Has anyone else had this happen to them? I am 26 and have a very close relationship with my parents. Before I got married, I lived in an apartment with my best friend. Once I got married, I moved in with my husband. I was never homesick. Though, now I am 6 weeks pregnant, I find myself missing my mom and dad desparately. They only live a mile away from me and I normally go over there and visit on the weekends, but for the past 2 weeks or so, I just miss them so much. I want to go over there all the time. Has anyone else ever expierenceed this?I know it's totally crazy. But I miss my family. Maybe it's just hormones. But I really miss my mom and dad! Anyone else ever go through this, or am I just totally losing it? Thanks!

Thank you so much! I feel so much better knowing it's not just me. It's just so crazy, you know? I've lived away from home for years, and never had this problem. Now, all I want is it go back home. Thank you for making me feel more normal!

Yes it is your hormones, but totally normal!!!! I have been married for 6 years and this is my second pregnancy and for the first few weeks I wanted my mommy so bad!!! LOL and I am 28! It will get better. You'll wake up one day and just feel totally different. But I am sure your mother would totally love to be there for you right now, let her baby you for a few days!! :)

My wife got a serious case of needing to talk to her parents more when she got pregnant.
I am not so certain it is hormones as much as it is getting reassurances during a very new period of your life. Especially if you have been very close to your parents. You have shared everything with them, and now you have something new and wonderful that you are bursting at the seams about.
My wife wanted to fly back to visit her parents several times, and finally used her mother's cancer treatment as the justification to spend the money and go. And if that cancer hadn't showed up, she would have used some other excuse
So, I think your reaction is kinda normal. Just don't be shutting out your husband. While your excitement and need for your parents is fine, if it ends up excluding or annoying your husband, it will become a major sticking point. It's YOUR family now, and your parents will have to also adjust to becoming a major 3rd fiddle to both your husband and new child.
And congrats!

You are on a hormonal coaster ride. Bear with it since it will stop.
Being pregnant is a major undertaking for the body. It is nourishing a new life - so the hormones go a little crazy - that is normal. After 9 months you get your reward.
By the way grandma most likely will be coming to help you with your baby, and that shold help cure being homesick.

You are just on a hormonal roller coaster that isn't likely to end for about 1 year AFTER you deliver. Hang in there as those hormones take you for the ride of your life! Give your Mom a call and quit feeling quilty. Kudos to your family for still feeling close to one another even through adulthood.

Its just the hormones. When I was 36wks my husband had to go out of town for work, for 2 wks and I stayed at my dads house just in case I went into labor so I wouldn't be alone and I missed being at my house with my husband so much that I cried myself to sleep everynight he was gone. Hormones are a horrible thing aren't they? Things will get better! Congrats and Good Luck!

I think that is not to unusual. My mom was dead before my first pregancy and I missed her a whole lot while I was pregnant, there was so much I wished I could ask her. Be glad you are close and can visit. Extended family is so good for children

Aww... I feel for you. Somtimes we just miss our parents. I went through that this weekend. I had to call my mom and just talk to her, and then we ended up going over to my parents place as well. Sometimes we just need to. You should go for a visit.
