We talk about baby fever a lot, but do you have pregnancy fever? As in when you see a pregnant woman and you're all awwww about when you were once pregnant with LO?
I didn't LOVE pregnancy when I went through it and I still have moments of missing pregnancy/baby bump!

Nope. I'm done having kids. I don't get any twinges of "aww, I want to be pregnant." I'm thrilled not to be pregnant these days.

I miss being pregnant so much it actually makes my heart ache. I was worried and anxious like most women are but felt so euphoric throughout my pregnancy. I know this is not the case for everyone! I think it was because getting pregnant was kind of a miracle that I appreciated it more.

I miss the second trimester. I'm actually pregnant now and I still feel jealous when I see women who are obviously past the first tri.

Yes! I LOVED being pregnant!!! Pregnancy was the first time I truly loved my body and loved how I looked. It gave me so much confidence! Plus baby kicks are the BEST!!! I miss it and will never experience it again!

Yes, I had an easy pregnancy and I loved it. I remember very selfishly wanting the baby to stay in there longer so I could enjoy him all to myself without sharing.

Nooo. My last pregnancy was high risk and I had previously had a miscarriage and a stillbirth so it was riddled with anxiety. I do love baby kicks but I love them even more when they're out!

Yes. I'm one of those people who loves being pregnant. I'm sad our next pregnancy (if we should be so lucky) will be our last (most likely) because I will miss the experience of being pregnant.

I totally miss being pregnant. I was pretty lucky that had it pretty easy symptom wise. I had a lot of body image issues earlier in my life and pregnancy was the first time I truly loved my body and how I looked. If anything, I wish I had gotten bigger faster. And I was just absolutely enthralled with how my body changed to accommodate a growing baby. It's freaking amazing. I'm still amazed at how my body did that. My body has aches and weaknesses and problems, but it was amazing at pregnancy, labor and breastfeeding, so it made me appreciate my body. Plus, I'm only planning to have one child, so I really tried to soak in all the pregnancy goodness while I was pregnant.

@oliviaoblivia: You are a rock star! I'm on my 2nd and all I can think is "how can someone miss this?!" lol.

If I could guarantee it would be like my first pregnancy, then yes, definitely! I actually wanted to be pregnant again the day after he was born, I missed it so much. I would not want to redo my rainbow baby's pregnancy however....I was sick for 32 weeks.

After my first I did. After my second, nope! Sometimes I see really pregnant women and I just want to pat her on the back and give her chocolate or something.

Yes. Im grappling with if Ill ever get to experience it again too

I didn't vote. I do, for things like feeling the baby kick, knowing a life is growing inside, etc. But I don't b/c of the 1st trimester nausea, the aches and pains, not sleeping well, stretching skin, etc!

I did. But now I am pregnant and I kind of miss not being pregnant. At least I didn't wake up all the time having to pee. But baby kicks are the best!

Yesssssss. I have way more pregnancy fever than baby fever. I miss my bump, movement, and maternity clothes. The excitement of waiting to see what he/she looks like. I loved it!
Sure I felt awful sometimes but I still miss it a lot!

I miss it & don't know if we'll have a 2nd. I have a couple pregnant ladies around me & I'm admittedly envious.

I definitely do. I think mostly my "baby fever" is actually pregnancy fever. My pregnancy wasn't all sunshine and roses but it is just such an amazing thing that our bodies can do! And I found it to be a really exciting time, and now in retrospect that I know for me it was easier being pregnant than being a mom I think it makes me even more nostalgic for it! Though I realize pregnancy #2 most likely will be very different.

I loved feeling beautiful. I felt that I was the most beautiful I had ever been when I was pregnant.

I didn't vote because I am torn. I miss being pregnant because I don't need to worry about my waistline !!! Haha! Then I miss the kicks LO made inside and the intimacy is so unique which I'll never feel again. I also cherish my time doing prenatal yoga class every weekend, that was probably my healthiest time in my entire life. People are also super nice to me all around. And I miss being able to eat. A . LOT. without feeling guilty. hehe
However, I definitely don't miss the morning sickness, not being able to eat sushi / sashimi, wine, coffee, and basically everything that goes into my mouth needs to be healthy.

Nope nope nope. I want to have another baby and I like the excitement while pregnant, but physically it's the pits.

No, absolutely not. We are questioning whether we want more kids because I do not want to be pregnant again.

I miss being 6/7 months pregnant. Weight gain wasn't crazy and I had more clothes in my closet pre-pregnancy I could use.

I'm pregnant now....but I always said after my second that if we didn't end up having a third, I'd be even sadder that I would never be pregnant again than I would about not having one more newborn!
@petitenoisette: I completely agree with this.

Nope. My second pregnancy was hard on me, and my back is only recently back to somewhat normal (and DD2 is 17 months). We want more kids and if we didn't have them, I think I would be sad not to be pregnant because I wouldn't have realized when it was the last time. But I'd be sad in the abstract, not because I actually miss the experience itself.

Sort of, especially since my last came a few weeks early. I didn't get a chance to bask in my pregnantness the way I wanted to. I stopped working 3 weeks before my EDD and she came two days after my last day! But we are definitely done!

If it didn't have the first or third tri? Sure. Loved second trimester. As it stands, nope!
nectarine / 2765 posts
Nope. Nope. Nope. Pregnancy was absolutely miserable for me so I definitely don't want to do it again. Before I had my girls I felt a bit jealous when I saw pregnant women. Now, I just feel pity for them.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
Yes! I really didn't think I would. I think I'm just scared I won't get to go through it at least once more.
pear / 1657 posts
Generally not since I didn't like feeling like my body was taken over by someone else. But there are some things I miss - I loved the planning and anticipation, I really liked my maternity clothes, and my hair was so thick and lovely...
