So today I was in the store w/ Elijah for the 1st time and I happened to see a pg girl. Suddenly, I missed being pg. The attachment of knowing you have life inside you. I felt a little sad that I don't have that anymore but of course I'm so happy to have my beautiful happy peace child earthside now.<br><br>
Anyone else miss being pg? It's weird cuz after I had Marley and I would see someone pg I would think to myself, "Glad that's not me!" But this time I'm like, "Aww, I miss that!" Do you think that having a 2nd child has anything to do with those feelings?<br><br>
I also almost cried the 1st time I drove my car after having Elijah. Because I wasn't pg anymore and the last time I was in the car, I was pg. It felt really strange.<br><br>
I miss "the belly"

 

[grace's voice]

Well, I deffinately do not miss being pg! I'm still in that "ahhhhhh, relief at last!" stage. I don't like being pg. Its like a torture chamber of flesh.<br><br>
However, Behn is 2 weeks old today and he's gotten so big! I was just telling dh how I want to have another one because he's not a tiny baby anymore.<br><br>
If I'd have heard myself say this 2 weeks ago I'd have given myself a good smack and gotten my tubes tied. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/lol.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="lol"> But seriously, babies are soooo precious and looking at my little guy just makes me want to do it all over again. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/loveeyes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Loveeyes">: Not right away of course, 2 years sounds good, but I do know I want to do it again. Appearently I wasn't adequately traumatized by the whole experience!

ha ha, i don't think i really miss being pg per say but in some ways i miss the anticipation of birth. my sil just found out she's pg and i'm a tiny bit jealous of the excitement of it... but not really of being physically pg. i was so excited about vbacing... but then it didn't work. so i miss that "before" feeling.<br><br>
i do think i want to do it again though. even with 2 under 2!!

I did not miss being pregnant at all until the last couple days. I missed having this little girl to myself is the biggest part of it. We've had visitors or went to visit every day since her birth 9 days ago. Today is her and my first day together alone. I'm really enjoying it!

i'm not sure about having more than this one so i am getting kind of nostalgic thinking that i may never have those experiences again...i felt so good and so beautiful and healthy between about 20-36 weeks...now i look deflated and feel weak and tired. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/greensad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="greensad"> but, i have my girl!

 

[coco4cloth]

this time around I do. I think it had to do with the fact that I had an awesome doctor who was very hands off (which I love) My body was allowed to do what it needed to do. Having a homebirth too made it much easier for me to have these feelings. Things just went so well. So, EcoMama looks like we are the crazy ones<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/lol.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="lol">

 

[The4OfUs]

Nope, not at all. I breezed through my first preggo with DS, but this time around with DD, it was a lot tougher on me mentally, emotionally, and physically. So I don't miss it one bit. Plus, I'm SO glad she's here now!<br><br>
I can't imagine being a couple years older than I am right now (we'd wait a few years), and it being more taxing than it was this time around...so I think we might be done with the two we have...<br><br>
So yep, EcoMama7 and coco4cloth, you two are nuts! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/lol.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="lol"><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/winky.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/duck.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Duck">:

Miss being pg?<br><br><br>
no<br><br><br>

[fireant]

I totally miss being pregnant. I loved it (at least I think I did). My DH doesn't seem to remember it that way though.<br><br>
I also am probably not having any more and I loved the feel of Marlow jumping around and kicking me (which I guess she does now too).<br><br>
I would love to be pregnant again!

 

[MidwifeErika]

I don't miss the discomforts of being pregnant or the worry as the days kept going and going and going and baby wasn't coming out. However, I do feel sort of lonely in this big body all by myself. I am soooo enjoying having her in my arms, but do miss her in my belly too.

 

[sehbub]

Miss being pg?<br><br>
NOPE! Didn't have time to adjust to NOT being pregnant before finding out we're pg again! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/lol.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="lol"><br><br>
Seriously though, this time I hope I GET a belly. Last time I delivered too soon to really get all big and pregnant. And at least this time I'm not due in the summer. February is much more do-able for me, weather-wise. I HATE heat!

 

[hlivengo]

I miss the baby moving around in there the most! He is so strong that he bruised me 5 times from the inside out, though. THAT I don't miss!<br><br>
Heather, enjoying life with dh, the first 9, and #10 born 6/19/06!

 

[*guest]

heh, the only thing that gets me through some days is thinking "well, at least i'm not still pregnant!" although i get the feeling the baby would be happier some days if i could just tuck her back in for a few hours. she feels the sling is a poor substitute.

 

[Caroline248]

Uh..in a word..<br><br>
NO!!!!!!!<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/winky.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"><br><br>
That was the last one for me, and I am pretty comfortable with it. Although, it is really the delivery I wouldn't EVER want to do again!!<br><br>

[chiromama]

i think i miss some of it. I miss the big belly, it was fun to play with.. and I loved the feeling of her inside. The big thing i miss about being pregnant (besides the fact that when I was pregnant i hadn't had a c-section) is that she was safe and I couldn't mess up. Out here... I just can make too many mistakes!
