Anybody else going to miss pregnancy? I had a terrible first 20 weeks so I feel like I missed out on a lot of the good feelings until now.
Obviously I’m so excited to meet baby but something about feeling those kicks comforts me so much��

I felt this way with my first! Even at 40 weeks I didn’t feel ready to be done! This time i oscillate back and forth between feeling done and really enjoying this season. I’m 26 weeks and I feel like I’m finally really getting in the groove LOL better late than never I guess.

I felt this way with my first and cried after she was born for the first week because she wasn’t in my belly anymore! This time I am very excited to labor to come ��

I definitely felt this way with my first and in a more complex way with my second. I remember “missing” the kicks and having my daughter inside of me with my first. My second came at 37+3, which I wasn’t expecting, so I felt sad that my pregnancy felt cut short in a way.

Nope! �� I have no shame in admitting that pregnancy is not for me and I will not miss it one bit! I love my babies but do not love being pregnant.

@kshew72,
amen. Looking forward to being done! When I’m not pregnant I can appreciate the process and feel lucky to be able to do it but I will not miss it when I’m done.

I’ve loved being pregnant! This is my first baby, but I’ve had zero morning sickness and tbh I sometimes don’t think about me being pregnant and then when people comment about my bump it reminds me ��
I love feeling him move and kick it’s such a sweet feeling, but this is our first baby so I’m hoping to have more kids in the future ��

I love all these responses! I’m sure once I’m 9 months pregnant in August I’ll feel a little differently��

Nope but that's awesome that you are finding joy in it! Not sure if you are a FTM or not but there are a lot of fun times ahead!

I cannot wait to be done! I keep catching myself hoping to go into labor but reminding myself I still have a few weeks until it’s safe for him to be born. I’m on the struggle bus for sure.
