I hated being pregnant (even though I know it was the biggest blessing), but I didn't like any part of it...and I thought I looked disgusting. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1283561 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 09:48:42 +0000 lemondrop 1283561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I seriously wonder how I can get that big again! </p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: @autumnlove: I dunno, the second time around isn't nearly as much fun as the first. I missed it so much, but this time the kicks are harder and uncomfortable, and I feel way bigger. I'm trying to be grateful, but am mostly just cranky.</p> <p>Both pregnancies are fairly similar, but I remember the bad stuff much easier- sick to 22 weeks... check, killer heartburn.... check, now I'm just waiting for high bp and carpal tunnel to kick in... I'm also super duper over it and want to meet him already, I'm nesting unlike last time, I have an urgency to get things done asap since I now know what having a newborn means ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1280238 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:36:12 +0000 chopsuey 1280238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't believe my babies used to be in there! And thank God I never have to be pregnant again!</p> <p>:grin: :crying: :silly: :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1280141 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:06:31 +0000 Tidybee 1280141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look at the early days (weeks 12-20) when I thought I had this big old bump and it was barley there...and I laugh at myself about how much bigger it was going to get when I couldn't imagine it getting any bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1280079 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 13:44:57 +0000 Mrs. J 1280079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: this!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1279923 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:52:25 +0000 bhbee 1279923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: I have an almost 2 yr old and I still wear one pair of maternity pants!! they were small panel dressy pants and are so comfy. I'd be embarrassed if anyone saw the panel but it sits up high without a real belly so I think I'm safe :happy: </p> <p>actually . . . now that I think about it I also still wear my ON maternity yoga pants to sleep in. enough stretch that they fit at every stage and still fit now! (I'm at my pre-preg weight so don't guilt myself about loving them) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1279881 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:44:10 +0000 bhbee 1279881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looked like a balloon with all the water retention, but I still miss it when I see it. I'm far enough away to have forgotten all the bad things and just remember what all the bonding felt like and how exciting it was for the baby to move.<br /> I hope to be back with a bump before the end of 2014! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1279727 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:02:52 +0000 Mrs. Pink 1279727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: I miss mine too- we didn't take very many pictures because I felt SO BIG but I miss feeling her move! Seeing how wiggly she is "on the outside" sheds some light on the crazy jumping belly I used to have LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1279585 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:27:47 +0000 bamwam 1279585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel nostalgic! It makes me miss feeling those little baby kicks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1279575 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:26:19 +0000 wonderstruck 1279575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Same here! I can't believe I'm TTC again already, because my pregnancy was hell. Everyone told me I'd miss being pregnant, just wait and see. Hahahahahaha. I do not miss it one bit, when I look at pictures I just think, "Thank god that's over. Net time has to be better, right?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1279481 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:07:34 +0000 babypugs 1279481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not really enjoy pregnancy, but looking at pictures still makes me feel nostalgic! I do miss having a huge meal and being excited that my stomach looked bigger, instead of having to suck it back in in shame :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1279429 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:55:19 +0000 googly-eyes 1279429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have a few but I don't really miss it. It was a long time before I started getting back to clothes I like etc and I could do without the pregnancy part... ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1279043 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:08:31 +0000 Periwinkle 1279043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss my pregnant belly so much! Of course there were downsides, but I have never felt more confident in my whole life! Definitely NOT ready for another LO yet, but miss that feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1279033 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:05:29 +0000 Bookish 1279033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think how horrible I looked! I blew up like a balloon when I was pregnant, and I don't miss looking like that at all!! And I don't miss being pregnant lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1279028 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 09:04:00 +0000 Rubies 1279028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved both bumps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278865 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 06:34:48 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1278865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I looked great... Until the end, when my face blew up. This time.... I'm not liking how I look at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278838 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 05:26:42 +0000 Purpledaisy 1278838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It makes me miss being pregnant. Even though hopefully that's not going to happen again for awhile! I loved being pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278777 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 02:10:38 +0000 JessKas 1278777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think holy lord I am so glad I'm not pregnant anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278763 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 01:57:05 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1278763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I was huge! :happy: I don't miss it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278762 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 01:55:48 +0000 autumnlove 1278762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dreamocracy: nice bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278758 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 01:52:57 +0000 Ree723 1278758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved being pregnant last time - I loved the kicks and the special bonding time I had with my growing baby. Looking back at pics made me sad it was all over too soon.</p> <p>Now, 7 months into this pregnancy, I can't wait for it to be over. I'm so over it and it will definitely be a good couple of years before I do this again! Maybe by then I'll be back to the wistful/nostalgic stage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278742 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 01:27:02 +0000 shopaholic 1278742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems surreal - like I can't remember what it was like to have the belly! I do miss having LO inside of me and feeling so protected inside. I really grew in the last month, so seeing those pictures I can't believe and remember being that big! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278741 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 01:23:48 +0000 MrsScallop 1278741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mostly miss it! I also really miss having a "shelf" to rest my plate on when snacking on the couch. That was pretty awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278736 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 01:18:48 +0000 erwoo 1278736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss not having to suck my belly in! LOL! And how much nicer people were to me when I was pregnant. :P But we're done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278724 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 00:58:47 +0000 Pepper 1278724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss my bump! I also miss baby kicks, maternity pants, and not sucking in my stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278717 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 00:52:28 +0000 Running Elley 1278717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get nostalgic but I want my real body back before I get pregnant again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1278710 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 00:47:17 +0000 fairy 1278710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just think :holy crap I was huuuge! And then remember how uncomfortable it was and be thankful I'm not pregnant right now :) For reference, here was me 2 days before dd was born! </p> [attach=3203/13/mxqdev.450x600.20130605_150125.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1276569 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:31:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 1276569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved my pregnant body but didn't enjoy pregnancy at all, so it's a mix of nostalgia and relief. And my bump never felt as big as it looked in some of the photos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1276556 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:29:36 +0000 deerylou 1276556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get nostalgic, but I'm glad I'm enjoying my daughter out here, in the world. I loved being pregnant, and can't wait until we're ready for # 2. However, I would ideally never experience the first trimester, again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-reaction-when-you-see-your-old-bump-photos/page/2#post-1276471 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:14:10 +0000 cmomma17 1276471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: LOL, perfect! :) </p>
