What Will You Miss About Being Pregnant?
Today I was feeling uncomfortable and cranky, none of my shoes fit, I could go on and on, so I was trying to remind myself that there are some good things about being pregnant (other than having a baby). So here are the things I came up with, and I thought it would be fun if others could add their thoughts too. Or at least it might remind us why we are all doing this!
Feeling the baby kick and move--this must be my favorite part of pregnancy
Small acts of kindness from strangers. Okay, it doesn't happen a lot, but some people do offer you seats on trains, and it always touches me when that happens.
Glowing skin--my skin has never looked better. Most days, it's glowing, and I finally have virtually no acne, even without acne meds or soaps.
The attention--I do love all the extra attention strangers, coworkers, and friends have given me.
DH patting or rubbing my tummy
Dreaming about the baby, what he looks like, what sort of personality he will have

Re: What Will You Miss About Being Pregnant?
I just started really feeling the baby and I think I will miss that. I also like how everyone is always extra nice with everything. I definitely will miss DH taking such good care of me.

Re: What Will You Miss About Being Pregnant?
Not much...while my pregnancy was pretty good, I just didnt really enjoy it as much as some people do.
I am going to miss maternity pants. This elastic is damn comfy!

Re: What Will You Miss About Being Pregnant?
I'll definitely miss feeling the baby move and the people who give me their seats on the train.
I'll probably miss falling asleep at 10:30 every night and sleeping for 8 hours straight after the baby comes. 
Oh yeah, how could I forget. I'm going to miss my BOOBS - big time!! I pray every night that I get to keep them as a pregnancy souvenier.

Re: What Will You Miss About Being Pregnant?
I will definitely miss being pregnancy and I never thought I would feel that way. The 1st trimester I didn't enjoy, but otherwise I have LOVED being pregnant.
I am so going to miss feeling the baby kick and move! Everytime it happens I am amazed. I thought that feeling would pass, but it hasn't.
The private bond that I feel I have with the baby as it grows inside of me.
Honestly, I think I am glowing. Pregnancy has really agreed with me and I couldn't be any happier!
The extra love, support & attention from our family & friends.
Dreaming of our life once this little bundle of joy arrives. The anticipation and excitement is like nothing I have ever experienced. Sure, it is overwhelming and somewhat scary too, but it also the most awesome feeling in the world.

Re: What Will You Miss About Being Pregnant?
Wow, I feel kind of lucky b/c I loved every second of being pregnant. I loved feeling the baby move all around. I felt extra important b/c I had the miracle of life growing inside of me. there are thousands of women out there who can't become pg. They would give their both arms just to have a baby. i never had to go through that and I am extremely grateful. So I made sure never to complain b/c I know just how lucky and blessed I am. I truly love being pg. And when I am done I know I am going to miss it but I will definitely enjoy raising my kids.

Re: What Will You Miss About Being Pregnant?
I love being pregnant also. I love feeling the baby move and kick. I love the look on Dh's face when he feels it. And seeing the excitment in my neice's eyes when she rubs my tummy and says hi to her cousin. I am enjoying not having af every month . I love being able to have sex for fun and not have to worry about trying to achieve or prevent pregnancy.
But I admit I can't wait till I can drink my wine and take pain and allergy meds again. Oh and I won't miss the daily injections and being covered in bruises. I can't wait till I can sleep on my tummy and have normal sized boobs again. I am tired of the porn star look.

Re: What Will You Miss About Being Pregnant?
Until I hit the third trimester I spent so much energy worrying about every little thing I didn't take the time to try & enjoy being PG. Now that the baby moves ALOT, I take time to revel in the feeling, and I'm sure once the baby is here I will miss it.

Re: What Will You Miss About Being Pregnant?
I have to admit- not much. To the girls who have had people give them seats on trains- you have no clue how lucky you are- I've had people practically mow me down to get a seat on a bus or subway-  Oooh 1 thing - I just realized that I haven't had my period in 6 mos- I'll DEFINITELY miss that!
