Does This Sound Mad?

[DebbieM]

I wrote a short blog today about how I feel about my "bump"

Does anyone else feel the same way?

Aww Debbie that is lovely and I think a lot of women feel that way

For myself though, even though I haven't had a difficult pregnancy or anything, I am one of those who doesn't particularly enjoy it. I can't wait to get into normal clothes again and be able to do normal things without having to have a sit down half way through or feeling totally knackered afterwards.

Don't get me wrong when baby is here I will miss feeling him wriggling about (I did last time), cos I have felt that for the last 5 months. It is a weird feeling when you have had baby and you do feel kinda physically empty but it is nice to have your body back to yourself as well.

I know I will be fine and I'll be so busy with the baby when he/she arrives that I won't have time to think about it but I guess it is just a case of the end of an era if you know what I mean.....

I was actually sobbing writing that blog today. I think I am losing it LOL

 

[fifi211]

Not at all does it sound silly, you have carried flump for 9 months, it is an end of an era.

it doesnt sound silly at all hun, i can remeber waking up the morning after haveing kieron and putting my hand on my tummy and then turned over to see kieron in the cot and i just cant describe the strange feeling inside, i think its also the thought of them not being totally yours anymore, if that makes sence

 

[DebbieM]

yeah it does make sense, but then I have shared this entire pregnancy with Matt so never felt (or hopefully made him feel) that it was all me, me, me (and Flump).

I think I am just having an emotional day today (AGAIN!)

 

[fifi211]

Your allowed to have emotional days

 

[DebbieM]

That's 2 in 7 days though! LMAO

i dont really miss the bump... but i miss the feeling of excitement of what was to come.. and also the moment they handed her to me... i would go thorugh labour a hundred times more just to have that split second feeling again

I'm fairly certain that that's how you're supposed to feel It's really sweet.

I don't feel like this at all so I feel really mean as I can't wait until others can carry baby too and it doesn't have to be me all the time. I don't think mummy's are suposed to have selfish thoughts like mine

I know exactly what you mean and it's not mad- I think it's hard for people who have not been pg to understand. We spend *almost* every waking moment thinking about the well-being of our bump that it will seem strange to no longer worry! Of course we will then spend every waking moment worrying about a REAL LITTLE PERSON! I'm not sure the bump nostalgia will last long! BEing pg is an amazing experience and it is now that we first bond with our babies- imagine how we're going to feel once we actually meet them. I can't wait!
