I love my Joey to pieces but I miss...

[wendymin72]

my belly!!! Sound odd???

I actually miss that big ol' bowling ball belly! Feeling him move was an indescribable feeling. I was in awe of him every time I'd feel a kick, punch or wiggle.

I never thought I'd miss being pregnant but I guess that I do....Hmmm...this could mean trouble...lol

Don't worry Wendy it's natural. I remember crying in the hospital realizing I would never feel DS inside me again. It's such an intimate thing, a child growing in a mother, that it's normal to "grieve" the end of pregnancy.

LOL I also was grieving cause my belly was no longer hard but a big soft pooch! Don't worry it goes down, promise! My abs were STRONGER after my son (well with due training) than they ever were before. I hope I can do it agian - I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!

oh wendy, i totally understand.
after having ds it took me awhile to actually come to grips i was no longer pg. i missed the feel of inside my belly. once little joey is up and moving around on his own i think the feeling will intensify. as this is my last pregnancy i am truly relishing every kick and nudge...it is an incredulous feeling. being a woman is fantastic!!

Wendy,

For the past 5 years I've missed all that baby movement, too. It's the greatest part of being pregnant, IMO.

For the first while after having DD, I swore I could continue to feel "movement", but was told it was probably just my insides returning to normal.

Cheers,
Sandra

I too have been told that I may feel what appears to be a baby's movement after birth but that it is indeed your organs, etc returning to thier proper places. I haven't felt it all as of yet but I imagine that's quite a bizarre feeling...

Hi Wendy! Yes, I miss it too. And, I do swear that I feel my DS still moving inside of me (especially when I stretch out). I thought it was just in my head, but now, I know that it's just my organs moving back, as other people have said.

I have the opposite feelings. It is so nice not to be pregnant. I love that I don't have a belly. I can't wait to be 100% again and fit into all of my old clothes and workout at my old level.

I love having Rylee outside of me. It is so much more fun than when she was inside.
