Probably totally bizarre but does anyone ever actually miss being pregnant? In the thick of it I was so done and wanted nothing more to give birth but now I’m honestly missing it a little
Another baby isn’t on the cards for a loooong time, my little guy is only 3 months old. I love seeing his sweet smiles and his perfect little face but a part of me misses the little kicks and having a cute bump.
Is this a thing or is my brain just trying to trick me into having another baby lmfao?
Yes, I miss the kicks and just being able to keep my baby safe in my belly. He’s 7 months old and it’s the biggest blessing watching him grow. But I definitely miss being pregnant. Never thought I’d say that because the last part of pregnancy was rough lol.

That’s how I feel for my second pregnancy. My first I had an anterior placenta so I barely felt my son. My daughter though was a kicker and would have hiccups a lot. It was too cute lol.
Yeah I enjoyed pregnancy, even when I complained in the thick of it! My husband said to me after I gave birth “I can tell you’re going to miss all the attention”
I just miss everyone acting like I was fragile and couldn’t do anything. Oh and people letting me to the front of the line for the toilet. Other than that no.
I don’t miss being pregnant but I miss how excited and naive I was to think everything was going to be so amazing once the baby came haha and I miss all of the time I carved out for self-care in those days.

Yes, I miss the excitement and anticipation I felt with my first. My husband and I literally would celebrate each week with the different food the pregnancy app said baby was the size of. I got to sleep when I was tired. It was tough but exciting.
I’m now 16 weeks with my second and it’s just survival mode. Toddler is a terror in the most well-meaning way. Half the time I forget I’m pregnant until an annoying symptom pops up. Two kids will be interesting.
Yes I do. I loved the first 6 months of pregnancy before my bad back pain and I was so happy and loved feeling the movements and little kicks. I also had hardly any sickness or nausea which helped. Even though birth was painful I loved the whole experience and when my baby was two weeks old I really wanted to go through it all again I would even consider surrogacy if my back pain wasn’t so bad. I’m looking forward to being pregnant again, hopefully fingers crossed if I’m lucky enough to experience it again at some point in the future!
I had a weird feeling of homesickness for weeks after birth. It felt like something was missing even though the baby was right in my arms. I hated being pregnant but somehow really missed it. There was a safety and security knowing she was in my belly kicking around.
