Does anyone else miss pregnancy?

I feel a little crazy for saying this, but I kind of miss being pregnant somedays. I’m so so happy I get to love and hold my baby but I miss the feeling of her kicking inside of me. I miss the excitement of the ultrasound appointments and seeing how much she’s grown. Now she’s here and no longer safe in my belly and everything seems scary and real. I actually didn’t mind pregnancy until the third trimester. But now everything is so lonely and nobody really talks to you as much when you have a newborn. It gets really isolating.

Meeeee, I absolutely love being pregnant!!! People think I’m crazy but I miss being pregnant immediately after giving birth, I get so emotional about not having a baby in my belly anymore! I told my husband I want to get pregnant with baby #3 at the end of this year 😂

Oh hell nooo … I hated being pregnant… I just look at my pregnancy videos and showing my baby how she was moving in my stomach..

@Amelia i hated the third trimester but i miss having my baby in my belly, she was safe in there. maybe it’s bc my baby was in the nicu

@Abby this makes me feel less crazy

I miss my bump. But not the way it made me feel

This is exactly how I feel!!! I miss having my baby inside me safe. I loved feeling her grow and all the appointments. I feel you on how nobody really talks to you afterwards. None of my friends have came to see the baby when I tell them come over since I had her. Except my boyfriend’s family wants to be over every weekend meanwhile I barely seen them since I had her. I feel so overwhelmed and such in Mama bear mode now I miss just the simple feeling of wanting her and knowing she’s always safe in me

I like can cry lol

@Angelica Currao feel free to message me, we can be friends! motherhood should not feel this lonely but unfortunately it does. ❤️

I definitely feel this 100%

I absolutely feel you on that. My partner says I’m wild for missing being pregnant but baby #2 will come at the right time and I’ll get to enjoy the experience even more.

Yesssss so much 🥺🥺

@Eliza nope I had a beautiful heathy baby at 39w plus three days.. I had a strong healthy journey no complications or pain with her …I just don’t like it I’m glad she out and I can see her nd be kissing her 24/7 nd holding her. I hated being uncomfortable the lonely nights and crying nd constapation… pregnancy isn’t for everyone (I’m one of them) 😂😂😂

@Eliza realistically I know I’ll probably get pregnant again at the end of this year or beginning of next year 🤪

@Abby we’re waiting til my girl is atleast 3 to try again, i definitely need some time to adjust to mom life

@Eliza understandable!! My first was about 16 months when I got pregnant again, and I was a little nervous about the adjustment going from 1 to 2 kids!But I’ll tell you it has been a piece of cake, waaaaay easier than going from 0 to 1, so I’m not nearly as nervous this time around about getting pregnant again 😅 That first baby really is the biggest adjustment of all!
