I remember after DS1 where I would have periods of missing pregnancy... baby kicks... etc.
I'm only 4m pp with DS2 and we're undecided on a 3rd, but I def don't miss pregnancy...

Sometimes! But I've been lucky and have had two very easy pregnancies. DH thinks I'm addicted to being pregnant......

I'm practically in my 19th month of straight pregnancy if you count the fourth trimester and I'm really ready to not be pregnant anymore.

God no!!! But I do realise how lucky I was to be pregnant and pray we are lucky enough to have a third. I am just taking this time to revel in not feeling sick or in pain

I can promise you I will never do this again. I will NOT miss this. I missed little squishy babies but not pregnancy.

I don't miss being pregnant, but I miss the anticipation of meeting the new baby! I had hard pregnancies (high risk) and definitely am not looking forward to being pregnant again.

I thought I did, but I'm 34 week pregnant now and am wondering what the hell I was thinking, lol!
My SIL LOVES being pregnant...she's had really super easy pregnancies and births, just had her 6th baby, and is seriously considering being a surrogate.

We're done having kids, but I've always enjoyed being pregnant!

I'm only 25 weeks into my first pregnancy, but I can't see myself missing it. All in all, my pregnancy has been pretty easy (so far), but I really don't like not feeling like myself. I'm not enjoying the symptoms I do have (constipation, fatigue), and I don't like my body constantly changing and being restricted in my activity. It's been psychologically difficult for me, too - I'm just ready for my baby to be here.

NOPE.
Until week 30 I felt pretty much normal, at 30 weeks the swelling started, beginning of preeclampsia. Pregnancy carpal tunnel, my eyes would swell and I couldn't see. If I bent my limbs it felt like my skin would burst open. AWFUL. No thanks.

I really enjoyed being pregnant with my first and somewhat enjoyed being pregnant with my second. Both were pretty easy pregnancies, it was just harder being pregnant with a 10-19 month old!
Now pregnant with my third, I'm trying to enjoy every moment as I can absolutely, unequivocally, without a doubt, say with certainty that this will be our last baby. I'm only 7.5 weeks in though so it's not exactly the most enjoyable stage of pregnancy yet.....trying to take it all in though as I know I'll miss this someday!

I'm ready to be done. Pregnancy stresses me out since I'm high risk of pre term delivery. I'm trying to enjoy this pregnancy, my last pregnancy, but I will be glad to never be pregnant again!!

I do! And I distinctly remember telling DH at the end with LO2 to remind me how miserable I was when I started missing it...even though I had relatively easy pregnancies.
So maybe I miss the THOUGHT of being pregnant and the anticipation of meeting baby? We want one more, eventually, but I'm only 3 months out, so...

Yes! Maybe it is cause I have baby rabies, as a friend called it, but I don't remember pregnancy being that bad at all till about 37 weeks, and I was over it.

I did, for basically two years. I loved pregnancy so much. I felt wonderful, I had plenty of energy and adored my bump.
This time, my skin is awful, my hair is dry, I cant sleep, I'm uncomfortable (at 16 weeks) and I'm exhausted beyond measure!
So, what Im trying to say it I still miss being pregnant the first tine!

No. No, no, no, no, no! Pregnancy was never fun for me. GD, SPD, weight gain AND nausea (HOW?!) UGH! No way! I am thankful for my 3 sweet LOs, but I HAAAAAAAAATE being pregnant.

I miss how beautiful I felt, how cool it felt to be so active despite being big and pregnant.
I hated everything else.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
Meh. Certain aspects I do miss but mostly not really. If I didn't have GD maybe I would have loved it more.

I have fond memories of my pregnancy with DD, even though I was sick until 23-24 weeks. This time around, I have been even sicker than before and have missed a bunch of work and a lot of the housework and toddler care has fallen on my husband. There's no way I'm doing this again. Nope.

I really enjoyed having my baby so close to me all the time and it was definitely a special time, but it was also really hard and uncomfortable so I don't think it's something I could go through too many times!

12 days post partum and nope! I'm gonna do it again but I don't miss it now.

@Ash: Same here! I would rather be pregnant for much longer and skip the whole newborn phase.
