Is This Weird?? Posted: 06-27-04 00:13am
Ok. Maybe this is totally normal. But
even tho im so excited and thrilled for my
son to be here (in 3 weeks and 4 days!) a
small part of me feels like I can wait..
.And that I will miss being pregnant.
Might sound weird im not sure. Its hard
to explain. But right now, I feel like
its something of my own ya know, that no
one really can understand, take away etc.
And I feel like I have a closer
connection,because well, I do. Its hard
to put into words.But when he comes...It
will be like I share him with everyone.
Lol im not like a selfish baby or
anything, and that makes it sound like I
am. But I just feel like I am going to
miss being pregnant..And then I have
alllll the responsibility in only a few
short weeks from now...I just am
overwhelmed! Is feeling that way normal?
Does anyone else?

Okay I feel weird too. Not that way
though. I mean I feel like okay my baby
will be here and everyone is like talking
about how they are gonna come see her and
we are gonna go out. I am like um no. I
am not picky, but I dont wnat my baby
being passed around like a ball. I mean
sure can have someone come over the house
and see her hold her whatever, but not go
somewhere and let everyone take turns
holding her. I also was thinking that I
dont want to have her. I want to keep her
in my belly, lol. I like the kicks and
the moving that I feel its very special to
me. Also I learned who my true friends
were and I think I will become blind again
once she gets here.
I am feeling totally overwhelmed over what
is gonna happen when she gets here, like
omg I am gonna be a mommy! How can I
afford her? Will her father ever see her?
Do I want him to see her? What kinda
mommy will I be? Will people judge me on
my parenting, etc. Oh boy theres that
feeling in my tummy again, lol.
Lots of love,
heather and hayley

Hey kari! I think that is completely
normal! You're not wierd! Although, I
dont really "know", its like a sentimental
thing too ya know? You'll always remember
your first pregnancy and its special! But
I do get what you are saying...You've
learned to deal with the situation and you
have control (well...Somewhat!) over your
pregnancy, and then when the baby comes
there is other people! Maybe I am not
making sense! But...No...Thats not
wierd!

Kari I know exactly what you mean! I miss
being pregnant a lot because it always
seemed like those little punches, kicks,
and hiccups were just for me, nobody else
ya know? And nobody feels as close to
your baby as you do. And as much as I
wanted him out and wanted to meet him,
part of me wanted him to stay put forever
and ever lol. But I thik it's pretty
normal. I didn't want to let anyone else
hold him. I felt like he was mine and all
mine...Lol. I still don't let people push
his stroller. He's my son and i'm proud
of it. Lol. But I think what you are
feeling is pretty normal. You are having
some anxiety. But I promise you will be
so thrilled when matthew gets here you
will forget all about it. You will hear
those little hiccups and think "they didnt
feel so little when I was trying to sleep"
lol. Sorry i'm just remnimiscing....I'm
way too sentimental....Lol. But yeah it's
normal hun.

I think it's completely normal to feel
that way b/c that's how I feel now that
rylee is here. I really wasn't one of
those people that enjoyed being pregnant
but now that i'm not I kinda miss it.
I've been through a lot since she was born
and i've been in and out of the hospital
so a lot of other people have had to take
care of her for me and I guess i'm just
jealous and I miss when it was just me and
her. I know that sounds selfish and
stupid! I mean I missed half of her first
week of life at least! I had to quit
breastfeeding so I lost that bonding
experience. It just angers me off! I'll
never get that time back. I wish I
could've just kept her in forever! Lol!
I never thought I would say that! Sorry I
was posting to try to make you feel better
but I probably made it even worse! Just
enjoy every second with your son for the
rest of your pregnancy and then for the
rest of your life. You'll always be #1 to
him.

I know a lot of women that I used to work
with that said that they loved being
pregnant. They would like to be pregnant
for the rest of their lives (but they
don't want to continually keep having
children.Lol) so, from what I have heard,
it is completely normal. But if you
think about it, it makes perfect sense.
I mean, you are creating a life inside of
you. Even with the sickness, swelling,
pains and being uncomfortable all of the
time, that is an awesome thing.
Kari,
though i've never had kids, I think that
it's perferctly normal. Right now your
child in you is just yours..... No one
can do anything to take that feeling away
from you right now, but once you have the
lil one, you are feeling like you'll lose
that special connection. But kari, it's
your child. You will have another type of
bond once you have the lil one! You'll be
a mommy! It's normal hun! Totally
normal!
