dO YOU misS It?

Question

I HAD A BABY 10 WEEKS AGO AND REALLY MISS BEING PREGNANT, DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL THAT WAY

Answer 1

I did. Most people treat you different when you are pregnant. People tend to be nicer during your pregnancy.. You feel like a queen. Then reality sets in. As eat, sleep, and poop fills your days and nights it is hard to remember how good you felt before. Also, the anxious anticipation of the baby's arrival has past and your adrenaline levels have dropped way down. The first couple of months are the hardest. You have to let your mind and your body adjust to motherhood. It will get better and you will only enjoy your little one more and more. Hang in there.

Answer 2

I really missed being pregnant after having my daughter. I think we get so used to the special attention and treatment we get when we're pregnant, everyone looking at our beautiful pregnant round bellies. Then after having the baby all the attention goes to the baby, so we feel sad about not being pregnant anymore. The 2 weeks after delivery were the hardest for me.

Try to spend a little extra time on yourself, get a manicure, pedicure, massage...something to make you feel special. Then remember how anxious you were to have your precious baby in your arms. Now here they are and things are how they should be. It'll get a little easier with time, but I think I'll always miss being pregnant. We will try for baby #2 sometime next year, so I know I'll be pregnant again, but I still miss it.

Answer 3

Oh, for sure. My kids are 5, 3 and 16 months and I still miss that big belly! I loved being pregnant & the feeling of the baby moving aroung in there. The whole suspense of seeing your child for the first time, is like nothing in the world though. You're making me want another baby!

Answer 4

When I had my son I missed being pregnant too. Sometime around age 1 or so I started feeling more like my old self physically and didn't miss it then. It's a wonderful time though and I'm lucky to be pregnant again!

Answer 5

Its very common! That is the main reason you see so many people who have babies very very close in age. Mine were 18 months apart, and although there were challenges, I would do it again in a heart beat!
Congrats on the new baby, I hope all is well.
You are feeling this way because for nine months people paid attention to YOU and your baby belly. Now the baby is here and all the attention is on your little one. Dont let it get to you, and pay attention to YOU once in a while, we are not superwomen, don't try to be one.

Boy or girl?

Answer 6

mine are 18, 10 & 8 and I have missed it since the very day my last one was born. Part of it is the hormones that express themselves into that what i call "warm fuzzy" feeling you get when you look at your husband and new baby and realize ...hey...this is a mixture of both of us. Just look at it this way, remember how when you thought about your baby your baby you breast milk may start to leak (after the baby was born)? thats how powerful the human hormone/emotions can be! And they are just so darn cute........ I miss all but the sleep interruption.

Answer 7

I hated being pregnant ... but I had five children. I suppose that if this is your first child, it's part of that 'reproduce and replenish the earth' that women go through when they are younger, and even some older women are now able to do that, with help from doctors. I had many miscarriages, and was told it was IMPOSSIBLE for me to get pregnant, much less carry a child to term. If that was true, I had 'little miracles' who are now having their own kids. But there is an good explanation of why you are 'missing' being pregnant ... because you are 'one down' and need to have at least one more child to 'replenish' the earth ... even though we know that we need 'less than zero' population growth these days, the 'need' to reproduce AT LEAST ourselves and our husbands is still 'programmed in' our minds.

Answer 8

YES! I have 3 kids (one will be 4 in two weeks, a 2 1/2 yr old and a 7 month old) and I always loved being pregnant. I want one more but according to our bank account that's PROBABLY not a good idea :)

Answer 9

I have a 5 month old and would do it all again! I never realized how much I lOVED being prego! I miss the belly and all of the wonderful amazing feelings inside! Hmmm maybe time to try for another one!!

Answer 10

Nope! My son is 21 months and I just feel like me again. I love being able to eat/drink what I want, riding roller coasters, all of it. Plus I just got a personal trainer and I am ready to get back in shape, defiantly need to be in shape before the next baby takes up residence!
