Thankfully we don't have the 2 year gestation period that an elephant does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-your-own-gestation-period/page/2#post-1656093 Sat, 24 May 2014 05:08:06 +0000 Ash 1656093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I agree! </p> <p>I loved being pregnant - I could've gone longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-your-own-gestation-period/page/2#post-1656085 Sat, 24 May 2014 04:18:40 +0000 erinpye 1656085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 hour?

Enough time to prepare but not enough to seem daunting. Although if you were only preg for 3 months you could have like, 3+ kids a year. EEK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-your-own-gestation-period/page/2#post-1654528 Fri, 23 May 2014 09:09:12 +0000 bookwormmama 1654528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: @Mrs. Sunshine: me too! I wasn't really uncomfortable at the end and I wasn't very sick at the beginning. I loved being pregnant...so I wouldn't really change the length! I actually miss a lot of it...I wish I had take more time to enjoy my last moments pregnant but I was so caught up with labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-your-own-gestation-period/page/2#post-1654519 Fri, 23 May 2014 09:07:29 +0000 snowjewelz 1654519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's an interesting question! I'm just finishing up 1st trimester, and I can def do without that... I have to see how the rest of my pregnancy goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-your-own-gestation-period/page/2#post-1654480 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:59:05 +0000 lilyann 1654480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 months would be my max. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-your-own-gestation-period/page/2#post-1654463 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:53:56 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1654463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: me too! If I could just be perpetually pregnant without perpetually having a million children, I would be! At the end I definitely wanted her to come out so I could meet her but I was never tired of being pregnant, just anxious to finally be a mommy. I even loved being "big". I wish my bump had showed up sooner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-your-own-gestation-period/page/2#post-1654354 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:23:35 +0000 Alivoo01 1654354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely loved being pregnant bc DS was super nice to me so I think I could have continued being pregnant for a lil while longer! Hoping #2 will treat me the same.

So 6 months would be good to get prepared for the baby and enjoy the pregnancy. </p> <p>Baby kicks would be nice and sweet then too instead of frightening thrashing around demolishing your internal organs. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-choose-your-own-gestation-period#post-1653438 Thu, 22 May 2014 20:09:09 +0000 Bao 1653438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4 months would be enough time to prepare but not too long to get overly anxious. </p>
