I really miss...

[tigger815]

Now that majority of us have popped what is it you miss most about pregnancy?

Something specific, a feeling, nothing?
Do share.

[pmcd886]

Little baby movement and the excitement of the ultrasounds are the only things I miss. Otherwise I am not really a fan of being pregnant.

[tigger815]

I miss having help.
The last few weeks I was pregnant I wasn't allowed to do much more than shower and take myself to the doctor.

Now that I can lift DD (my 7yo) again I'm expected to do EVERYTHING. DH helps, my bitch is really my in laws when I am with them.
Transition my 7 yr old to the potty, car, chair etc.
Load the wheelchair, load the twins, load the diaper bag loaded for 2.5 people and a small army. Load up anything and everything. Maintain the house, laundry.
God forbid they offer to Vaccum or even hold a baby each so I can do it myself.
My kids are amazing but it's still next to impossible to get it all done most days.

Nothing. Every night I get in bed and lay on my stomach I do a mental "Ahhhhhh"

[flippinchica]

Laying on my stomach makes me so damn happy for something so small.

[elizabethnevadap]

The excitement of not knowing who's in there. His kicks and movements were really comforting, too.

I kinda loved my body proportions at the end of pregnancy. Like I ligit felt like I looked pretty damn good for being 6-9 months pregnant. Now I'm back to scaring myself when I catch a glimpse in the mirror, lol.

Also, stomach sleeping is EVERYTHING! Even if I'm about as disoriented when I wake up for night feedings as this:

Ugh the naps! I didn't work for the last month so I got to have naps everyday. I love naps. Now baby girl naps when I can't sleep.. We need to get more in sync

[melohdy]

I miss how simple taking care of my two year old was. Now it's a juggling act. Does that count?

I absolutely love my pregnant body. I looked at myself today and thought this is it.

Ecstatic to not be pregnant anymore. Freedom is wonderful and watching her grow before my eyes is sheer magic.

[shannonabigail]

Using the excuse of "pregnant lady" for everything: sitting down often, getting to the front of food lines, getting help carrying stuff, etc.

Totally counts! I miss having quality time with DS, we need to get better at carving DS/mommy time out of each day. 

Also, I feel like I slept way better when I was pregnant...so there's that, too

I've never been a stomach sleeper but now I do it just because I can.

[amberlie]

Really just the movement, but that was painful towards the end and also terrifying when it didn't happen as much. Also, not bleeding for weeks on end was pretty cool. I could do without that right about now.

[glitterpoop]

I miss all the sleep I got and the excitement about giving birth if that makes sense.

[motownthrowdown]

Feeling movement. I only had about 1 month where I could tell 100 percent if it was baby or gas.

Awesome hair, no breakout, getting to pig out on ice cream and blame baby, getting to be (more of) a bitch and blame hormones.

[2dumbdogs]

Honestly? Nothing. I don't find pregnancy magical or special or exciting. I miss not being a human milk bag!

[RandomName]

I love my pregnant body. I'm never as confident as I am pregnant. I'm not at a point where I miss anything yet. Give it a few months and I'll miss something and get the crazy idea to try for another!

[queenb]

I miss sleep! And being able to eat whenever I wanted (although this is probably helping with weight loss). And I miss being able to go do whatever I want whenever I want and not have to strategically plan a trip to the grocery store.

But... Overall I hated being pregnant and I'm so glad he's out!

[ampaints]

The wonder of who this little person would end up being.

At the end Miles had his feet tucked up at the top of my stomach and I would rub them throughout the day.

[jgesi]

I miss the movement, and my maternity clothes. I'm not a fan of my awkward PP body where absolutely nothing fits right. I also miss sleep, even though it was uncomfortable sleep. I do NOT miss lightning crotch, sleeping on my side, contractions, and always being out of breath and generally in pain.

[hopefulreturn]

I miss making myself a priority (although it was technically taking care of myself to take care of baby!) I'd eat, rest and hydrate!

Eta: and though pregnancy sleep was kind of miserable, I do miss not having to listen//worry about feedings in my sleep!

[bcmomsaysso]

I miss kicks and movements. I even had a few "phantom" movements after she was born, where I thought I felt a kick and then was like "oh yea, not pregnant"
And eating all the food with no shame
