I'm Currently Feeling: | Grieving for my bump Hello ladies,
Its been 9 days since I gave birth to the most precious little girl and I am so lucky and thankful to have her .... but.... I miss being pregnant. I am over the moon that she's here and I can see her and touch her and comfort her etc. However I miss feeling her inside me, I miss the countdown to milestones like scans and 'due in 99 days' etc. I wanna be pregnant again. I didn't have the most perfect of labours/deliveries with Jess but having her here made it all worthwhile. Am I weird for missing my bump or are these normal feelings? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Completely normal. I was the same for ages. I actually found myself having a little cry a couple of times. Even now I still really miss it but I don't feel so emotional about it. I feel like I've really lost something though. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | No, I can say that after the birth of my two others, I didn't miss the bump. I was excited to have my babies, and excited to get back to normal.
It's so sweet hearing these stories of others missing their bump.  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Don't get me wrong I'm over the moon that she's here and she's safe I just miss the bond I had with her when she was part of me. Watching her make my belly move, feeling the bumps in my belly and wondering if its an elbow or a knee etc. Think I'm just a daft moo lol xXx |

I'm Currently Feeling: | No way! I really missed my bump and it is quite a change to get used to being one person again. For weeks after I had Charlie I would forget that the ticks and pangs weren't his feet in my ribs but my uterus contracting back down.
I used to love seeing the outline of his foot in my tummy. It is normal and you do get used to it and to be honest, the fact that I missed it so much is why I'm pregnant now. I wanted another one before he'd even turned 1.  |
