, and we will have SO much more to share when he is here, but for now I am enjoying the time he is in me and I am not at all ready for him to make his appearance!

While I am not quite where you are on the enjoyment scale, I am liking the last few days of this pg.

Ellen's head is so far down in my pelvis it is pretty uncomfortable to walk - which, of course, is just what I should be doing - but other than that, I am pretty happy with things as they are. I am treasuring the last few days of having this hard-won precious little one all to myself, and treasuring what may well be the last time I feel a baby move inside my womb.

That said, I am also very ready to meet this precious babe! I feel like I have been communicating with her spirit for years - literally since Sofie was an infant and she made herself known to me (oddly, Pumpkin, at the time I thought she was a boy named Elliot! Ha!), and I can't wait to see how she manifests in bodily form. So, while I will not be sad when she comes out, it will be bittersweet.

I feel the same way. This pregnancy hasn't been my easiest (for the first25 or so weeks) but the end has been great. My back hasn't been as sore and I'm not have the sciatic (sp?) pain like with the first 2. Getting in and out of bed isn't so easy though since we got a new bed (but sooo worth it lol). I'm not saying it's been free of discomforts (the heat here has been killing me, though thankfully it's cooling off finally) and I do get short of breath, can't walk as long, etc. but I'm still loving it. I love my big fat tummy, I love feeling her squirm, I love the feeling of being so completely connected to her. also, this is likely to be our last one, so I'm not in such a hurry to have it end yet.

I am enjoying it. I am definitely getting slower now and I think he's dropped a bit so I can't move around as much as I would like to. But my pregnancies are always pretty easy and I am never one to watch for labor signs starting at 36 wks, lol.
I do think I will get frustrated at 41 wks + but I'm 38 wks on Monday and am happy to stay pregnant a while longer.

I didn't want my pregnancy with my first, my daughter, to end. I really loved every minute of being pregnant with her. She was such an easy pregnancy.

This one is a different story altogether. I had partial placenta previa that sent me to the ER at 15 weeks bleeding profusely. Spent a lot of time on restricted activity/bedrest for that. Plus, I was "diagnosed" (I think misdiagnosed because the doctors here like to micro-manage) with gestational diabetes at 18 weeks. I've been doing finger pricks everyday since, and that right there want me to just want it over. That, and the sooner I have him the sooner I don't have to deal with the intrusive people at the OB/GYN clinic I have to go to.

So, it's not so much that I don't enjoy having my little boy inside me still, it's all the crap I have to put up with having him there that makes me ready for this pregnancy to be over.

Sorry for the rant...

i am loving the end of my pregnancy. physically i am fairly uncomfortable babies head down low and stuff like that have made moving not all that great but no pain or anything. i think my baby might be born today but i am really enjoying the end of pregnancy.
i think the reason i am enjoying it is that i had so much nausea and so many issues with smell and i still have the issues with smell and nausea but i am so used to them now that i am not bothered so much and since seeing the chiropractor regularly i am in less physical pain than i was in before i got pregnant. he fixed an old shoulder injury and stuff and so even with the discomfort i feel physically better than i have in years.
also i love the excitement and anticipation i love not knowing when my baby will be here and i love dancing around the house and singing to this baby and reading books to the baby. i do think baby may come today though the contractions i have been having for a long time now have started getting kind of extreme and making me act a bit strangely and cause me to shiver and get cold suddenly and stuff. if baby does not come soon and these contraction things continue to increase in intensity soon i will feel very ready for baby to come out.

People keep asking me how I feel, and when I tell them "I feel GREAT!" they're all astonished. I'm only 37 weeks, and I'm really enjoying this last bit of pregnancy. Yeah, I'm huge, I can't reach my feet, rolling over in bed is a challenge, and the heartburn can suck it, but I still feel pretty good.

[Wildecat]

I too am really enjoying the last month of pregnancy. I still am active and eating very healthy and feel great. I have times at night when I am uncomfortable but it is worth it to know that my little girl stays in until she is ready.
I also am starting to feel a certain sense of calm these last couple of weeks because I am accepting that this is really going to happen- she is coming out and I will have a daughter!
I love the the last month of pregnancy and believe that it is important to really connect with your baby and your own emotions during this time and not just "want the baby out."
Happy that there are other people who feel the same way as I do

I can't say I am feeling wonderful, but I am definitely not screaming GET THIS BABY OUT. This has been a tough PG for me, but it has really gotten much better towards the end here. I am cherishing these last days with him inside me, and having time for DS!

I am glad so many of you are feeling good. It makes me feel a little better to know that for some reason!

[dfunk98]

I'm feeling really good right now. I enjoyed every bit of this pregnancy as I did with dd. I am a little sad that it's coming to an end...I love having a nice round belly!! Plus, this might be my last one, so that, too, makes me a little sad. But feeling great otherwise!!

[Jenlaana]

I hate it... hate hate hate. I'm beyond ready for this baby to be born.

But last time, I was fine with her being as late as she wanted, truly. I could have happily been pregnant 44+ wks and not bat an eye lash. I loved it, loved the attention, the feel of my pregnant body, the glow, etc.

[Madeleine'smom]

I wouldn't say I'm loving it, but I am enjoying some things about it. For example, DH and I are planning for this to be our last pregnancy, so I am trying to focus on enjoying the baby's movements and having a spiritual connection to him or her. I'm trying to not focus so much on how uncomfortable I am and that there is so much pressure in my pelvis that I can hardly walk or that I had a bloody nose this morning and sneezed so quickly I couldn't cover my face in time, giving my bathroom the appearance of a crime scene.

I'm trying to enjoy it. Love feeling him move. But being that I have to have dh cut my food up for me and open my water bottles etc. I'm ready to have the feeling back in my hand.
