does anyone else miss being preggers?

I miss it sometimes, the movements, the cute preggo clothes My husband even said he misses seeing me pregnant. I am a mother of 3 sons (tried for a girl..you could end up like me, LOL). I enjoyed each of my pregnancies even though I had awful morning sickness with the last one. I am very happy with my 3 sons and will not have anymore children.

yes u definitely miss it being pregnant, i have 2 years old daughter and i want to have another baby. me and husband wish for a baby boy next time i will get pregnant.

I miss it too!!! I have 2 kids and want 2 more I think. My youngest is 7 months. My oldest was 17 months when I needed another baby. I wonder when it will happen this time?

Some people just don't have that biological pull to have babies. If you only want one, or don't want any, as long as you're happy, then kudos! Making people have babies that don't want them is no good. And restricting people that want babies to few or none is repressive. To each their own! Happiness to all.

Wow, that sounds hokey.... :P

I absolutely do! My son just turned one yesterday, and all day I was reliving the whole labor and delivery experience I had, which was absolutely wonderful! I miss feeling in my tummy, feeling as healthy and vibrant as I did during my pregnancy, and this may make me sound selfish, but all the attention that was showered on me! HA!
We only have one child after going through infertility treatment (2 IUI's and 3 IVF's) for five years, so being pregnant was more than a gift for me, but seeing my son every day reminds me just how lucky I am (and how wonderful modern science can be when you need it!!).

Oh no, my only child turned 17 in January. when I was preggers, I loved chocolate, I gained almost 50 pounds, and it took me eight years to finally bring my weight under control. No I don't miss being preggers.

I absolutley Miss being pregnant especially right now I have so many cousins pregnant right now and when we hang out I look at all their bellys and just miss is so much! ..I have a 2 year old son..and I want another one soo bad, I got pregnant at a young age but Never once doubted the kind of mother i would be bc I help raise so many of my cousins and believe me we have tons of kids in our family. And when I was pregnant I never felt more beautiful in my life, I mean im a 108 pounds and Id much rather be in a pregnant state, You just dont have to worry about anything but keeping that baby healthy and make sure they have a good place to grow in ur belly. Now that my son is 2 I deffinatly am ready for another one..well i really have been ready for another one since he was like 3 months how funny but we are big family ppl. What makes it worse is that I babysit a little boy who is 1 while im doing some schooling at home and My son hates it when he leaves he Loves having another baby around so i know he will be a good big brother! My fiance and I are getting married in may and I will soon be finished with school, so he said once were married and i have the job i been working for we can start in august or sepetember. Im so excited. Girl have as many kids as you want. You will know when your done. If you want another one then go for it, i want 5 kids but hey I might feel that im done when I have my next one haha..I hope you find some answers and believe me ur not alone with the missing the pregnant feeling!

I do not miss it. I had 2 great pregnancies with no morning sickness or any trouble. Wouldn't do that again unless my husband wanted me to. He also thinks two is enough. We have two of the best kids.. well behaved, highly intelligent, funny, outgoing... can't ask for more. I do have a boy and a girl... maybe that is why I am not interested.

Brandy - posted on 03/10/2010

I have a 13month boy and I miss being pregnant so bad. When my son was 6 months I was already wanting another but my husband asked me to wait until he turned one but now he is 13 months and now he still wants to wait but I would love to have another. I miss feeling him kicking and rolling in my stomach because no man will never know the feeling and how bonded a women is to the child even before it is here. It's just amazing!! Maybe next year we will have another. Hoping for a girl!

Oh, my babies are 9, 4 and 18 months by the way

Kim - posted on 03/10/2010

NO WAY! I hated being pregnant. I had to be on bedrest for all 3 pregnancys and it was no fun. If I could have had a normal preg. it may have been different but I'm glad I can't prego again. The last one was the longest was on bedrest at 14 weeks that was enough for me to make up my mind! But I LOVE being a mommy, thats the best thing in the world!

Desiree - posted on 03/10/2010

I absolutely loved being pregnant and wish like no other that i could be again. unfortunately that is impossible and all (you can ask me for that whole bit if you want). i just would like one more child (have an 18mon old now). the bst of luck and keep ur head up

OMG! I miss it so much and my children are 13 and 15.

Kristin - posted on 03/10/2010

I have 2 wonderful little girls ages 7 & 8 from my first marriage. My husband has 3 kids of his own from his first marriage. But we would like to have at least one more of our own together sometime. I miss being pregnant. I was so happy when i was pregnant and loved every minute of it. If we could financially do it right now I'd probably be pregnant. Ha! Maybe in another year or two.

I miss it so most, and we been trying for 5 yrs now. I been told I have secondary infertility. So it looks like my 9yrs old daughter will be a only child, if the doctor can help us.

Donna - posted on 03/09/2010

I threw up for nine months straight with both of my kids. Nope, don't miss it at all.

Shaun - posted on 03/08/2010

I totally LOVED being pregnant. I had 5 kids and if I was younger then I'd have more. I love the glow, the excitement, how beautiful I look pregnant, and the little kicks from within. I got married when I was 28, we waited a year to start a family, then I had a baby every 2-3 years. I hoped that I'd come to a point where I would be sick of being pregnant and having a new baby around the house, but I never was. It IS wonderful though, watching them grow and getting to know them as people. AND I loved when people wanted to touch my belly, I found it to be a warm, natural human connection in this very untouchy society we live in.

i miss that wish i could get preg

Roshanna - posted on 03/08/2010

I do miss the whole pregnancy thing because I wanted at least 3 children but after my first things didn't work out that way. I married a great man who had 3 childrenso somehow I was ok. Now i'm looking forward to the grandkids.

Shannon - posted on 03/08/2010

I have a 4 yr old & a 9 month old..I've been trying to get pregnant again for 5 months, & haven't! We are an older couple, so we figure if we want many children, we really need to start popping them out. It's super frustrating to not be pregnant when you want to be, especially when so many of my friends are right now.:-(

Marianna - posted on 03/08/2010

Right after I gave birth and got home I started to feel sad, looking through my photos with my pregnant belly I realize I was sad cause I wasn't preggers anymore. I anticipate the next, although it is way down the road, I look forward to enjoying the next one much more instead of taking it for granted and wishing it to be over so soon.

no, i'm preg now due in June with a girl

Roxanne - posted on 03/06/2010

i loved being pregnant, all the attention and i think it looks really nice, or special. whenever i see a pregnant person i miss it so much but i do love having my baby, ahh and the last month was pretty horrible, just waiting around for the wee thing to come out into the world. i'm glad i'm not the only person who loved being preggies : )

Brandee - posted on 03/05/2010

I so don't miss it at all. I didn't have a difficult pregnancy or anything, I just hated the restrictions.....especially not having sweets. I am a certified Chocoholic and have whats called glucose intollerant. Which means that I not diabetic, but my sugar does spike if I don't eat every two hours and limit my sweets so it doesn't turn into diabetes. But mostly, I hated being lazy. My son sat low in the womb so I couldn't do a lot because it was uncomfortable. I love being a mom, and having him here rather than my tummy.....

Catherine - posted on 03/05/2010

I definitely miss the feeling and sensations and knowing that my baby is safe inside of me. And I loved the attention. I had really bad stretch marks only through the last two months, but they ripped open at one point and I can't get them to go away now, :P But yea I miss it too.

Katie - posted on 03/05/2010

Kristie,
I have considered adoption, but then theres nothing like carrying that baby in your tummy and feeling it kick...thats my favorite part of being preggers! I even have asked my husband to get "un-fixed" LOL!! I know it was extreme...of course he said no way! ha!ha! it was worth a try. But if neither you nor your husband are fixed I'm sure you can keep trying to convince him ;) Let me know if you become preggers ....I would be so excited for you!!! Well have a nice day and hopfully I'll be talking to ya soon :)

I loved being Prego! What a great bonding feeling!!

RICHELLE - posted on 03/05/2010

i also have 3 girls and decided when i was pregnant with my third to be fixed now 7 yr later i married a wonderful man and we can't have a child together but we both have our own kids that we both help raise.

Keeshea - posted on 03/05/2010

I do miss being pregnant also. I miss feeling my baby move inside of me. I liked dressing up in the cutest clothes. I looked and felt wonderful (after the 1st trimester - anyway). I have a 8 1/2 month son. We do want another child (or two). Our dilemma is when to start trying for another child. I'm 36 years old in a month so I feel that my biological clock is ticking. My husband and I threw caution to the wind and had unprotected sex (lots of unprotected sex). So, I may be pregnant as we speak but I won't know until next week. Stay tuned...

Hi Kristie I so totaly miss being regnant ! I was misserable and stressed through my last one and stressed with the one before but all the other stuff I loved.

Jonie - posted on 03/05/2010

were planning to have a baby boy..i'm excited too...eventhough we already have 2 girls and 1 boy, but my period came this month.honestly, im a bit upset. :(

Kristie - posted on 03/05/2010

awe katie! thanks for the advice. i will remember that. but it will be a MIRACLE if i can talk my husband into another. i want 4 children and he only wants the two which is what we have. two boys. i told him if he will just let me have ONE MORE i will be done! i know you want another, have you considered adopting? i would love to adopt, but like i said, i have to talk my husband into another child. and i want to be pregnant at least one more time! haha. good luck to you and thanks so much for your help!

Katie - posted on 03/04/2010

I totally miss it !! I have three girls and wanted a boy so bad and when I was 8mths along with our third I said to my husband "no more" and we decided that three was enough.....I will tell you one thing never make that kind of desicion when you are pregnant , I now regret it . :( but there is nothing I can do now. Have another one if that is what you truly feel in your heart is right.

Lynn - posted on 03/04/2010

My husband and I have one child. My husband then received a vasectomy. This was about three years ago, and I havent even come close to regretting the decision we made. And when i was pregnant, I wasnt very stressed, I wasnt worried about how i looked when I was pregnant, and I was my normal happy cheery self. So Its not like I decided to have no more kids due to problems with pregnancy.
