I miss being pregnant

ChristinaR · #1 February 23rd, 2010, 09:20 AM

Any of you ladies looking forward to #2? I really miss being pregnant already. We've already started talking about number two. I can't wait

It's funny because right after I had Brevan I was soooo overwhelmed I thought for sure I was done lol. It's amazing what a few months can do.

I miss being pregnant too...BUT, I dont miss these sleepless nights. Thats still fresh in my mind and helping me enjoy Bella a bit longer before #2

Jodi0804 · #3 February 23rd, 2010, 10:30 AM

I miss feeling him move in my belly, but definitely not ready for #2 yet; this little guy is giving us a run for our money

Christine-MA · #4 February 23rd, 2010, 11:14 AM

Sometimes I feel something in my stomach (gas bubble?

) and it reminds me of those kicks! I miss rubbing my belly. These sleepless nights are killing me, but I do plan to start TTC in June. Might as well get it over with quick, right? lol

I'm anxiously awaiting TTC#2.... We're not ready for it now with me still trying to finish up school but MAN do I have baby fever...

Micksbabe · #6 February 23rd, 2010, 12:16 PM

I can't wait to start TTC#2!!! I would have started trying after the first 6 weeks if I hadn't had a c-section. I want to let my body heal for a little longer before I put it through all of that again, so we aren't going to start trying until April of 2011 (maybe sooner if I can convince my DH)

I'm still pregnant now and I already think about how much I'm going to miss being pregnant!! DH and I have decided not to ever go back on birth control so if it happens it happens! If it has not happened by a year then we are for sure going back on the fertility drugs to have our second!!

How exciting for you! When do you want to start trying? I miss feeling him kick, and my big pregnant belly, but am not quite ready to start thinking about #2. I'll be TOTALLY thrilled when we are ready for #2. We'll probably start trying when Camden is 2 or so.

Oreobaby · #9 February 23rd, 2010, 06:17 PM

LOL...definitely not in the missing being pregnant stage...

Since I still am pregnant.

But I'm guess I'll have to wait to see how things go once my LO Is out of the womb...I'm not sure I'll miss it, because I will be so excited to have her in my arms!!

jamipeach · #10 February 23rd, 2010, 08:17 PM

It's amazing how you feel so ready to be done with pregnancy and then they are here and you miss it!!!

I really can't wait to be pregnant again, but I think we will be waiting awhile. I want to enjoy Violet and I want her to be out of diapers and know what is going on, know that she is having a baby brother or sister.. so maybe when she is 2 we could start trying....

Cheryl_W · #11 February 23rd, 2010, 08:40 PM

I'm 15 weeks, still feeling like total *****, and even I still miss the earlier parts of being pregnant and am thinking about #2... LOL - Despite my complaints, I just still enjoy it too much not to do it again - even if I've been in bed most of today. Who cares, I GOT to be in bed most of the day! LOL

DH and I decided, no birth control (since I react so horribly to it anyway)... So 6 weeks after baby is born when we get the clear from the doc, we'll start NTNP - no BFP after a year, and Clomid comes calling LOL - which is actually weird, because if we waited 6 weeks after baby to start trying, and nothing for a year means Clomid... We'd get pregnant almost at the exact same time as we did with this LO if the first cycle worked again! LOL That's awesome, maybe they'd share a birthday but 2 years apart

I can't say I completely know how you feel, but I know I will. I know the minute that baby comes out, I'm going to miss being pregnant and want to start trying again... 6 weeks of healing would be hard if it wasn't for those sleepless nights LOL

ChristinaR · #12 February 24th, 2010, 06:22 AM

My ob told me I should really wait a year before trying because of the c-section so that will put me at December

I'm really looking forward to trying again though. Hopefully it won't take as long to get pregnant this time around.

Soape · #13 February 24th, 2010, 06:23 AM

I'm hoping it doesn't take as long!!!

Jodi, I'm right there with ya chica!!!! At the beginning, it's SUCH a trying time for parents who have colicky babies so I'm feel ya! You WILL forget and you WILL want another, promise!!! There are days when I want another and more days that I'm WAYYYYY not ready yet. We will start trying again in Dec when Paige is 18mths. I do NOT miss being prego. I was not one of those ladies who just loved being prego. I miss feeling her move around, but that's about it. Call it selfish, but I like having my body be my body!

Jodi0804 · #15 February 24th, 2010, 08:42 AM

Gwen - I figured eventually we will want another one. Each day seems to get a little better and I think when it warms up and we can get out more with him he'll be even better

I have a feeling we'll be waiting till he is 2 or so to start trying again!

samspain · #16 February 25th, 2010, 07:01 AM

We are ttc#2, but AF only came back this month. We had been ntnp since she was 6 weeks old.

I really miss being pg and having a newborn (However a 10 month old is starting to make me think I am mad to even consider it!)

I'm going to miss this stage when he becomes more mobile. I love how snuggly he is as a newborn. Once he starts crawling he's not going to want to be picked up so much.

OMG YES! Enjoy every minute that your LO will allow you to snuggle up because as soon as they start rolling and standing and cruising... you can't get baby to sit still long enough for cuddles. The only chance I get to snuggle Siera is when she's already sleeping. I miss the days when she would just lie there and stare at me in wonder.

Banned-Jaylas_Mommy · #19 February 25th, 2010, 09:38 AM

i really miss being pregnant also! i loved it!

with that said, we dont wanna try for a few more years. i want jayla to be out of diapers and i want to spend a few years with just jayla. although icant wait to do it again!!

Cheryl_W · #20 February 26th, 2010, 02:27 PM

Christina, I can say from watching my little nephew grow from tiny newborn to 11 month old - the mobile stages are different, but they're not better or worse. Yeah, sure, I loved cuddling with the little guy and bonding with him when he was just tiny and would lay there and stare at Auntie - but now when I come over, he walks over to me - all by himself. He gives me a hug. He tries to say "Auntie" and it comes out "A-duh". He waves hello and goodbye, smiles, giggles, plays... I swear, he's not even my kid and I freaking bawled when he walked to me for the first time!

You might miss the snuggly times, but you'll be so busy playing and chasing after him - it won't bother you too much
