Am I crazy or does it seem like other people's pregnancies go by quicker than your own?
It happens irl and on hb! I see bees on here with babies that I keep thinking are still newly pregnant sometimes, whereas I felt like I was pregnant forever! Haha

It's funny b/c my friend is 5 months and I remember her telling me she was pregnant back in Jan. It's seemed to fly by where as I felt like I was pregnant for a year! Guess when it's not happening to you it just seems to go by faster.

Yes! But now that my due date is less than a month away I'm starting to ask where the time went!

Yes! I was thinking the same thing the other day when a friend was saying how she hit the 3rd trimester. My pregnancy lasted forever!

@swedishfish: seriously! Me too. I feel like my pregnancy has lasted forever, but even just making it to the 3rd tri, I'm like "wait a minute! Give me more time!!"

Yes! People at work kept commenting how fast my pregnancy went. Maybe for them! Though I didn't tell them until ~14 weeks so I guess they missed the not-that-much-fun first trimester.

Yes!!! I always think this!! Pregnancy an other people with newborns! I feel like they turn a month/2 months old so quickly where it seemed like a year had passed when we got to one month old! Ha!

Yes! Although at the time when I was pregnant it felt like time was going super slow but now reflecting back on it, I reckon it was the fasted 9 months of my life!

I think watching is always faster, but in hindsight, my pregnancy FLEW by. HOW DO I HAVE A SIX MONTH OLD ALREADY!?

I think my pregnancy went by pretty fast. One friend told me early like 5 weeks that she was pregnant and it felt like she was pregnant forever.

I feel like I've been pregnant forever! I definitely think other people's pregnancies go by faster as an observer.
@MrsF: People say that to me too, and I agree, that has to be the reason! I didn't tell anyone (with the exception of a few people) until I was 13 weeks.

@hellobeeboston: definitely this. People couldn't believe my daughter was 3 months old. It felt like 3 years!

Oh yes, I feel like I've been pregnant forever!! I think it's because time flies when you're having fun and I've spent the last 7 months sober!!!
I get freaked out when ladies on HB who I'm sure were pregnant at the same time as me (just further along) and have had their babies say things like "My baby is rolling over" or "We are going to start introducing solids soon" and I'm like HUH?!! HOW has your baby grown up so fast and I'm STILL pregnant?!! @mrsjyw: @PrincessBaby: Like, you ladies were giving birth yesterday, surely?!!!
