What Do You Miss About Being Pregnant?

[MrsMiggins]

I've just posted a "What are the things you miss being pregnant?" thread on the pregnancy pages all about the things you miss/ed out on when you were PG, so I thought I'd also add one here for those things you adored about being PG & miss now that you're past that stage!

For me, mine are:


The sweet little kicks!
Ultrasounds
The anticipation
Seeing your belly getting bigger knowing that there is a little human being inside you!
hearing the heartbeat at antenatal appointments
Getting a seat on the bus etc.
Having a great excuse for being a bit vague
Having a great excuse for not being able to lift anything heavy/do any strenuous housework/etc.
having the BEST excuse for having a big belly! :D
buying up on all the tiny, tiny baby clothes imagining how cute they're going to look on your little one!
imaginig what your bub is going to look like
buying nursery furniture for the first time (FUN!!)


Ahhhh! Can't wait for #2!!

Kicks
My belly
The unknown person inside you just growing and getting ready to come out
The anticipation of meeting my new bub and knowing I would go to the end of the earth for it before I even see it
Buying baby clothes
Getting things ready for bub and making sure it is all perfect for them.
Cravings - I craved the best things (chocolate, ice-cream etc)

I miss sharing the little kicks and movments

The feeling of having a little life growing inside you
Getting the nusury ready
Everything else really

[LittleBoysRock]

Feeling the life inside me
Bonding with my unborn child
Feeling so natural and womanly
Feeling those kicks
Having my husband admire my pregnant tummy
Hearing the heartbeat and being reminded of that little life inside me


And to tell the truth I really disliked being pregnant so to miss all of those things is incredible. It feels so amazing to create life though, I feel so incredibly proud of myself for it....silly I know. :)

I miss the anticipation of meeting my child
I miss everything about it!!!!

Oh i defiently miss lots. My gorgeous belly, i loved it! Was such a good excuse to have the top button of your jeans un-done :D.
And the kicks, they were so nice!
The ultrasound, being able to see our little man on the screen!
Being in labour i loved knowing that we were going to have our baby soon, even if it did hurt :p
The first cuddle with my little man, it was magical.
Oh and Jacobs first smile and his laugh.

I miss bonding with bubs.. having bubs all to myself... I miss buying baby clothes for someone you havent met yet.. and the excitement of not knowing when you will meet them, all the fab attention you get and an excuse to eat as much as you like.. and I miss my belly! Actually I miss almost everythng apart from the morning sickness! :D

[lovemybub]

I miss my belly. I was quite proud of my belly, I have to say, although I don't miss the fact that I can sleep on my belly again :p

I think one of the most special moments was that first time DH felt the baby kick. That is a moment I wish I could relive too...
