What do you miss most about pregnancy?

So what is it that you miss about pregnancy? Share Your Thoughts
What I will miss about pregnancy
- This is my second pregnancy and I am currently 24 weeks.. The most I will miss is the feeling the baby move inside.. it's such and amazing feeling and experience.. I'll also miss the baby bump but not the backache that comes with it! LOL.

Hate it!!
- What I won't miss b being pregnant. I had a horrible pregnancy vomiting the whole time dehydrated in hospital. This is a nightmare. I am 8 mths . I have 8 wks left. I go in 1 wk early. I can't wait to sleep normal. And not be vomiting. To get my taste back, for food to taste good. Also indigestion horrible I'm on Zantac what a life saver! This is my 3rd pregnancy. I am getting my tubes tied I can't wait. But I am really excited to meet my little man. And hold him . That's what I'm really excited 4! I guess all the suffering we go through once our baby comes we forget about all of it! Good luck to all the mom's. As as we have a healthy baby it's all worth it :-)

Sleeping in my normal position.
- You ask what i miss most about pregnancy. You don't know how it feels like lying with sides only. i can't wait to sleep on my tommy. I do enjoy my sleep alot when i press my stomach on the bed. what about being reminded all the time that am pregnant? Oh! don't eat this, don't drink that.

Miss it so much!!!
- So glad to read the first response about literally crying over the keyboard as I too have been feelin so isolated thinking this was totally bizarre, to pine so much over a pregnancy whenever I have such a healthy handsome baby boy aged just 4 weeks. I can't stop. Crying over the fact that I no longer have my baby growing, kicking and hiccuping inside me! I don't understand why I find myself looking at my pregnancy photos rather than spending the time enjoying my baby. Is this normal? Why am I feelin like this?

Hmm..
- I'll miss watching my belly grow, the stomach massages, the special attention. :) but I won't miss the emotional & physical symptoms of it. Talk about torture! I hate it, it makes me feel terrible. :( but I can't wait to hold my baby girl,[ we're probably naming her Peyton ] in my arms. :)

I miss you Jake
- I have a perfectly happy healthy 3 week old baby boy and I'm crying all over my keyboard right now. How silly. I miss him always being with me. I miss feeling him move and knowing him in a way that no one else will ever know him. He was just mine. And that sounds so selfish...but pregnancy is the only time he is just yours, so take advantage of every single moment. I also had a very diificult pregnancy and complained and wanted him out. But now I would give anything to go through it all again. I miss how orange juice would make him squirm. I miss how he would get up with me in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. I miss his hiccups. Of course its amazing having him around now, but there is something so special about pregnancy. I miss my baby.

Incredible thing pregnancy :D
- I'm 38 weeks now. Not sure how my next pregnancy will be, but this one has been wonderful. Everyone always says how much they can't wait to get baby out (and with an uncomfortable or horrible pregnancy I can understand that)... But as much as I can't wait to meet my son and see what he looks like and his personality... I'm really really treasuring my last few weeks with him and all the joys that come with pregnancy. I suppose I shall miss how special it makes me feel with my family, my husband and even strangers. There is a certain respect and protection that people feel for a pregnant woman. I will also muss his movements and the special inside-tummy bond that we share. I'm constantly in awe that my body can grow a little human being. I am also looking forward to the incredible accomplishment of giving birth and holding him in my arms :D

Nothing!
- I hate everything about being pregnant: not being able to pick things up or put my socks on, having gone up in weight 40%, indigestion after drinking a glass of water, backache, only being able to sleep on my left side, tiredness. I hate people asking me the same questions about whether I'm excited or how I'm feeling, I hate anyone touching me, even my poor husband and I hate not being able to eat what I like. I do love children, and this will be my second long awaited girl after 3 miscarriages but I just want her out of me. I was thinking about having 3 kids but I don't know if I can go through this again. Today is my due date.

Disgusting
- Is one word I can describe as to how I feel being pregnant. My usual gorgeous toned body and flat tummy looks horrendous pregnant and out of shape. I'm always in pain, no sleep, bruised ribs from baby kicking, nausea, fainting and that's from my first baby! Even though this one seems a bit easier, it is not any more enjoyable. Womens body's look strange and awful pregnant, definately not sexy. Thank God it's only for 9 months! Can't wait to have my sexy body back and of course, my baby out of there and in my arms.

Yikes
- I won't miss anything I have 8 weeks left and this pregnancy was horrible my daughter was easy my unborn son not so much the only thing I love about being pregnant is giving birth
- —Guest Shyan
Nothing
- As crazy as it sounds, I won't miss anything, I think. This is my first pregnancy and my hormones have me to whacked out I want drugs to calm me down. I can't stand my husband touching me. I hate the constant heartburn and the back pain. I hate having everyone give me advice I didn't solicit. I hate the constant worry about the baby being healthy. I'm sooooo ready to have my daughter in my arms and safe.

What I Will Miss
- There are a few things that I will miss and a lot of things that I won't miss at all. I can tell every pregnancy is different. I am pregnant with my second boy and everything is different from my 1st one. I agree with Kayla, I will definitely miss all the attention my husband gives me by rubbing my belly. I feel extra special, too. :) I will miss all the movements and little kicks. I won't miss the morning sickness, heartburn, backaches, restless nights and swollen feet and ankles at all. I've got 7 weeks left, I'm at 33 weeks now, and ready for our precious baby boy here.

What I miss the most...
- I miss the excitement of how he/she is going to look and I also miss my husband rubbing my belly. All that attention made me feel extra special.

Sleep!!!
- I've had minor bouts of insomnia throughout this pregnancy, now with 3 weeks left it's an almost nightly occurrence. Even with the hours of sleep I am missing, I know that it is nothing compared to what I am going to experience once baby gets here. So right now with her still inside, I am cherishing the sleep I am getting. I was downright miserable with the sleep deprivation with my son, who had his days and nights mixed up for 4 months. I'm hoping that my baby girl is a little easier on me (and her daddy). I have a live-in MIL this time around so she will be there when I need a little nap.

The miracle of pregnancy
- Don't get me wrong, pregnancy for me has been awful! I've been off work on modified bed rest since 12 weeks! But after doing fertility treatment for two years, I am willing to put up with anything to have this baby. I will miss the private joy of feeling my body change and grow with baby. I'll miss feeling her move, and watching my belly move with her. Also will miss having her all to myself - right now, she's MY baby, but in 7 weeks I'll have to share her. I can hardly wait to see her little face, and count fingers and toes, knowing that *I* made this littler person.
