Really miss being pregnant?

lottie_2007 · Jan 22nd, 2010, 05:16 AM

I thought that after this baby and a trooublesome pregnancy that i would be done, no more babies! I have a beautiful daughter and son now! The birth hurt alot more this time round (probably due to no pain relief!) but i am really missing the whole pregnancy thing! How exciting each week is and feeling my bump move!
I am loving my new son and he is amazing but i just don't think i'm done just yet! Anyone else feel like this so soon after lo's arrival?
DH said he only wanted 2 children but i think he's coming round to the possibility that this might not be it for us and he seems ok with it!
Don't get me wrong i'm not thinking of anytime soon but in the next few years another would be wonderful!

I feel the same way, thought I hated my pregnancy and it would definitely be my last but now I miss it soooooooo much! With 5 children over a timespan of 18 years I shouldn't even be thinking of another but I AM!!!!! Not soon though so with my age and pcos it may not happen again anyways

I dont miss it

I love having the baby, he's soooo sweeeet & cute. I would like to have another one, I was thinking about it last night, but without getting pregnant again. I hated my pregnancy, it was so stressful..

Maybe this feeling would change, I dont knw..

But for now, I am happy with my LO & dont want to be pregnant anytime soon

A week ago I would have said no but I saw a pregnant lady who looked about 8 months gone in mothercare while oerdering a highchair for Ryan, she was about my height and build and had the same style hair as me and I just found myself wishing it was me again!

No idea why as I suffered with bad SIJ and back pain from about 18 weeks onwards so will be likely to have the same next time too! Also don't want another LO just yet not at least until I've had a month's worth of decent sleep. And a promotion at work.

My DH has had the snip now so we are done at 4 and I feel ok about that. I know I'll get broody and miss being pregnant when DD3 starts getting bigger but we had to draw the line somewhere. I got the baby itch bad after #1, #2 and #3 and ended up with close age gaps which I don't regret at all

I think some women will always feel broody... Me being one of them, lol.

I'm missing my bump and my pregnant shape, feeling her move inside me. I loved being pregnant (although parts of pregnancy were a bit of a pain!).
I love my daughter too, she's brilliant, but I am jealous of my newly pregnant friend who gets to go through all those fascinating changes...

I don't miss being pregnant at all, I was constantly worried something would go wrong and found the whole thing a bit of an inconvenience, but at the same time I think I would feel really sad if I thought this was my last baby if that makes sense? She is our first and I am looking forward to the next one, I always wanted three originally but I think I'll see how I feel once we have two!
